Around 1962-1963 my late husband LCDR Henry G. Bozeman spent some time in Norfolk, VA as one of three Navy test pilots for the WF-2. At the end of the test period, they flew 3 of the new "Willie Fudds" back to the base in Rhode Island where they were stationed. As they approached the tower before landing, the guy in the tower told them they looked like a heard of turtles coming in for a landing. They were of course dubbed "Fudd Drivers.” I remember we all had so much fun with that airplane. Grumman gave my husband a model of the WF-2 for his desk... I still have it today. And I am very proud of it. He was known as "# 1 Fudd Driver." I do have a number of pictures of the three coming in for a landing (pictures that the Navy photographers took. They are 8 x 12) Even the pictures of the celebration after they returned. They are packed away, some where.. I would be glad to send you copies of them for your files if you would like. This WF-2 evidently a newer version, than the one pictured here. He was in the VAW-12 squadron, and as I remember I believe that the three test pilots took them on their maiden voyage.. At this point I can't remember the name of the ship that was there at the Naval Base in Rhode Island. I was rather young then and really didn't pay a lot of attention to the particulars. So my dates may be a little off. Both of the other pilots had the first names of John. Just now I can't recall their last names, I believe all were LCDRs. (John Lavra & John Ward-ed) My husband went on to become the youngest flight deck officer in the Navy at that time on the Independence (the guy that took his place got a huge 4 page spread in an important magazine ...Life, or one of those...as the youngest Flight Deck Officer in the Navy. He was several years older than my husband! LOL) and then just before my husband retired he spent a year in Vietnam ...the year was 1969. He retired, became an attorney in Dublin, GA. and in September of 1996 died of pancreatic cancer. I have always felt that his death was due to contact with agent orange when he was landing on tiny air strips in the mountains and jungles of Vietnam. I understand it took years for agent orange to do it's dirty work. I have never approached the Navy about my beliefs...but I am sure there are similar cases if records were checked.
My main interest now, is to find out more about the time that my husband was a test pilot for the WF-2 and the first voyage. And get dates that are more valid than my memory for my sons and grandson. And to email anyone that was stationed in Rhode Island or was in the VAW-12 squadron at that time. It was a very large squadron... and a great bunch of people were involved with the working of that squadron.

Kenneth C. Carman, 66, of Chittenango, NY passed away at home on Saturday with family by his side.

Born in Canastota, NY, Ken attended Chittenango High School before entering the United States Navy at age 17. Ken owned and operated Ken Carman Sales Corp in Chittenango for 30 years. He was a Committeeperson for the Town of Sullivan and Madison County Republican Committee and a member of the Town of Sullivan Assessment Review Board.

Ken's close friend, Jack Hegarty of Jackman, ME writes: Ken proudly served his nation in the US Navy. He attended the Navy Class "A" Parachute Riggers School in Lakehurst, NJ. Before graduating, he had to pack his own parachute and jump with it. Ken was 17 years old at the time. He was ordered to Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron VAW12 and later VAW33 home ported at the Quonset Point Naval Air Station in RI.

Ken sailed many of the seas in the world while serving onboard different aircraft carriers, the USS Lake Champlain CVS-39, which recovered our nations first astronaut Alan Shepard, the USS Intrepid CVS-11, which is now a memorial in NY City, and the USS WASP CVS-18. Ken was onboard the USS Essex CVS-9 when, for the first time in Naval History, an aircraft carrier was converted from a CVS Anti Submarine Carrier to a CVA Attack Carrier while at sea. All anti sub aircrafts departed the ship and a fighter squadron flew aboard and the task force was deployed on a Top Secret Mission to support the invasion force at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba, 1961.

Recently, Ken was notified that he was eligible for the Navy Expeditionary Medal, the National Defense Medal, and the Good Conduct Medal. Ken's duties involved maintaining and instructing in the use of all the survival equipment onboard. When off duty, Ken could be found in the Squadron Ready Room where he often showed movies to his shipmates. His presence and keen sense of humor had a calming effect on all during tense times on long cruises. Ken will be sadly missed by his shipmates and by all those who knew him.

 “You would get a secret notice in your mail box that you were to be the Duty Spook for the next month. The idea was to try to slip into the squadron area undetected and plant a red tag on some piece of equipment. When it was Jordan's turn he dressed up in flannel shirt and cap and with a tool box approached the sentry around midnight telling him that there had been a report that the phone in Captain Rigg’s office was out of order and that he had come to fix it. The sentry took him to the duty officer and the duty officer got the key and let him in. He put the red tag on Riggs' telephone and left telling the duty officer that the phone was fixed. In the morning Capt. Rigg was not happy.”

Tom E. Lloyd, who was also a mech, used to kid Conard about being an American Indian. Tom told me that Conard had gotten out of the Navy and was a sheriff or deputy somewhere in the Southwest before returning to the Navy. One day/night there was a short scuffle in our compartment on the Forrestal due to some disagreement between Conard and someone else I don't remember. In the blink of an eye the someone else was on the floor with Conard standing over him ready to put the cuffs on or do worse damage if necessary. That convinced me the Sheriff story was true -Herb Thompson

I was skipper of RVAW-120 and wing commander having relieved Joe Pariseau not too long after VAW-12 moved to Norfolk from Quonset Point and just as the E-2 was being introduced to the fleet. It was kinda like when the army was requesting funds for three new Curtiss bi-planes. Calvin Coolidge's response was "Why don't we just buy one and let the aviators take turns flying it." It was an exciting time playing musical chairs with the somewhat primitive black boxes. We wrote a pretty good syllabus for the E-2 and kept sending squadrons to Viet Nam. I was fortunate to have great people to work with: Chuck Berthe, Jack Larison, Dave Layton, Billy Lovett, and my close friend Len Oden who was an illustrious member of the community, being one of the first to become an admiral. Hal Bernsen was one of us and later distinguished himself during Desert Storm and made Rear Admiral. I was also delighted to learn from Walt Miesse that Jim Mulligan was at the last reunion and had been a member of the AEW community early in his career. Lu Hill, the first skipper of VAW 123 died about 3 years ago. He and I flew together. He had 123 aboard the Forrestal when they had that horrendous fire as they were getting ready, to launch their first strike against North Viet Nam. Ted Newark was the first skipper of VAW-122. He died in 2003. While on a mission over the seas near North Viet Nam and climbing through heavy rain he had a double flame out. He was at 24,000 feet so had some time to coax relights on both engines and proceed with his mission. Of such stuff are the AEW airmen made of. I'm sorry I can't take a more active role in the community. I don't get around too well any more. The injuries of that crash you alluded to are catching up on me, I'm afraid. I was shooting touch and gos in an F9F-8 at JTTU in Olathe Kansas when I had a flame-out right after take off at 300 feet. I had just completed War College and was on my way to being XO of an A-4 squadron. Was able to get back to duty and flying after a year recovering Thereafter I was Flag Sec, on COMFAIRJAX staff; then Air Boss on the FDR; then a tour on COMNAVAIRLANT staff then to CO of RVAW-120 and COMCARAEW Wing-12; went from there to being CO of CHIKASKIA (A beat up oiler} which we de-commissioned then got command of USS TOLOVANA over in WESPAC supporting operations off the coast of Viet Nam. She was an equally disgraceful oiler which we called the "Leaky-T"; Final Tour was as CO FAETULANT Retired Aug 31, 1974

Sheldon Larry Corner, a retired U. S. Navy Captain, a long-time Virginia Beach resident, and at one time its former Chief Deputy Treasurer, died Thursday, November 6, 2008, at his home. “Shel,” to all his friends, was b.7/14/1924, in Hazelton, Pennsylvania, the only child of Mary Perry and Edward V. Corner. He spent his childhood in Far Rockaway, on Long Island, New York. He married June Hildreth of Newton, Massachusetts, on August 27, 1949, and she preceded him in death after 51 happy years of marriage. He is now survived by his loving second wife, Nancy; and his children and their families: Steve, Saundra, Rex, Bailey, and Scott; Laurel Anne; and Richard, Kim, Meredith and Augie 

After high school, Sheldon attended the Cooper Union and its Nerken School of Engineering in New York, for a year, and then enlisted in the Navy under the World War II V-5 Officer Training Program and was ordered into Naval Aviation – becoming a designated Naval Aviator in 1944. Over the years, he would fly nearly everything with a propeller – from C-45 Bugsmashers, to Curtiss Helldivers, to AD “Spads”, to E-2 Hawkeyes, and even Navy blimps. And in so doing, he became one of the Navy’s better-known unreconstructed prop guys.

Following a stint as a “plowback” flight instructor, he entered the light attack pipeline and served tours in VA-34 (nee VB-3) at NAS OCEANA, 1946 to 1948, and later in VA-75, then on the west coast. He deployed to the Far East, and also became very well acquainted with the Med over the years.  While a Lieutenant, he attended the University of California and earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Government, as a Magna Cum Laude graduate. Later tours of duty in Jacksonville, Florida, and at NAS Guantanamo Bay with the Fleet Training Group, were followed by orders to graduate school at the Naval War College.  Some years after that, he also received a Masters Degree in Business Administration from Old Dominion University.

Sheldon’s Naval career was decidedly rearranged in 1959 when, after returning to Virginia Beach and during jet transition training, he had to perform a crash landing in Olathe, Kansas. He required several months to recover from serious injuries, but he eventually fought his way back into flight status, and he subsequently served a tour onboard USS FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT as Air Boss.

His return to Virginia Beach – again – after that was enduring.  At NAS NORFOLK he became the first Commander of Air Wing TWENTY, the Atlantic Fleet’s Airborne Early Warning wing, and concurrently the first commanding officer of RVAW-120, the wing’s Fleet Replacement Training Squadron.  He commanded two ships, and he had a major shore command, based in Norfolk but with detachments throughout the eastern U. S., before retiring in 1974 – having served 31 well-traveled years on active duty and earning many awards and unit decorations along the way.

His next claim to fame was as Chief Deputy Treasurer of the City of Virginia Beach for five years, in the late 1970s. Thereafter, he campaigned once for a seat on City Council – not successfully, but he threw a victory party anyway. He and June were members for many years of the oceanfront’s Galilee Episcopal Church, Sheldon having served twice as one of its vestrymen, and also as church treasurer for a time.  He took a keen interest in City affairs, and was an exponent of the restoration of the Virginia Beach Oceanfront Lifeguard Station. He authored an ethics guideline document for use by the city’s governing bodies, and was long active in the Beach’s Clean the Bay Campaign.

Hit an olive tree in Sardinia, just missed a mountain in Sardinia, Diverted to Naples one night and took his crew, armed with .38s in orange flight suits to Bagnoli NATO officers club. It was 1960 or 61, I was a member of VAW-12, the Forrestal's early warning detachment. I was operating the radar in the back seat of one of our old AD5W "Guppys," and we were flying night ops in the Med off the coast of Italy. As we were being recovered it created a fouled deck and all aircraft still aloft were diverted to NAS Naples. I don't remember how we managed it, but we got off the base that night wearing our flight suits. We didn't have a lot, of money between the three of us from the "Guppy," but I do remember we were the biggest hit in Naples that night! The girls just loved us in those orange flight suits! I wouldn't swear to it, but I believe our jg pilot even had his sidearm strapped on. Dem was da good old days. D.A. Tony Ciango AMS2 VAW-12

The Wind in the Chimes: A Father’s Farewell Whisper to His Daughter
By C.C. Clark ISBN: 1-4107-5906-7 Reviewed by Laura Leiva
“The Wind in the Chimes” is a personal story written by author C.C. Clark that depicts her relationship with her father in the final years of his life as he battles Parkinson’s disease. CAPT Charles H. Crabill, Jr.  was a Naval officer and devoted husband and father who receives the news that he has contracted the debilitating disease, Parkinson’s, as this tender, poignant story opens. The author begins to make amends to her father during the last months of his illness, hoping to mend bridges and harsh feelings before it is too late. Vignettes combine the past and the present as C.C. Clark shares the story of her father as a Navy seaman to the elderly father she knows, surrounded by loved ones. This author has done a wonderful job with her first book. Emotional and inspiring, Clark encourages everyone to take a second look at those relationships that have held us back. Her journey toward peace and understanding was very well written and very interesting. Her inclusion of excerpts from her father’s diaries gives the reader a glimpse of the man her father was.

Captain John J. Dittrick Jr., "Jack," 73, died peacefully Veteran's Day, Nov. 11, 2009. His strength, kindness, integrity, sense of humor and uplifting presence will be dearly missed by his family, friends, neighbors and work colleagues. b.5/3/1936 Elizabeth, N.J. son to Dorothy and John Dittrick Sr. Jack grew up to become a distinguished Navy pilot, Navy captain, professor and vice dean, and most dearly, a beloved husband, father, uncle, cousin and friend. A Class of 1958 U.S. Naval Academy graduate, Jack pursued a naval career, while also earning his master's degree and doctorate. He and his wife Carolyn were married 12/29/1962 and in 1964, they moved to Monterey, Calif., where Jack received a master's degree in operations analysis from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School and subsequently taught at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., where their daughter Jill was born in 1968. Jack's naval career spanned 29 years with distinguished responsibilities including deployments as a naval aviator flying the carrier based E-1B Tracer and the E-2 Hawkeye, both Airborne Early Warning Aircraft, aboard the carriers USS Independence, USS Saratoga, USS Shangri La, USS F.D. Roosevelt and the USS America to Southeast Asia and the Mediterranean. He was the officer in charge of the E-1B detachment on the USS Roosevelt and the commanding officer of both VAW-124 on the USS America and RVAW-120 training squadron located in Norfolk. Following that, he served on several staffs with the chief of Naval Operations, CINCLANTFLT and participated in a SECNAV sponsored study examining the roles and capabilities of the U.S. Navy. In spite of earthquakes and having to master the Italian language, Jack's tour as commanding officer of the U.S. Naval Support Activity Base in Naples, Italy, was the most challenging and rewarding tour of his naval career. Jack, Carolyn and Jill returned from Italy in 1986, where Jack then served as the chief of staff at the Safety Center. He retired from the Navy in 1987, and shortly after launched his career as a visiting professor of statistics at The College of William & Mary School of Business. In 1992, Jack became the associate dean for undergraduate programs at the University of Southern California School of Business, where he initiated a mentor program to help link students to real-world experience. He was made vice dean and traveled to numerous countries to bring in foreign students to the business program. He also initiated an annual nationwide case competition held at USC. In June 2001, Jack returned to The College of William & Mary as assistant dean of the School of Business.

Shirley (Miller) Dunning passed away peacefully in her sleep on Oct. 22, 2011 at Masonicare Health Center in Wallingford, CT. Formerly of Jonesport, ME, she had recently resided with her son's family in Cromwell, CT. Shirley was born in Milford, MA on June 26, 1922, the daughter of the late Kenneth W.A. Miller and Fannie A. (Hutchins) Miller. She had many fond memories of her childhood in MA with her two younger brothers and extended family. A move when she was in high school relocated the family to southern Maine where she finished her education, graduating from Deering High School in Portland and Westbrook Junior College. During that time, she met her husband, the late Harvey K. Dunning Sr, a 26 yr. career officer in the US Navy. They enjoyed many years together traveling and moving about the US. Where ever they were stationed, she always found groups to join and ways to volunteer in each new place, giving her time to help out others.

When they retired from the service, their family of 3 settled in the Dunnings' hometown, Jonesport, Maine. In the over 40 years Shirley lived there, she was an active participant in the community, as a member of the Jonesport Ambulance Service, American Legion Auxiliary, Unit 0108, Jonesport Historical Society, Literary Club, co-chairperson of the Jonesport Sesquicentennial Committee, Sawyer Memorial Congregational Church, Jonesport Housing Authority, and her beloved Tuesday Night Club. She also served with the Extension at University of Maine at Machias where she received the Washington County Extension Association Distinguished Volunteer Service Award in 1997, as special recognition for her service to the community. She was a willing volunteer whenever there was a need, whether it was as a secretary for Hand-in-Hand, or stocking the local food pantry. Of all of these, she was most proud of her service to her country as a navy wife.

She is survived by her son, Harvey K. "Sam" Dunning Jr. and his wife, Jean, of Cromwell; her dear grandchildren, Heather Dunning of Queens, NY and her fiancé, Eric Boucher and Jonathan Dunning and his wife, Ahnaf Nur of Wethersfield, CT; her brother, Stuart Miller and his wife, Maggie, of Loveland, CO, a sister-in-law, Margaret Miller of Bridgton, ME; a special niece, Sandy Moffett of Jonesport, ME and many other special nieces and nephews, and great-nieces and nephews.

As I found my mom (Jeanette Faber) already contacted you regarding the passing of my wonderful dad. She told me of his invitation she received. I just personally wanted to thank all of you for serving and protecting our country. My father was very proud of his Navy service. If he were still with us, I am sure he would be there with all of you. I was graciously given the honor, and privilege of keeping his flag. It is proudly displayed along with a letter of gratitude for his service from the White House in my living room for all to see. It will be passed down to my children, and it was with great honor (and sadness) that I received it. I never understood the meaning of our flag so fully and completely until I received one for my father. I just felt compelled to sincerely say thank you for all your sacrifices you all have made to keep our country safe, free, and mighty. With my deepest thanks, Melody A.

He lived around Cleveland. I hitched a ride to Cleveland with him one time in the winter in a TBM. He ran a tank dry over the mountains of PA and laughed about it. I almost went out the hatch, due to his reputation. (I had read the accident report) At one time prior to that trip, he had taken 3 passengers from Quonset, back to Ohio and on the way back to Q he had bailed out over the Mountains in PA. The plane had crashed (good landing) but all 3 crew were killed from massive skull fractures inflicted by practice bombs coming forward from rear bulkhead in radio compartment. Gumber claimed he had told them to bail out.

I am so sorry to have to tell you that my Dad passed away 10/29/2005. He was my best friend, so I guess I have been in denial for a while. He fell in the house while my Mom was helping him to his chair in the family room. He hit his head on the hardwood floor.  He was taking coumadin, so his brain began to bleed. He went through surgery that evening and came out of it well, but I guess he was sick and tired of living his life in the body that he had. He lingered on for nine days. First he got pneumonia, then his body stopped digesting the liquid food they were giving him, then his kidneys began to fail, then he got septic. I feel so bad that I told them to do the operation. I have such a hole in me, I can't stop crying for my loss. I talk about his naval career with my Mom, his wife for 61 years. I am so proud of him. I told him all the time, but not for the Navy. He also taught me to love nature, the animals, and the miracles of growing corn in a circle. He was quite a busy person all his life, even though he looked like he was just reading a book. He was a student of the Civil War until the end. My Dad was one of nine children, 8 boys and 1 girl.  He married and had six children, 5 girls and 1 boy. When he went to the commissary he always bought a lot of toilet paper.  He was a great guy.  He was my Daddy-O

HUFF, COMMANDER MAHLON S., 85, passed away Wednesday, January 23, 2013
A native of Midland, MI, Mahlon was the son of Ferne S. Huff (school teacher) and Edwin G. Huff (school principal). He committed to be an Air Force pilot straight out of high school, but was released from that commitment when World War II ended and there was no longer a need for pilots. He later enlisted in the Army, but was released early from boot camp when he was accepted to the US Naval Academy, graduating in 1950. He was a Navy pilot, veteran of the Korean War, and served on the USS Midway. Mahlon's postgraduate work earned him two more baccalaureate degrees, the last from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. After retiring from the Navy, Mahlon taught JROTC at Valley High School for approximately 15 years, followed by teaching for USC at military bases in North Carolina, New York, Korea, and Japan. 
Survivors include his wife of 60 years, C. June (Spoolstra) Huff; three children, Craig Shepard Huff (Pamela), Kimberly Blackwell (Brad) and Marta Renn (Donald); seven grandchildren, Veronica, Robbie, Matthew, Andrew, Elizabeth, Tristan and Jered; and a great granddaughter, Adelaide

We went on a MED cruise in 1948 from Norfolk on Kearsarge as a part of FAETU and by the time we returned the squadron had been commissioned, located in Quonset Point, with Shinn as CO and Isaman as ops officer

Ensign R. M. Isaman, USNR was designated Naval Aviator #7558 in 1941. Entered active service via the pre-war Aviation Cadet (AVCAD) program. Awarded the Navy Cross during World War II as a dive bomber pilot assigned to Bombing Squadron Three (VB-3) during the critical Battle of Midway in 1942. Following the war accepted a USN commission. Captain Isaman, USN, commanded the aircraft carrier USS MIDWAY (CVA-41) from 1962 to 1963 and his final tour, as a  Rear Admiral, was to command the Naval Air Test Center located at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, MD, from 1971 to 1974

If you're old enough to have served in the Navy or Marine Corps during the Vietnam War particularly if you were a pilot chances are you've heard of the infamous Cubi Point Catapult. Cubi Point Naval Air Station in the Philippines was a place where war-weary Navy and Marine Corps aviators, Marines and Sailors, could let off a little steam after flying combat missions over Vietnam or spending weeks aboard ships on the gun-line on Yankee Station. The Cubi Point Officers' Club, was forever tasked with devising new and challenging ways of keeping the warriors entertained.

 Enter Commander John L. Sullivan and the now famous Cubi Point 'catapult.' The catapult at the Cubi Point Officers' Club came into existence in 1969. The escapades of Navy and Marine pilots at the Cubi Point O'Club are legend warrior stuff. One of these escapades involved ' night cat shots' catapulting a blindfolded squadron mate down 8 or 9 stairs clinging to castored office chairs from a bar upstairs onto the dance floor far below. 

Two catapulted down the Cubi O'Club stairs at the same time were dubbed F-4 night 'cat' shots. Rarely did a pilot make it down the stairs to successfully scoot along the dance floor upright. Most arrived as a crumpled mass of legs and arms. The practice often ended with disastrous results broken bones, severe strains, small concussions, and numerous other injuries that would sometimes ground the experienced combat pilots. But because of the number of injuries, the Admiral in command suggested catapulting occupied chairs down the stairs should be reluctantly done away with.

An extension to the club was in progress giving a construction opportunity for significant change. 'Red Horse' Sullivan's scavengers headed off to the surplus yard, liberated a banged up refueling tank and had metalsmiths convert it into something resembling the fuselage and cockpit of an A-7 Corsair jet fighter. The 'aircraft' was 6 ft long with shoulder harness and belt. It had a ' control ' stick that when pulled back sharply would release a arresting hook, preventing it from plunging through a hole in the O'Club wall then the newly constructed 4 ft. pool of water outside. The projectile's propulsion was provided by pressurized nitrogen tanks hooked up to a pressure manifold. The arrangement was powerful enough to propel the vehicle to 15 mph in the first two feet or an acceleration from zero to 15 m.p.h. in that distance. 

In their efforts to successfully engage the hook with an arresting wire, each pilot had 6 inches of control stick movement to 'play with.' The vehicle was named ' Red Horse One' in honor of the Skipper. A few successful pilots were held in high esteem their names were inscribed in gold letters on the Cubi O'Club 'Wall of Fame'. Reaction time had to be quick because the trap wire was only 14 feet from the nose of the projectile. Since the water in the pool was the only force stopping the vehicle, engineering minds and the Cubi Point Aircraft Repair Team, designed it to enter the water as quickly . . and as deeply as possible. The vehicle was retrieved from the water by a winch connected to a hook eye welded on the rear end of the ' A-7 projectile'. 

The first night the catapult was in operation it attracted a huge crowd. After it was declared safe, Rear Adm. Isaman was the first to ride the projectile. The Admiral manned the cockpit, saluted and was launched. A split second too early, he pulled to drop the tail hook. We all waited a probable quick ' skip and catch ' of the hook. It didn't happen.

Instead, the hook caught the rubber we had attached to the projectile's steel bumper just short of the arresting wire. To the disappointed howl of the junior officers, the hook tore rubber guard off the bumper and caught the wire. Hmmm No wet Admiral. Instead, Isaman became the first pilot to successfully ' trap ' the projectile 

After being presented with a bottle of champagne, Isaman's name was gold enshrined on the 'Wall of Fame.'  Later that night, some forty disgruntled carrier jocks blasted down the catapult before another pilot successfully trapped the projectile.  Word of the Cat quickly spread throughout Southeast Asia. The scenarios even attracted Air Force F-4 pilots from nearby Clark AFB. The Clark jocks all came swaggering in loudly claiming they were equal to the task. Much to the delight of the Navy onlookers none caught the wire.

Enlisted men operated and maintained the catapult during their off time and they were compensated from funds taken in for the operation of the 'Cat.' It cost nothing to ride the 'Cat' providing they successfully caught the wire. However, it cost five dollars if the 'pilot' penetrated the pool. Of the many dignitaries, who attempted to ride the 'Cat', was Navy's Under Secretary John Warner [Virginia's Senator; one of Elizabeth Taylor's husbands] He had heard of the Cubi CAT and requested to ride it. Word spread rapidly, that Secretary Warner was going to try his luck. The O'Club was soon packed shoulder to belly.

Before launch the Secretary was outfitted in white linen coveralls. And embossed on his back were bright red letters 'Red Horse Cat House.'  Amid cheers, the Secretary bravely launched and promptly catapulted through the hole in the wall into the water outside. He was catapulted five more times, but each time the Secretary had to be 'fished' out. To make it easier for the Secretary to catch the trap wire, each time, the Skipper surreptitiously adjusted the bumper plate about an inch aft each time. While Warner never noticed this WE ALL DID!   

After his fifth trip into the pool, Mr. Secretary shouted: "Red Horse! This just cannot be done!" By this time, the bumper mechanism had been adjusted rearward an additional foot from the arresting wire. So it had become an easy arrest for a carrier pilot with trap or two under his belt. Red Horse, in his spotless tropical whites, strapped in to show Mr. Secretary that, indeed, it could be done by a skilled aviator. But without Red Horse's knowledge, prior to his launch, a fun loving [non-career] junior officer kicked the bumper adjustment back to its original and much more difficult position. Red Horse launched and missed. And to John Warner's total delight, the Skipper in splendid whites shot through the hole in O'Club wall, settling ignominiously outside on the pool's bottom.

  The Secretary was so pleased with his experience he wouldn't remove his 'Red Dog' coveralls. And wringing wet, both of them sat down to lunch with their comfortably dry colleagues. Several hours later, still wearing his red lettered white coveralls, the Secretary boarded his aircraft. The 'Cat' and the 'Wall of Fame' are fond memories of men whose ingenuity who's hard work and hard play made the scenario a reality. And at Pensacola's U.S. Navy Air Museum, Cubi O'Club artifacts remain as Fleet legend.

CAPT Jerald C. Lawrence d.2004 VA. Not the Gerald Lawrence in West Virginia 8^th CO VAW-12

Captain J.C. Lawrence was the CO of VAW 12 when I arrived and he was a very colorful man-swore and drank like a sailor! After he left VAW-12 he became CO of one of the CVS’s, I don’t remember which one. There was a story about him at that time that made Life magazine. It seems he and some of the Admiral’s staff members enjoyed a night on the town in Boston when the ship was anchored in Cape Cod Bay. When it was time to return to the ship, the boats stopped running because of heavy seas So JC and his pals requested a Coast Guard cutter that was tied up nearby, and asked to be taken to their ship. When the LT(jg) who was the OD refused, JC and company commandeered the cutter and went out to the carrier. In coming alongside the carrier they collided with it and damaged the cutter. My memories of this incident are rather hazy, but I do remember, it made the news big time, drunk and disorderly, navy big brass, etc. I often wondered what became of him.  Have you ever heard this story and do you know if any one has or remembers the details better than I? I think there are some other stories about JC Lawrence too – Sayles

Story fm the Independence 1961 crew

Capt. J.C. Lawrence, better known as Jesus Christ Lawrence in those days (early l960) He spied an AT reading a book under the wing of an AD4W, sent the Leading Chief down to bring the kid topside. It was a Tech Manual; the kid was troubleshooting the radar. Case dismissed. In April l960, ATC John Fluke and I received a commission as Ensign. We were brought to the CO and he swore us in. It was customary to have a "wetting down" party and invite officers that we had served with, including the CO. I lived in the Enlisted Trailer Park on base and there was a rec room so I set it up, with a fellow Chief as bartender, and we were in business. I purchased several bottles of bourbon, etc, but only one bottle of scotch. My bartender swore that Capt Lawrence drank that entire bottle and, when he left, the only exit was through a room where a bingo game was going and a friend told me later that he bounced off several vertical beams on the way out.

 He was a veteran serving in the U.S. Navy from August 1952 to September 1955. After completing electronics school, he was assigned to Squadron VC-12 based at Quonset Point, Rhode Island where he worked in the electronics shop and flew as radar operator on AD-4 and 5N Skyraiders and returned to civilian life in the fall of 1955.In March of 1960, he began a career at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard as an electrician and soon returned to the electronics world. Albert received training on both torpedo and missile weapons control systems and was promoted to the Combat Systems Office. There, he began as an electronics technician and had several promotions, some of which were Supervisory Engineering technician, Anti-Submarine Warfare Branch Head and Chief Test Engineer-Weapons. In the latter position, he was responsible for administering the complete test program of the weapons suite of both Attack and Ballistic Missile Submarines, and also planned and supervised the conduct of weapons sea trials. Albert retired from civil service in 1985 and in 1991 acquired his "Class A" driver's license and became a commercial driver for several years.
Albert retired in 1996, purchased a "Class A" motor home to enjoy the chance to travel. Deciding that they enjoyed a transient lifestyle, they sold their home in 1998, traded the motor home for a new diesel pusher coach, and continued to travel.
He had many interests and hobbies over the years including hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, boating, water skiing, wood working, carpentry, motorcycling, and golf. Albert was a member of the American Legion, an Endowment Life Member of the National Rifle Association, the Gold Wing Road Raiders Association and founded the seacoast chapter of GWRRA and directed it for over five years.

His PT boat was blown up at Guadalcanal in 1942; he then survived a plane crash during flight training, a midair collision, attacks on the Japanese fleet in 1945, a tour on Rear Admiral Jocko Clark's Carrier Division Four staff in 1949-1950, and a night ditching at sea in the Mediterranean in the 1950s. Through all of that, he managed to retain the delightful sense of humor                                                                                                                            The Horn invited several junior officers to his home in Quonset. He had us sitting around the pool that summer afternoon & called his dog out. This was some kind of shepherd as I recall it, but in any case it was one big fierce looking beast. The Horn called it to his side & commanded that it "Smile" The dog did so, exposing vicious looking great white fangs That was one scary looking beast We were very impressed & The Horn had a good laugh I've tried over the years with every dog I owned to duplicate that trick, but never succeeded- George Markovits

I took him flying in my Comanche the night we had his son down to our flying club to visit and represent the ARTCC, but he never warmed up and wanted to come visit or exchange memories. He did accounting. Then he moved away. We had contacted ARTCC and they sent young Fred who said could his dad come? We said sure, and when I heard where he lived, on the next road over from me, I said I’ll bring him. He said he’d flown in the navy and I said so had I Then I asked him what plane and he said AD5W. Check. What squadron, VAW-11? No 12!

Retired U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Robert E. Porterfield, 76, passed away suddenly at his home in Sun City Center, March 28, 2007. A native of Atlanta, he proudly served his country 21 years as a Naval aviator in both Korea and Vietnam. After a second career with Hampton Roads Energy Co. in Virginia, he relocated to Sun City Center in 1993, where he continued to pursue his avid interest in golf. He soon became involved in numerous local organizations including SCC Emergency Squad, Cops & Computers for the Community, The Computer Club and Villas on the Green HOA. His sense of humor, enthusiastic spirit and tireless efforts for the community he loved will be remembered by many. Survivors include his wife, the former Dorothy Maulding; his daughter, Anne Beckett of Jamestown, Tenn.; his son, Robert E. Porterfield Jr. of Riverview, Fla.; brother, John Porterfield (Mary) of Atlanta and extended family. The family will receive friends Wednesday, April 18, 2007 at 9 a.m. with a memorial service at 10 a.m. at United Methodist Church, 1210 West Dale Webb Blvd., Sun City Center, FL 33573. Inurnment will follow with military honors at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Fla

Bob died very suddenly and unexpectedly Wednesday night, March 28, 2007 -- heart we think.  No warning, no symptoms, feeling and looking absolutely great.  We attended a luncheon at noon that day (where I am so happy to tell you he cheated and ate a large slice of chocolate cake with chocolate icing, swearing he would take two diabetes tablets at bedtime vs. his usual one!), then he went to the Emergency Squad and worked (volunteer) four hours on their computer systems, which he did on a regular and almost daily basis.  He was happy, joking, messing around as usual and then gone right before my eyes.

 He was a registered eye donor; he will be cremated.  We probably won't be able to have a memorial service for him until sometime late the week of April 9.  His cremains will rest in the Florida National Cemetery, Bushnell, FL following a military send-off.  Our nearly 17 years together were the happiest of my life and I know he would say the same -- two hearts, one soul In sorrow   Dorothy Porterfield   813/746-4915

Cdr. Richard Kenneth Reider, USN (retired), age 88 of Austell, Ga formerly of Elizabethtown, PA, died April 20, 2012. Richard joined the United States Navy in 1941. His plan was to see the world, go home, and get a job. But World War II changed his mind. After two years of working on aircraft and searching for German submarines, he returned to the U.S. and entered flight school. He received his Navy gold wings in 1945. He served twenty-six years in the Navy, retiring in 1966. During his career he logged hundreds of aircraft carrier take off and landings as naval aviator. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa at University of Missouri, received a Bachelors of Science from U.S.N. Post Graduate School, and a Master of Arts in Mathematics from Duke University. After retiring from the Navy, he taught advanced math at Westminster School in Atlanta for twenty years and was head of the math department. He and his wife enjoyed traveling the world, seeing seventy-two countries and visiting family and friends. He is survived by the love of his life, Jean Wise Reider; daughter, Carol Paulsen of Virginia; son, Richard E. Reider of Atlanta; sister, Arlene Barnes of Elizabethtown; grandchildren, Kenneth Paulson and Dana Matuszak; and five great-grandchildren.

He could quickly pen your name in caligraphy or sketch out a cartoon or draw a landscape. He could also play music and was never taught how to play. He also read book after book to learn schematics and quickly become knowledgeable about electronics.

  The Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association will induct two former Syracuse University wrestlers into its Hall of Fame on Sunday, March 5, 2006 Ken Hunte (SU Class of 1950) and Ed Rooney ’55 are part of the 2006 EIWA Hall of Fame class that will be honored prior to the final round of the 102nd EIWA Championship. 

A two-time All-American, Rooney placed second and fourth in the NCAA Championship and won two EIWA titles, in addition to recording second and third place finishes at the EIWA. In four EIWA tournaments his two losses were to Olympian Frank Bettucci and to Donald Rumsfeld. His freshman bout with Bettucci made the Top 10 list of EIWA bouts at the 100th anniversary gala. In 1954 Rooney and his Syracuse coach, Joe McDaniel, drove to Nationals in Oklahoma, where Rooney placed second and earned 10th place for his team. They drove on to the AAUs in San Diego, where he placed second and scored the most falls.  That year Rooney was the Outstanding Wrestler at the Wilkes and EIWA tournaments.

Rooney became a Navy carrier pilot aviator on Airborne Early Warning flights before returning to Syracuse to coach and earn his teaching degree. His freshman teams formed the nucleus of the 1963 Syracuse EIWA team champion which placed fourth at NCAA Championship. After earning his teaching degree, he moved to Long Island to become a teacher, coach and life guard.

I was married to William C. Schember, who died on April 10th, 1999. I think some of the proudest and happiest days of his earlier years were his years on various flat tops just before and during the Korean Conflict. I just recently parted with his flight logs and yearbooks from the various ships he served on during his 5 plus years in the Navy and gave them to our son Scott. Bill loved flying as a Radar Operator and spent about 26 years of his later life with American and Pan Am Airlines in various positions. Bill and I spent our 25th wedding anniversary in Charleston SC and visited Patriots Point where the Yorktown is berthed He had taken me to so many ships during the years that I told him, "You go ahead and have fun I will visit the gift shop and then sit and wait for you on the dock” I found a book in the shop about Corsairs which I knew he would like I went back and sat on the dock looking through the book Lo and behold, I looked up and there was Bill on the flight deck with his head in one of the engines. I laughed as I knew he was in his element and reliving experiences from the past He loved the book that I bought him and looked at it over the years I don't readily have his service records available but I think he was in the Navy from '46-51 Bill was b.1928 at Queens County, New York and lived on Long Island, New York until 1990 when we retired to Wilmington, NC I know he belonged to a Navy Club that helped bring the Intrepid to New York Harbor

John Shenk '54 passed away on Tues., May 4.  He had been in increasingly-failing health this past winter after being paralyzed from the waist down for years following a surgical procedure; Ruth  

 Assigned to VF(AW)-4 in July 1956, cruised on the Tarawa, Leyte, and Valley Forge. Was one of the 26 pilots from 4, some of us flying Banshees at the time, who because of plenty of sea time in ADs, were transferred to become refugees in June ‘68 at 12 because of the additional mission given to 12. Was on the beach for 3 weeks with some pretty intensive flying at 12 before going to sea on the Valley in Bob Bollenbacher’s detachment in July ’58; Since the detachment was on the beach after flying off the damaged ship in January ’59, I remained as a palace guard until my RAD in April 1959. Had over 160 carrier landings, 1/3 at night, and about 900 AD hours. I flew in the ready reserves at NAS, Glenview while in grad school until summer ’62, and was in the same squadron and became friends with Don Rumsfeld. We stayed in touch until about ’69, also kept in touch with Bob Bollenbacher until the same time.  He got out around ‘69 with 28 years and we lost touch until ’91 just after his wife Betty died. We stayed closely in touch, visiting each other in our homes, until his death about 12 years later.  He lived in Toledo, and I, in eastern PA. Last talked to him on the phone the day he went into a coma. Bob was the most outstanding senior officer I knew during my time in the navy. I was discharged from the reserves as an aviator in ’67 because the Geneva Convention prohibited line officers who were ordained. In 1968 I enlisted in the Chaplain Corps with the intension of finishing at least 20 years in the ready reserves. Had the privilege of starting as a brand new jg again; At least I had my old jg bars. I was paralyzed in March ’71, but had a benevolent CO who told me to forget to show up for my annual physical. I kept drilling in a wheelchair. I got selected in ’62 for LCDR while not even in the secondary zone so my naval career came to an end when I went for my physical. The army reserve offered me a billet, but foolishly (with hindsight) the blue and gold coursed thru my veins and I turned down an opportunity I should have taken and perhaps had an opportunity to finish the additional 9 years I needed.

As a young ensign, Shroyer had been one of the pilots airborne in a TBM off the Gambier Bay which was sunk in the Taffy 3 episode in Leyte Gulf. He had ditched when out of gas.

Radioman Louis Vilmer Jr of GAMBIER BAY's Composite Squadron VC-10, "...Ensign Shroyer, John Britt, and myself were among the first to be launched when the order was given to clear the flight deck When Ensign Shroyer made his first pass at a Japanese ship, he fired rockets and 50 caliber machine guns. Gunner Britt also fired his 50 caliber gun, from the ball turret. When we broke through the clouds we were extremely low and did not have enough power to pull up and away...we were finally able to pull away and gain altitude. Ensign Shroyer told me over the intercom that he had been unable to open the bomb bay doors with the control in the cockpit and instructed me to try the one in the radioman's compartment. It worked. Shroyer chose the Tone Class cruiser and began his run firing his 50 calibers. I opened the bomb bay doors when instructed. When the bombs cleared the bay, Shroyer was able to close the doors with his control. Britt began firing his turret gun as we pulled up and away I immediately turned to the notch window under the plane's tail to observe the hits. The bombs did not hit the cruiser, HIJMS Chikuma; they hit the water just a few feet behind it and went off as depth charges. Planes following us reported that the ship stopped dead in the water..."

During Desert Shield/Desert Storm, Admiral Summers and his staff planned the recall of Naval Reserves to augment and facilitate the logistics pipeline through Europe and the Mediterranean and into the theater of operations. He and his staff made a series of visits to sites ranging from Northern Norway to the Red Sea to establish requirements, plans for sites and personnel requirements, and, as operations progressed, to assess results. Following the Gulf War, he and his staff developed and proposed to Commander in Chief U.S. Naval Forces Europe and the Innovative Naval Reserve Concepts Task Force a new organization of Naval reserve logistics, to better respond to the Navy's logistics support requirements in the post Cold War era. This resulted in the creation of new Naval Reserve Logistics organizations, which have been employed in many subsequent operations including Iraq and Afghanistan.
As a civilian, Admiral Summers was an active businessman in Roanoke. He was General Agent for The John Hancock Companies and a member of the Million Dollar Round Table. His civic duties include chairmanship of the YMCA, United Way, and Multiple Sclerosis Fund drives.

It is with regret that I tell you my long time friend and comrade, Tom Taylor died in Orlando Florida 12/27/2007. He became ill quite suddenly and only lasted a few weeks. He was a mainstay of Detachment 34 of VAW 12 aboard the USS Lake Champlain. He made the 38,000 landing aboard the "Champ". We were aboard the Champ when she was the last straight deck carrier in active service. Of interest is that Tom's younger brother Richard was a gunship pilot in Vietnam. He now lives in West Virginia where Tom also lived for years after his retirement from the Navy. Tom loved golf and when I last saw him in July he looked great and was on top of his game, enjoying life and "happy as a clam at high tide."  Donald Lundberg

Known by all for his loyalty, kindness and integrity, Commander Thomas Paul Taylor, 72, of Winter Park, Fla., passed away on Thursday, Dec. 27, 2007, after a brief illness. Born on Oct. 6, 1935 at Newlyn, W.Va., he was the son of Marguerite Thomas Taylor of Greenville, S.C. and the late Willis Bryant Taylor. Tom graduated from Gainesville High School in Florida and attended Jacksonville University where he played basketball. He later received degrees from the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, Calif. During is 20 year naval career, Commander Taylor served in Vietnam as an aircraft carrier pilot, was Operations Officer of the U.S. Naval Academy and was the Navy’s Project Officer for the bicentennial in 1976 on the USS Forrestal. Tom was honored to facilitate several presidential visits for presidents Nixon and Ford and numerous other dignitaries. After retiring in 1976 he served as Vice President of Sales for Petroleum Products, a large oil distributor in Charleston, W.Va. His winning personality and technical expertise rendered him an invaluable asset to both the Coal Association and the Oil Marketing Association on West Virginia. He was known as the leading industrial salesman in the southern West Virginia coalfields and served on several national councils for the various oil companies. He served as the Chairman of a Jobber Council with Shell Oil Company. As an avid golfer, Mr. Taylor helped arrange many tournaments for charity and trade associations. A sister, Elizabeth Ann Lindberg preceded him in death. In addition to his mother he is survived by a son, Thomas P. Taylor, Jr. of Charleston, S.C.; daughter, Jennifer Sterling of Greenville, S.C.; his brother, Richard P. Taylor of Oak Hill, W.Va., and his fiancée, Ann Anderson and her family of Winter Park, Fla. Four grandchildren, many aunts, uncles and cousins also survive.

Father: John Francis Uncles was born in Chillicothe, MO, and his family moved to Kansas City, MO, when he was six. He was educated at St. Vincent's Parochial School and De La Salle Academy, graduating with special honors in 1916. He also received the Bishop's Medal for finishing with first honors in the Literary-Scientific Course.

In May 1917, he enlisted as a Private in the Missouri National Guard, in the Second Missouri Field Artillery. In May 1918, Uncles was assigned to the unit which was federalized as Battery D, 129th Field Artillery, and he served in France under Battery Commander Harry S. Truman. In France, his unit participated in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive (also called the Battle of the Argonne Forest); in the Battle of Saint-Mihiel; and in other actions. His regiment was twice cited for bravery.

Uncles' record attracted the attention of the officers in his unit and, immediately after the Argonne Forest Battle he was called before the division's commanding general. He was informed that he and five others had been selected to take an examination for possible admission to the U.S. Military Academy. Uncles passed the examination and returned to the U.S. where he entered West Point on 17 November 1918. Upon his graduation with the class of 1922, he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant of Field Artillery.

Uncles graduated from the Field Artillery Officer Course in ‘27; he was also promoted to First Lieutenant on 19 March of that year. During the years 1930-34, Uncles was a Philosophy instructor at West Point. He served with the 11th Field Artillery Regiment in Hawaii from 1934-37 and, on 1 August 1935, was promoted to Captain. He graduated from the Command & General Staff College in 1938 and was assigned as an Instructor in the Department of Tactics & Communications at the Field Artillery School at Fort Sill, OK. He served in that assignment until 1940 and was promoted to Major on 1 July.

Uncles served as Assistant Personnel Officer, G-1, in the office of the Chief of Field Artillery from 1940-42. He was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel on 1 January 1942. Uncles was assigned as Assistant Personnel Officer, G-1, at Headquarters, Army Ground Forces in '42; he also received a promotion to Colonel on 1 July.

In 1943, Uncles was assigned to the staff of the Field Artillery School at Fort Sill and later that year he attended the New Division Officers Course, also at Fort Sill. At the end of 1943, he was assigned as commander of the 404th Field Artillery Group. On 24 August 1944, Uncles received the single star of a Brigadier General (temporary) and became commander of the 34th Field Artillery Brigade, which he led in combat throughout France, Belgium and Holland until the end of WWII.

In 1945, Uncles commanded the 32nd Field Artillery Brigade in Germany, serving until 1946. He then served as Chief of Field Artillery in the Army's Career Management Branch until 1948. Uncles became Chief of Staff of U.S. Constabulary in Europe, serving until 1950, when he was named Commander of the 4th Infantry Division Artillery.

Uncles was Commander of Seventh Army Artillery from 1951 to 1952, after which he was assigned to the staff of the Army's Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics, G-4, as Deputy Assistant Chief of Staff for Research and Development. He also received a promotion to Major General in 1952. Uncles served as the Army's Chief of Research & Development from 1953-54.

In 1954, Uncles was appointed Chief of Staff for U.S. Army, Europe, and served in this assignment until 1956. Uncles was promoted to Lieutenant General in 1956 and assigned as Commander of VII Corps. He served in that assignment until his retirement from active duty in 1958.

Susanne Deutsch was b.5/25/1928, in Vienna, Austria, to Josef and Gertrude Deutsch, who doted lovingly on their only child. She lived a long life filled with many experiences of love, joy, and sorrow. She leaves her husband of thirty two years, Ted Van Dyne, daughter Valerie, three step-children: Kevin, Cheryl, and Keith, several grandchildren and great grandchildren, and many close friends.
Her childhood in wartime Europe would impact the rest of her life. At ten years old, her mother saved her by placing her aboard the train Kindertransport, which took her out of Nazi occupied territory. Her mother and grandmother were subsequently lost to the horrors of Auschwitz. After a long journey across Europe, she made it safely to Britain and to her father. She then attended a boarding school in Wales, Mansfield College.
Sue was married twice. Her first marriage to Sam Fine bought her three beloved children, Geoffrey, Valerie, and Larry. Sue faced the tragedy of losing her sons, Larry and Geoffrey, at early ages. Her daughter, Valerie Fine Klaassen, is married and lives in the Washington, DC, area. Sue?s second marriage to Ted Van Dyne brought her three step-children. Sue and Ted relocated several times, and settled in beautiful coastal North Carolina for their retirement years, buying a cottage on Harkers Island. Taking the ferry out to Cape Lookout was one of Sue?s favorite pastimes.

On one flight Bob Vankluyve told me that he was going to fake not being able to get his tail hook down so he would be sent to shore. He wanted some one to know, but I was not to tell.  After 2 or 3 passes over the carrier with his hook up he was sent to Algiers. He was back on board in a couple of days. -Womack

It is with a heavy heart that I pass sad news about John (Spineripper) Waples from his brother Bill. John was killed in a single car accident last night (March 14, 2007) on his farm in Pulaski, TN. He will be cremated and his ashes will be spread on a hill on his property. Capt John M. Waples was a superlative Naval Aviator and a true Attack Pilot. He began his Naval Aviation career in Spads, transitioned to the Skyhawk, commanded an A-7 squadron, an Airwing on the Ranger, and fleet oiler. He was known for his direct approach to problem solving, with near God like clarity and reasoning. John was an inspiration to the JO's, was highly respected by his contemporaries and known up the chain of command as forthright, dependable and aggressive. Spineripper was a true warrior. He would take the air battle to the enemy, no target was too difficult, no threat too great.  He was my wingman in May, 1967 during the first USN attack on a NVN Mig base, Kep, and rolled up a pair of MiG-17s on the runway during the raid. Two months later in the middle of the strike group, he called bandits at Ironhand six-o’clock, alerting the Gators, and in the ensuing fight it was F-8’s - 3, Migs – 0. John was born and bred to fight. He would steam and stew in ops monitoring any strike he was not on, suited up, ready to launch.  He was the original shock and awe combat leader. Waples was one of the greats of Naval Aviation. He had over 1300 carrier landings, over 400 at night, all the hard way, and a bunch of combat missions. I'm sure there are many Waples fans out there who can weigh in with TINS tales about the Spineripper. May he rest in peace -Kit Sanders

All the information included on your site was correct up to a couple years ago when Lew was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, which for 3 years had been incorrectly diagnosed as COPD. His HMO never took an X-ray. Lew entered service as an airman, flew as tail gunner or navigator, went by the nicknames "L.H." or "Buster" or simply "Lew". He was 5'10", had black hair, served his first enlistment beginning November 1947.  Upon re-enlistment he served as ship’s company for 3-4 years as an electronics tech aboard the USS Mindoro CVE-120 where he was eventually part of a skeleton crew who took her into 7 months of mothballing in Boston, where he probably had his heaviest encounter with asbestos, the cause of his lung cancer. His final and proudest duty was aboard the USS Intrepid CV-11 prior to her conversion to CVA-11 when she toured the Mediterranean. Lew was discharged November 1956 at Quonset Point, RI. Lew was a joker and liked a good time.

His best friends were "Stretch," Paul Smith, and Leland "Bull" Ellis, still living. Lew passed quietly on August 24, 2011 from his lung cancer and heart failure due to atrial fibrillation at home with his wife, Marjory, and daughter, Donna, beside him. He is from Chickasha, OK, went to the University of Oklahoma, graduating in 1960 in Electrical Engineering. He requested cremation and was inurned on November 2, 2011 in the Columbarium at Arlington National Cemetery, his flag ceremony snappy with class as only the Navy does it, eight Naval enlistees serving as honor guard. I am his devoted wife of 32 fun and silly, loving years, together 35, Marjory (Marj) Watson, 31 Orchid Grove Pl, Conroe, TX 77385, marjmacwat@gmail.com

His education included a bachelor of science degree from Western Illinois University in 1942; a master of science degree in electrical engineering from MIT in 1949; and coursework at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School in 1950. He had retired from the U.S. Navy, having served during World War II and in combat tours during the Korean War. As a Naval aviator, he was the recipient of many awards and decorations which included the Navy Cross, Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal. In addition, his carrier air groups were awarded the Presidential Unit Citation and the Navy Commendation Medal. He was one of the first licensed helicopter pilots in the United States and pioneered various aspects of the new science of electronic naval warfare. Following his military service, he became vice president of Loral Corporation and was in charge of military electronic warfare. He later founded and served as president of Weart Associates and had responsibility for directing and managing its operations in providing consulting services in technical areas, management, marketing to industrial and government activities with emphasis on anti-submarine warfare, electronic warfare/countermeasures and naval warfare. A devoted husband, father and grandfather, he is survived by his wife, Patricia O'Harra Weart; a daughter, Elizabeth J. Pidd of Charlotte, N.C.; two sons, Richard R.
