Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Lady Gangster a Sailor's Memoir by Del Staecker the Lady Gangster, a Sailor's Memoir by Del Staecker Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Lady Gangster A Sailor's Memoir by Del Staecker The Lady Gangster, a Sailor's Memoir by Del Staecker. The Lady Gangster is a quick and fascinating read. Del Staecker does an excellent job framing the story of his father's service aboard an armed transport ship during the Second World War. Officially named the USS Fuller, the ship is better known by her apt nickname, Lady Gangster , a name christened by her crew, made up almost entirely of fellow Chicagoans. In addition to being an accounting of his father's service, Lady Gangster is also a heartwarming story of a rapprochement between father and son. A long road trip and a broken radio result in hours of conversation and an outpouring of memories. For the first time, the young son listens to his father's vivid and detailed recounting of his harrowing experiences serving with the Navy in the Pacific Theater. Through his writing, Staecker transports the reader from inside that car where he listens intently to his father's story, to the various locations were his father served. Staecker intersperses his father's reminiscences with just the right amount of family background, comments, clarifications and explanations of wartime history to keep the reader up-to-speed with the historical setting and maritime terminology. The book is well written and includes useful maps, which help orient the reader to the action and keep up with the unbelievably savage fighting and island-hopping through places with names like Guadalcanal, Tinian, "the Slot," Saipan, and Okinawa. The book also includes several photographs that help personalize the story and make the action that much more realistic. With dignity and grace, Staecker pays homage to both his father's unheralded service during the war and the equally unheralded service of a proud and effective ship, along with her officers and crew. Well done! Reviewed by: John Cathcart (2009) Author's Synopsis. The true story of WWII's most amazing ship and her unique crew of 327 reservists from Chicago. In a seamless blend of oral history, narrative, biography, autobiography, journal entries, ships logs, action reports, newspaper articles, illustrations, photos, and even two poems - the Lady Gangster's tale explains how the "Chicago Boys" transformed from raw naval recruits into veteran "Salts." From the North Atlantic through nine invasions in the Pacific the crew of the USS Fuller heroically earned for their Lady the title of "Queen of Attack Transports." The Lady Gangster: A Sailor's Memoir by Del Staecker. Military Writer’s Society of America (MWSA) John Cathcart, reviewer. “ The Lady Gangster is a quick and fascinating read. Del Staecker does an excellent job framing the story of his father’s service aboard an armed transport ship during the Second World War.

Well done!” World War II History magazine. The Lady Gangster: A Sailor’s Memoir …offer[s] [a] revealing perspective of life aboard wartime attack transports… [It] is a combination of his father’s memoirs as a sailor aboard the USS Fuller …and the unique way he got his father to finally open up and talk about his wartime experiences… Staecker’s book grew out of an 18-hour father-son car trip in 1967 from Florida to Illinois with a broken car radio. The two had been making uncomfortable small talk until the son (Del) asked, “Dad, will you tell me what you did in the war?” The father’s answer is the firsthand account of the Fuller and its courageous crew who braved enemy attacks while delivering troops and supplies during many of the toughest battles in the South Pacific. It is also the poignant tale of how a simple question forged a lasting bond between father and son. [Staecker’s book has] a charm all [its] own and get[s] two thumbs up . The Chicago Gangster newsletter. Virginia Black, wife of a USS Fuller crew member. “The first time I read [ The Lady Gangster ] I cried all day. A month later I read it again, and liked it even more. I believe it to be a true documented report of the terrible war years. Many times I heard my dear husband tell stories about that great ship, but I had no idea what heroes the men who sailed her were. …it was very thrilling…such a marvelous book.” U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings. “About 40 years ago, author Del Staecker asked his father, ‘will you tell me what you did in the war?’ Irvin Staecker’s answer is this first-hand account of his service from 1941 to 1945 on board the USS Fuller. She was an attack transport nicknamed ‘The Lady Gangster’ by a crew made up largely of Chicagoans like Irvin. In 32 concise chapters, this book retells conversations Del and Irvin had in 1967. Irvin’s accounts are printed in italics, mixed with Del’s recollections of their talks and what he subsequently learned from his dad’s notes, ship journals, and additional research… Written in an atypical yet appealing style, The Lady Gangster is a spirited tale that has…attracted numerous readers.” The Lady Gangster: A Sailor's Memoir by Del Staecker. “Del’s presentations are part storytelling, part lecture, and totally fun! His personal likability and engaging delivery delights, entertains, and educates all ages and audiences.” - U.S. Navy Writer On Deck Program. Lessons Learned from our Greatest Generation.

ON TO GUADALCANAL ISLAND Friday August 7 1942 Today will be a long remembered day. Today the Allies are going to make the first offensive landing of World War 11. I believe that we are all proud to be part of that move. The convoy is now entering the channel between Tulagi and Guadalcanal Islands. Our Cruisers are shelling the shore establishments. Every now and then a blast goes up from the beach, followed by black smoke. Another oil dump has gone up. The Marines are ready and set to go, and the beach guard is standing by. We are all watching the shelling, bombing and planes strafing the beach. There has been very little return fire and little damage done to us. Can it be possible that we are going to walk into this invaluable base without much work? Zero hour is now close by. Much activity now on deck. All boats being rigged out. Now they hit the water. As soon as they let go their lines they come along side the nets. The Marines are pouring down the nets into the boats. Equipment follows them down. The first wave stands off to the assembly area. Now the second wave is loading. Soon they too are off to their assembly area.

  • The Starfleet Registry
    THE STARFLEET REGISTRY RESEARCHED AND COMPILED BY JOHN W. BULLERWELL Introduction What you hold is perhaps the most comprehensive listing of the NCC- and NX- Federation Starfleet registration numbers ever created. Unfortunately, as comprehensive as it is, it is also confusing, error filled and riddled with mysteries. These numbers are from the entirety of fandom and canon. If you’re looking for a work of completely canon numbers and nothing else, this is not the document for you. Because the majority of these numbers come from fandom, there are a lot of discrepancies, and a lot of replication. There are numerous considerations I needed to make in compiling the list. For instance, I worked under the assumption that a ship with a lettered suffix (for example NCC-1234-C) is carrying a registry ‘tradition’, like the Enterprise. Therefore, if fandom listed a NCC-XXX-A U.S.S. No Name, I assumed the was a NCC-XXX (no suffix) No Name as well. While this is indeed very unlikely, I included them for the sake of completeness, as the original originator likely intended. Also, spellings in this document are intentional. If a ships name was Merrimac, I did not change it to Merrimack, or vice-versa. Again, it is assumed that the originator of the ship’s name/number intended their spelling to be correct. Some vessels had the same names and numbers, but were listed under two different class names. An example of this would be the Orka-class and the Clarke-class. Both classes had the same ships and numbers.

  • Sons June 03 Issue
    ISSUE NO. 28 JUNE 03 published by Joe Renna for the Sons of Peterstown Sports Club IT’S TIME TO GET BACK TO BASICS t's ironic how the same technology that has made the world small has also caused Icommunities to disseminate. The necessity to cluster in urban centers is less crucial to survival. Value systems were once rooted in physical, spiritual and emotional interaction. To achieve the same level of community life has now become a challenge. At one time, the family was at the base of the community, but that is no longer true in fact, even the meaning of the word "family” has changed. Today the word “family” refers to parents and their children. Anyone outside that core group is strictly an arms-length relationship. Up to the 1960's, families were extended past the range of second cousins, once removed. What was more remarkable than the family's social bonds was their geographical relationship. Generations were born and raised within city blocks of each other. In most cases, the units of a multiple dwelling were all occupied by the same family. The next tier of the community consisted of relationships between neighbors. Friendships were so tight that they would blend together with family ties. The trust and love between neighbors was just as strong as family. Marriage between different families within the community strengthened ties even deeper. This was the way it was for many neighborhoods, especially the immigrant communities that huddled together out of necessity, before they assimilated or were even given the opportunity to assimilate.
