  • “Times They Are A' Changing”
    “The Aiguillette” The Society of White House Military Aides Summer 2013 May 21, 2013 Chairman’s Report – Summer of 2013 This has been another interesting year for the Society, one of our best! In addition to selling out both of our two popular and well-attended major events in 5 working days, we have media project(s) in early stage, and have linked to the currently serving aides at the highest level in 20+ years! This has happened despite declining attendance for most similar type organizations: Rotary, MOAA, and church groups. We must be doing the right things. The Society continues to have a high number of new Lifetime Members, typically younger aides, totaling more than 135, with 38 aides signing up in the last two years. Finally, we are seeing an evolution of many small, informal “meet-ups” for the Society. I will have my 9th, a personal record, on June 6th. Welcome to my family!! We began with yet another great White House Christmas tour at the historic Occidental Restaurant immediately opposite the White House. Johnson and Nixon Aide Andy Lawrence, one of our Trustees, who has served 5 presidents, presented us with the best account of what it is like to become a Social Aide to a President. See below Andy with President Nixon, Prince Philip, the Chief Justice, and barely seen CAPT Chuck Larson (future CINCPAC) on the stairwell. “Andy Lawrence introducing VP Spiro Agnew to President Nixon and Prince Phillip with CAPT Chuck Larson (future CINCPAC) observing from the stairs.” “Andy is a good dancer, so is now Father, (priest), Mike Blackwell.” “The Aiguillette” The Society of White House Military Aides Summer 2013 Seventy (70) of us attended the Nationals - Cubs Game on May 10th sitting in the Club Section with access to the Stars and Stripes Club, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

  • “Times They Are A' Changing”
    “The Aiguillette” The Society of White House Military Aides Summer 2014 May 15, 2014 Chairman’s Report – Summer of 2014 “Standing Tall and Looking Good, We Ought to be in Hollywood” Year 24 and Counting. This year, our 24th, will prove to be the capstone for 25 years of service to former and current military aides. That will become clearer in the Fall when we announce our, " Next 25 Years" initiative. The Society grew during that time from a list of 40 aides to over 500 aides who have paid dues at one time or another, 151 Lifetime Members, with 39 of those the last 3 years, and 37 Obama and Bush '43 Aides. We are definitely attracting younger members. The Christmas event was sold out again, featuring a really great tour of the Decatur House on 10 December, an address by noted White House Historian William Seale, and a Candlelight Tour on 22 December. See the wonderful pictures, compliment of Matthew Paul D'Agostino, M.A, White House Historical Association, thank you Dag. During that 24 years we have escorted privately over 3000 people through the Christmas White House, and over 5000 have attended our many events. We are very proud of that accomplishment and I should thank Bill Sinnott (Carter/Reagan), Veronica Richardson (Clinton), Tim Milbrath (Reagan/Clinton) who have served us unselfishly for many years, and Paul Crissy (Reagan) who helped us in the 1990's to get things moving in the right direction. Also Andy Lawrence (Johnson/Nixon) and Mary Stuart Price for the vision to create this Society.

  • LCDR David A. Smith, USCG
    Lieutenant Commander David A. Smith U.S. Coast Guard Liaison Officer U.S. Navy Third Fleet Lieutenant Commander David A. Smith serves as the liaison between Coast Guard Pacific Area Commander and Navy Third Fleet Commander. Located at Third Fleet Headquarters in San Diego, C.A., he is responsible for coordinating efforts to maximize interoperability between the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard in the Pacific Theater. Lieutenant Commander Smith’s Coast Guard experience spans five afloat tours including command of a forward deployed Patrol Boat in the Arabian Gulf, supporting the U.S Navy Fifth Fleet Central Command. While in Bahrain he experienced multiple incendiary encounters with Iranian warships, including one incident in which a Revolutionary Guard Corp Navy warship aggressively crossed his bow within 50 yards in an attempt to provoke a response. As a key contributor to the national intelligence dialogue, he validated illicit smuggling theories by exploiting engagements with local dhows while simultaneously disrupting efforts to smuggle high-grade explosives, automatic weapons, and ammunition. Under his leadership, his vessel was recognized during the 2015 Hopley Yeaton Cutter Excellence Award for exceptional performance, operational expertise, and value brought to the nation. While in Bahrain he also facilitated numerous meetings with senior United Arab Emirates (UAE) civilian and military officers. His liaison efforts led to the first joint search and rescue exercise between the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and UAE Coast Guard. Lieutenant Commander Smith's staff tours included Command Duty Officer and Search and Rescue coordinator from 2010 to 2013 in Cleveland, Ohio.

  • Distinguished Alumni Hall-Of-Fame Yearbook 2018
    The Warren High Schools’ Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame Committee 2018 YEARBOOK 26th Annual Awards Dinner Warren G. Harding High School Saturday, May 5, 2018 Warren, Ohio www.warrenschools.k12.oh.us WARREN HIGH SCHOOLS’ DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI HALL OF FAME HISTORY In the early 1990’s, Frank Calvin met with then-Superintendent Louis Cardamone to discuss the possibility of creating a hall of fame to honor outstanding graduates of Warren High School, Warren G. Harding High School and Warren Western Reserve High School. Agreeing on the need and the desire to form such a group, these two men and a committee of prominent citizens and school representatives began to investigate similar organizations within the state. On May 15, 1993, their dream was realized, as ten graduates became the charter members of the Warren High Schools’ Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame. The Induction Class of 1993 included Wilson Binger, Charles Foley Sr., Eli Goldston, Myron Lotz, Robert Nader, Irene Oliver, Ronald Parise, Jeffrey Taft, Janis Hopkins Trachtman and Michael Verich. Miss Augusta Barrick, long-time Harding speech and English teacher and member of the original committee, was given honorary membership. Since then, seven to ten new members have been inducted each year. Plaques showing a personal sketch and giving a brief list of accomplishments of each inductee are displayed in the halls of Harding High School. The Alumni Hall of Fame began the scholarship program by honoring the valedictorian and salutatorian of the Warren G. Harding senior class with a scholarship as well as the top two juniors with a financial reward in recognition of their academic achievement.
