Note: My response to Mr. McKinley.--- Dear Stephen,---Thank you for the notification on the passing of our shipmate Jackson Wyche. Each year at our annual reunion we hold two memorial services to honor our shipmates that were killed in action on April 6. 1945 aboard Haynsworth and also those shipmates that have passed away since our last reunion which was held in Albany New York last September (20012). This year we will meet in herndon, Virginia and have our memorial service in the US Naval Academy Chapel in Annapolis Maryland and also in our opening ceremony at our annual Banquet on September 28. 2013. At these services, Jackson will be remembered along with the others. I will cancel delivery of the Haynsworth Newsletter as requested, but if it is alright, I will send our April, 2013 Newsletter which will have Jackson’s name and service posted in our “TAPS” section. Let me know if I can send this one last issue or not. Thank you.---//s// Jim Horn, Editor----Mr. McKinley responded.---Thank you for your kind consideration Mr. Horn!

Many thanks. //s// Loren (Ed note: I replied to Loren telling her that I would gladly continue sending the Haynsworth to her and that I would send the April, 2013 E-Newsletter to her to decide which format she would like.

Johnston, ET2/c ’65-’67 Richardson, TX [email protected] ) Hi Jim,--- Just received the latest newsletter and as always enjoy everything written and the old pictures.

The most common amount that shipmates send in is $20.00/yr.---I don’t know if you are aware of the two web-sites we have for the Haynsworth.

Could you update my e-mail with: [email protected] and phone number with (972) 235-0861 here in Richardson, Texas. Thanks. //s// Robert Johnston ETR2 ’65-’67 (P.S.—Look forward to any information you can obtain on the “Galveston Crew”! (Ed. Note: All you “Galveston Crew” contact Bob if you want to re-connect with him). The following four stories have been submitted by Capt. (Ret) David J. Oberholzer, ’57-’59 LT(jg). KUDOS goes out to David for his response to “call for shipmate experiences” aboard the USS Haynsworth! Editor encourages all shipmates to send in their remembrances of time spent aboard Haynsworth. As I have stated in several Newsletters, The ‘MAIL BAG’ is the most popular section of the newsletter followed by shipmate submission of photos taken during service aboard Haynsworth and reunions. COUNTER PAIN While steaming south in the RED SEA, heading for independent patrol duty in the PERSIAN GULF, a seemingly minor equipment failure occurred.---- In CIC (Combat Information Center) there were, attached to the DRA (DEAD RECONING ANALYZER), three small mechanical counters, each the size of a large walnut. They were gear driven by small (stepping) motors on the DRA, receiving inputs from the pitometer log (measuring ship’s speed through the water) and from the ship’s gyrocompass (indicating course being steered).----The three counters indicated miles traveled: one EAST?WEST, another NORTH/SOUTH and the third, total miles traveled. These data are obviously vital to the Navigator, Executive Officer and the Captain. (Ed. Note: I would also like to add CIC (Combat Information Center) where the DRT is extremely important in conducting ASW (Anti- Submarine Warfare) where accurate plotting of the initial reported location of submarine by SONAR. (SEE: P-4) USS Haynsworth Newsletter MAIL BAG (July, 2013 (P-4) (Continued from page 3) The EAST/WEST miles counter had failed (fallen apart). These devices were made by the VEEDER-ROOT Company and were not repairable. We had no spare aboard nor, it turned out, did any other ship in the SIXTH FLEET to which they were willing to admit by message.----Two new counters were ordered through the Supply system immediately.----As we steamed on station in the PERSIAN GULF. It was necessary for the Navigator to calculate the missing data, using trigonometry and other magic. As days turned into weeks with no counter arriving, he became increasingly irritated with it’s non-arrival. The pressure was mounting.---- In desperation I penned a letter to the President of the VEEDER-ROOT Company, enclosed a $10.00 bill and begged for a counter to be dispatched to me.----One day, weeks later, my prayers were answered when a small box arrived in my mail from VEEDER-ROOT Company with a “good luck” note from the President.----This trumped any food package from home and even trumped a perfumed letter from my girlfriend! //s// David J.

September 19 to 23, 2012, at the Crown Plaza Albany NY Last year’s Musical Ship’s Wheel, 2011 Reunion Clock was a huge success and highly desired raffle Clock. Based on the responses received, I selected a similar clock for our 2012 Reunion in Albany New York. This Particular clock called “The Americana” plays 18 tunes: America the beautiful; My Country ‘Tis of Thee; Battle Hymn of the Republic; You’re a Grand Old Flag; When the Saints Go Marching In; She wore a Yellow Ribbon; Amazing Grace; In the Garden; Ave Maria,(Hail Mary); How Great Thou art; Jesus Love Me; What a Friend We Have in Jesus; and 6 Christmas melodies; The First Noel; Jingle Bells; Silent Night; Deck the Halls; Joy to the World; and lastly, We Wish You a Merry Christmas. The shape is OVAL and 21” high by16” wide. The clock also has a light sensor so the music is not played at night.(so it doesn’t wake you up). On the hour, the clock Face opens and reveals a revolving patriotic display. There is an open window at the bottom of the clock revealing a pendulum movement. The frame of the clock is beautifully finished wood. See last year’s winner, Norm Schultz (44-45) inside this issue.
