Sperry Award The Elmer A. Sperry Award shall be given in recognition of a distinguished engineering contribution which, through application, proved in actual service, has advanced the art of transportation whether by land, sea or air. In the words of Edmondo Quattrocchi, sculptor of the Elmer A. Sperry Medal: “This Sperry medal symbolizes the struggle of man’s mind against the forces of nature. The horse represents the primitive state of uncontrolled power. This, as suggested by the clouds and celestial fragments, is essentially the same in all the elements. The Gyroscope, superimposed on these, represents the bringing of this power under control for man’s purposes.” Sperrybklet/june03rev 10/21/03 3:09 PM Page 3 Presentation of The Elmer A.

    Total received donations for the Vietnam Era Display are at $3,100, with $1,900 needed to reach a ship’s goal of $5,000. Can you help? (See page 22) LOOKING BACK... 2nd Quarter 2011 "Rest well, yet sleep lightly and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide firepower for freedom…” THE JERSEYMAN 9 Years - Nr. 70 World War II Memorial Washington, D.C. 2 THE JERSEYMAN LOOKING BACK… May 23, 1943 World War II commissioning of the USS New Jersey, May 23, 1943. My mother is the taller of the two uniformed WAVE personnel, dead center on the fantail, and facing the camera. Mom is now 93 years old, and she will be 94 in August. She is very cognizant of the events and details of her assignment, and which happened before she married. She is very proud of her service to her country as a WAVE. Although she would have liked to stay in the navy, she had to leave the service in August 1945, as World War II ended, because even though she had later married she was pregnant with my oldest brother. At that time, WAVES would not permit expectant mothers to remain on active duty, married or not. I think a lot has probably changed in the navy since then. David Jennings Midlothian, Virginia Catherine DeSales Corbett Jennings, was one of two waves that were assigned to USS New Jersey for 1 month before the ship was commissioned. Once the ship was commissioned on 23 May 1943, the WAVES were reassigned back to their original duty station at BUPERS (Bureau of Naval Personnel) in Washington, D.C.

They waited hidden, heavily armed and ready to kill.
