The theme of this edition of Pull Together is the growing number of outreach activities that aim to educate the general public on aspects of our great naval heritage. An alliance of partners is helping to make these activities happen. Again in 2015 we offer many opportunities for members to discuss, share, and be a part of naval history. On April 15, the NHF is partnering for two member events. Once again at the Washington Navy Yard, we are joining with the Naval Submarine League to cohost the annual Submarine History Seminar, which will focus on the submarine-launched ballistic missile partnership this nation has maintained with Great Britain for a half a century. Meanwhile at Fraunce’s Tavern in New York, we will join with the local Navy League Council to honor Commo. Dudley W. Knox medal recipient Craig Symonds who will receive the John Barry Book Prize for his publication of Operation Neptune. A week later, on April 23, we gather with the National Maritime Historical Society for our joint Washington Awards dinner at the National Press Club where I will join with retired Coast Guard Commandant Robert Papp to present CNO Adm. Jonathan Greenert with our Distinguished Service Award. May will offer a another membership engagement opportunity on the West Coast as we will host a reception during the 2015 North American Society for Oceanic History conference on May 14 at Monterey, Calif. On June 20, we will host our annual meeting at the Washington Navy Yard where we will announce the recipients of the 2015 Commo. Dudley W. Knox Medal. Our annual meeting’s David Leighton Lecturer will be our own Dr. Dave Winkler, author of the well-received Ready Then, Ready Now, Ready Always centennial history of the Navy Reserve. On the evening of September 18 we will conclude the McMullen Naval History Symposium at the Naval Academy with the Naval Historical Foundation Awards Banquet where we will present the Knox Medals to this year’s recipients. Finally, on October 16 and 17, we are joining with our sister-service historical foundations to cohost “Violent Skies: The Air War over Vietnam” at a venue here in the nation’s capital.

Though nothing beats face-to-face interactions, we continue to maintain robust relationships through our online book-review program, blogposts, and social media. Of note, our digital historian, Matt Eng, reports the highest percentage of our Facebook and Blog followers are in the 25 to 34 age group, of which nearly half are women. To gain even more “clicks” to www.navyhistory.org and www.usnavymuseum.org, we are developing a close relationship with the Chicago-based Pritzker Military Museum and Library, which I toured myself last August. Of course our biggest partner remains the Naval History and Heritage Command. Congratulations to Rear Adm. Sam Cox for his selection as Director of Naval History. We look forward to continuing our relationship with him and his staff. Bruce DeMars

Cover: The Navy Reserve Turns 100!

day before the actual centennial of the Navy Reserve (Congress created the Navy Reserve as well as the Offi ce of Chief of Naval Operations on March 3, 1915) the Navy initiated a year-long calendar of festivities to celebrate contributions made by America’s Citizen Sailors. In this cover photo, Naval A Historical Foundation Commo. Knox Medal recipient Dr. Phillip K. Lundeberg is fl anked by CNO Adm. Jonathan Greenert and Chief of Navy Reserve Vice Adm. Robin Braun. Dr. Lundeberg participated in the V-12 program at Duke University and eventually received his Naval Reserve offi cer commission through the Midshipman School at Columbia University. He was assigned to the destroyer escort Frederick C. Davis which was torpedoed in the Atlantic by a German U-boat two weeks before V-E. Day in 1945. Lundeberg’s story is one of many told in Dr. Dave Winkler’s Ready Then, Ready Now, Ready Always: More Than a Century of Service by Citizen Sailors that can be ordered via the Naval Historical Foundation’s website www.navyhistory.org. Both Adm. Greenert and Vice Adm. Braun will attend the National Maritime Historical Society-Naval Historical Foundation Washington Awards Dinner as the CNO will receive the fi rst Naval Historical Foundation Distinguished Service Award and the Chief of Navy Reserve will present the National Maritime Historical Society Distinguished Service Award to philanthropist H.F. “Gerry” Lenfest who retired from the USNR as a captain.

Pull Together • Spring 2015 5 THE NAVAL HISTORICAL FOUNDATION PARTNERS WITH THE NATIONAL

We are pleased to invite you to join us for the Washington Awards Dinner, in partnership with the National Maritime Historical Society (NMHS), on Th ursday, 23 April, at the renowned National Press Club across from Pennsylvania Avenue. Th is is a festive gathering of the maritime community to recognize the contributions of three esteemed honorees to our maritime heritage and maritime industry. It is an auspicious year; 2015 marks the centennial of the U.S. Naval Reserve and the offi ce of Chief of Naval Operations, as well as the 100th anniversary of the joining of the Revenue Cutter Service and the Lifesaving Service to form the United States Coast Guard. Chairing the dinner will be Dr. William S. Dudley, a distinguished naval historian and author on the boards of both NMHS and NHF, and CAPT James A. Noone, USNR (Ret.), managing director of Mercury Public Relations and a director of the Naval Historical Foundation. Distinguished yachtsman, author, television commentator, past president of US Sailing and president of the National Sailing Hall of Fame Gary Jobson will be master of ceremonies, and the US Coast Guard Academy Cadet Singers will be performing. Harold F. “Gerry” Lenfest A graduate of Washington and Lee University and Columbia Law School, Mr. Lenfest served in the US Navy aboard destroyers, retiring with the rank of captain. He went on to practice law, eventually joining Triangle Publications, Inc., as as- sociate counsel in 1965. He was placed in charge of Triangle’s communications division; in 1974, Mr. Lenfest formed a new company, which purchased two of Triangle’s cable companies, and grew the company to one of the nation’s top cable television companies before its acquisition by Comcast in 2000. Gerry Lenfest is a dedicated philanthropist; his projects range from the Lenfest Ocean Program, funding research about ocean sustainability and fi sheries, to education programs and cultural institutions. His donation of $5.8 million to the SS United States Conservancy enabled that organization to purchase the famed ocean liner, which they plan to restore and adapt to a multiuse venue and museum space celebrating its history. Th is past year he, along with Bob Hildreth, commit- ted $2.8 million to restore the historic schooner Ernestina-Morrissey. Th is is one

of America’s most important ships and one the Society has been instrumental in lenfest gerry courtesy saving, which makes us particularly honored to be able to recognize Mr. Lenfest. For his invaluable support of historical organizations, our oceans, and the vessels that carry our maritime history, we will be recognizing Mr. Lenfest with the NMHS Distinguished Service Award. Mr. Lenfest served as a reservist in the US Navy, where he learned to get along with people of widely varying backgrounds, to value integrity, and to reward good performance—sterling elements of character which help explain his personal success. Th e award will be presented by Chief of Navy Reserve VADM Robin Braun.
