Washington, D.C., Newport chapters win Spirit Award

One of the highlights of the April Navy Supply Corps Foundation Board of Directors meeting was the announcement of the Spirit Award winners. In October 2012, the board approved the award to recognize the Chapters who added the most new members to the USNSCF master mailing list during the six month period from November 2012 through April 2013. Foundation Chairman CAPT(Ret.) John Kizer was pleased to recognize the Washington, D.C. Chapter as the winner in the Large category and the Newport Chapter in the All Other category.

CAPT (Ret.) John Kizer (2nd from left) and RADM (Ret.) Linda Bird (2nd from right) congratulate Newport Chapter outgoing President CAPT Dana Weiner, right, and incoming President CAPT Mark Pimpo, on their chapter’s achievement in winning the Spirit Award in the All Other Chapters category.

The Washington Chapter will receive $2,500 and Newport $1,500 to host an event of their choosing within the Community Values and Traditions guidelines. In addition the Board voted to recognize the tremendous efforts of three other chapters, Tampa Bay, Great Salt Lake, and Sigonella, by awarding them $500 each for a similar event of their choosing. This overall effort added almost 600 names to the master mailing list. While this is a significant step in the right direc-tion, there is still more work to be done to identify and include all active, reserve, retired and former Supply Corps officers on the Foundation’s master mailing list. Congratulations to the Chapter winners and a special thank you to each Chapter president and all the members who sup-ported this effort.

Greetings from the ChairmanHow to win a scholarship

CAPT John Kizer, SC, USN (Ret.)

The next Board and Presidents meeting will be held Sept. 27 in Chicago.

This is my favorite issue of The Oakleaf because we get to honor the children, grandchildren and spouses who have worked so hard and qualified for one of our scholarships. To all who applied, you can be proud of your accomplishments and each of you is a winner! If not selected, do not give up...keep working hard and apply next year. This year, we will award $250,500 in scholarships. Every year many of our scholarship applicants wait until the last minute to submit their application and as a result they may not be eligible. This year was no different...we received 203 applications, but only 171 were acceptable. Missing es-says and transcripts were the most common problem. Also, we continue to receive requests to accept late applications. As Jack Evans stated in his article in the last Oakleaf, we will not accept late submittals...it isn’t fair to those who comply with the requirements. Parents, grandparents, guardians...encourage your children and grandchildren to complete this important application on time and completely... it can have a lifelong positive impact if they are successful! The Board of Directors reviewed our budget for this year and the next four at our meeting in Newport in April. Thanks to those who have continued to donate faithfully throughout the years...and a special thanks to our volunteer Investment Advisory Committee for being such great stewards of our portfolio. As of May 9, 2013, it was worth over $5.92M, a 14.84% increase in the last year!

The OakleafUSS Hornet Museum has Supply Corps captain at the helm If you were Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and you wanted to host a party for all your employees after Facebook went public, where would you go? With a world of places to choose from, you would go aboard the USS Hornet Mu-seum in San Francisco Bay. With its spectacular views of the San Francisco skyline and the Bay Bridge, the USS Hornet (CVS-12) has been called “the San Francisco Bay Area’s most unique and unforgettable event venue,” and at the helm is Supply Corps CAPT Randall Ramian. Commissioned in 1943, USS Hornet (CV-12) is one of the most decorated ships of World War II, having earned nine battle stars for action in the Pacific. Her career culminated with the flawless recoveries of the Apollo 11 and 12 lunar missions in the Pacific in 1969. Since 1998 this historic ship has served as a floating museum at the former Alameda Naval Air Station, 20 minutes from San Francisco. Ramian has served as CEO of the USS Hornet Museum since 2009, although his involvement in the museum extends back to its founding, when he became an early plankowner. Today he heads a staff of 35 and oversees more than 300 volunteers at the museum. “We couldn’t do it without our volunteers,” he says. Ramian is also CO of the reserve unit that supports Fleet Logistics Center HQ, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Located in San Francisco Bay, USS Hornet is uniquely posi-tioned to welcome daily visitors (750,000 have visited since its founding) and to serve as a venue for events for up to 3,000 people at a time. USS Hornet has restored and opened for the public all the important “carrier operations” spaces, including the flight deck, engine room, bridge, navigational center and more. There are over a dozen aircraft on display including a WWII Grumman TBM Avenger Torpedo - Bomber and a Grumman F-14 Tomcat Jet. Numerous educational programs teach naval history, sci-ence, and technology. And the museum is home to the largest collection of Apollo mission artifacts on the West Coast. One of Ramian’s challenges is increasing the number of people who visit the museum. While they currently host 70,000 visitors a year, he knows there is much room to grow. Because of their ship’s out of the way location on Pier 3, “people don’t know we are here,” he says, adding that “our number one job is outreach,” which they do with a wide variety of program-ming options aboard the ship.

Ramian is not the only Supply Corps officer involved in supporting the USS Hornet. Three other Supply Corps captains have played significant roles since the creation of the museum, including retired CAPT Jerry Lutz, who was the first CEO of the Hornet museum and was “instrumental in saving the ship,” according to Ramian. In addition, retired CAPT Kurt Libby, who was CO of Fleet and Industrial Supply Center Oakland in 1998, and retired Supply Corps CAPT Glenn Gabel, former head of the NSC Oakland Headquarter reserve detachment, currently serve on the USS Hornet Board. The USS Hornet Museum is located at 707 W. Hornet Ave., Pier 3 in Alameda. For more information go to www.uss-hornet.org.

Supply Corps CAPT Randall Ramian serves as Chief Executive Officer of the USS Hornet Museum.

Book cornerBicentennial of 1812 celebrated in history LCDR Stephen D. Murphy, SC, USN (Ret) sent along the following reading suggestions for members. “If you haven’t noticed, we’re continuing to celebrate the bicentennial of the War of 1812, which lasted until 1815. Ask any American - including many Naval officers - and they’ll be hard-pressed to tell you what this war was even about, let alone any of the specifics. Historian George C. Daughan has penned a masterpiece with 1812: The Navy’s War, which brings so many aspects of American and world history to light in a manner that is as engaging as any great novel. The scope of the book like the events themselves is far-reaching and includes accounts of sea battles with astonishing detail, political wrangling in Washington,

and the almost forgotten (by Americans!) invasion of Canada. Another and more focused work is Walter Lord’s vener-able The Dawn’s Early Light (first published in 1972) which deals with the events leading up to and immediately follow-ing the 1814 British Naval invasion and sacking of Wash-ington, D.C., and subsequent defeat at Baltimore. For those who have lived or served in the D.C. area this book will be especially engaging as it deals with places (and even build-ings and forts) that many of us are already familiar with, or will want to visit. A slightly “lighter” read than Daughan’s book but solid history nonetheless, by the famous author of A Night to Remember and other magnificent works.”

“Please raise your right hand and repeat after me: I, (state your name), ... do solemnly swear that I will sup-port and defend the Constitution of the United States....” I was administering the oath of office last December 15 to Army ROTC Cadet Heather Bill, granddaugh-ter of the late CDR (Ret.) Rick Foley, SC, USN. Heather, a 2008-2009 Foundation scholarship winner, had completed her studies at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va., and was being com-missioned as a second lieutenant in the Army Nurse Corps. Rick and I had served together three times during the first nine years of our active service – first as officer students at the Navy Supply Corps School in Athens; second, after sea duty, as instructors back at Athens, where we lived nearby in base quarters and where our respective first children were born; and then, after foreign shore duty, as students in Boston, where we earned our Harvard MBA degrees and

where our respective second children were born at Chelsea Naval Hospital. Rick and I never again served together but did see each other at times. I always read “In Memoriam” in The Oakleaf and was saddened to learn about Rick’s passing in the November 2012 is-sue. I immediately looked up his obituary on the Foundation’s website ... and was disappointed to see that his funeral had been held at Arlington a few days before. Fortunately, the obit listed an e-mail ad-dress for Rick’s daughter, Christa, so I sent her my condolences. Christa quickly responded and also put me in touch with her mother, Jackie Foley (who remained good friends with Rick after their 1989 divorce). Then Christa sur-prised me by asking if I would commission her daughter, Heather, soon to graduate from JMU. Despite being in poor health, Rick had planned to be there in uniform to commission Heather (although he no longer had a uniform, he had arranged

with Naval Academy contacts to borrow one of the right size). Christa told me that the timing of my contact with her was perfect since they had wanted the com-missioning to be performed by someone “special” who had known and served with her father, but they had about given up. Naturally, I agreed to do it.

Scholarship ProfileGrace Goeks looks for challenge in academic and extra curricular activities Grace Goeks loves the outdoors. Recently she was one of a group of six women to spend 45 days alternately paddling and portaging their canoes more than 700 miles on the Kazan River through the Canadian wilderness. The trip was sponsored by her local YMCA

camp and Goeks says, “It was the most challenging and the most rewarding - I loved it!” It took discipline, planning and leadership, qualities that continue to serve this Navy Supply Corps Scholar-ship winner in good stead as she moves on to navigate her way through college. Goeks, the daughter of retired CAPT Greg and Debra Goeks, grew up in Wis-consin, graduating last year from Cedar-burg High School with a 4.1 average and a score of 800 on her verbal SAT. When it

came time to decide on a college, she had a pretty good idea of what she wanted. “I was searching for a small liberal arts school in an outdoorsy location, with lots of academic and extra curricular opportunities, a strong study abroad program and a diverse student body.” Goeks found what she was looking for in Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, where she is now a freshman. In addition to her love of expedi-tionary wilderness tripping, Goeks is an accomplished swimmer who swam varsity in high school, specializing in long distance freestyle. She was also active in the drama club, where she worked her way up backstage to a position of student technical director. Attending a private university meant that financial assistance was essential and she is grateful for the Foundation’s support. “My dad suggested that I apply for a Navy Supply Corps Foundation Scholarship and I was really thrilled when I learned that I got it,” she says. “Without this scholarship it would be a lot more challenging.” Goeks, who hopes

Lifetime Achievement awarded to Board Chair CAPT (Ret.) John Kizer Foundation Board Chairman CAPT John L. Kizer, SC, USN (Ret.) was recently awarded the Navy Supply Corps Lifetime Achievement Award at the Washington, D.C. Chapter Birthday Ball. Established in 2004, the Lifetime Achievement Award recog-nizes a special category of Supply Corps officers whose contribu-tions have made a lasting impact on a wide cross-section of the Supply Corps for a sustained period of time. CAPT Kizer reported to Officer Candidate School, Newport, R.I., in 1964 and after graduating from Navy Supply Corps School, Athens, Ga., he reported to COMSERVFORSIXTHFLT, home ported in Naples, Italy. When he retired he was serving as Vice Commander, Navy Accounting and Finance Center/Deputy Assistant Comptroller of the Navy for Financial Systems. Kizer was active in many volunteer activities prior to his 1988 retirement and continues to serve in numerous organizations in San Diego in addition to his work with the Foundation. In announcing the award, RADM Mark Heinrich, Chief of Sup-ply Corps, called Kizer’s work with the Foundation “extraordinary,

as he has helped double the corpus since his involvement. His support of the Supply Corps is boundless.”

The commissioning ceremony was short but moving – the first I was involved in since my commissioning more than 50 years ago. In his remarks, the Army ROTC bat-talion commander praised Heather’s outstanding cadet and college performance. Each of the four cadets was commissioned separately. As Heather’s family—includ-ing her grandmother, Jackie—watched from the audience, I administered the oath of office to Heather. Then her mother, Christa, and sister, Melissa, came up and pinned on her officer rank insignia, after which she received her first salute from her uncle, Michael, formerly in the Army. A proud occasion for all! I was deeply honored to be given the opportunity to com-mission Rick’s granddaughter on his behalf and to welcome such a dedicated, motivated, exceptional young lady into active military service.

Chapter ProfileNew chapter spans Connecticut, western Massachusetts The number of Foundation Chapters continues to grow and a recent welcome addition was the group in Groton/New London, Conn. CDR Greg Booth was instrumental in pulling the chapter to-gether in September 2012, and he cur-rently serves as Chapter President. The Chapter covers the entire state of Connecticut and into western Massa-chusetts. With a handful of reservists and retirees, the 36 members of the chapter are largely junior officers stationed aboard one of the 17 submarines homeported there or ashore at the Defense Contract-ing Management Agency Hartford or Sub Base New London. Although all their members are currently men, Booth knows that will change as graduates of the first two sub classes to include women supply officers take their places on the boats. Booth recalls his early tours as a submarine supply officer and those memories inform how he approaches his assignment now. “I can remember being overwhelmed with sub duty,” he recalls, “and I want these officers to real-ize there is life outside the submarine.” He adds, “we want them to know they are not alone. Yes, they may be the only Suppo in their wardroom, but there is a whole network of their peers outside to help.” Booth calls these relationships “a lifeline,” encouraging junior officers to “not be afraid to use it.” The Chapter has sponsored a num-ber of events, including hosting a recent

VIP luncheon with the Chief of Supply Corps, RADM Mark Heinrich. The group also holds after work gatherings to help members network, especially the supply officers going through Submarine School before they get to their boats. They make the most of their geographic location by piggybacking with the Newport Chapter to support the Supply Corps ball and other fundraising activities. The biggest challenge they face, Booth says, is the jam packed schedule of most members, who are often either underway or at

training, making it difficult to get ev-eryone together. Booth has been involved in Chapters wherever he has been stationed, and he finds them to be “a great networking opportunity, a chance for professional, social and educational development.” In addition to Booth, chapter officers include Vice President LCDR Brett Sand-man, Treasurer LCDR Rick Rodriguez and Secretary ENS Mike Rieker.

The OakleafEstate Planning: using 529 plans can reduce federal estate taxesBy RADM (Ret.) Tom Hill, Foundation Development Chair 529 plans provide an interesting, valuable, yet under utilized method of dramatically reducing the federal estate tax for high net worth clients. Current law (2013) allows the gifting of up to $14,000 per year ($28,000 for married couples making a proper election) into a 529 plan, and no gift tax will be imposed for that year. Donors can “front load” their gifting over a five year period. For example, for a married couple filing jointly, this works out to $140,000 removed from their taxable estate. The assets are still owned by and therefore controlled by the donor; but by filing form 709, the gift is considered to be complete, even though the beneficiary (usually a grandchild) does not yet have the money. I have not done an exhaustive search of which financial institutions offer this compelling solution to clients seeking to take advantage of this tax law with something as secure as a CD. I do know the College Savings Bank out of Princeton, N.J., is one financial institution that does. CDs currently are not paying that much, but many clients want something that normally does not lose principle. The College Savings Bank in Princeton is a member of FDIC, so all deposits are guar-anteed up to $250,000 under the current law. This article is in no way an endorsement or solicitation of this bank. Neither I and to my knowledge no member of your Foundation has any affiliation with the College Savings Bank. This is merely an estate planning idea for you to consider further if it meets your estate objectives. Please note there are many states that offer attractive 529 plans that you may want to consider along with this idea. My state of Indiana, for example, offers a 20% tax credit for 529 contributions in any given year up to $5,000. Consider these points: Many potential donors with estate tax issues are also grandparents. They often desire to help their grandchildren

with college costs, but are unwilling to take any principle risk with their money. Often they love CDs. College Savings Bank CDs are FDIC insured (for accounts held in the same right and capacity). When the assets are still in the name of a grandparent, they are not included in the FAFSA calculation (not the case with parents gifting).

This is an elegant method of lega-cy planning since three generations may be helped with one action. The grandparents can potentially save a lot of money in estate tax, the parents have the burden of paying for college reduced enormously, and the grand-

children get to attend college and avoid borrowing to do so. Grandparents can also ask their CPA about the Generation Skipping Gift Exclusion that may entice them to move money to 529s for their grandchildren. Grandparents and parents should be able to support the Navy Supply Corps Foundation or their other favorite chari-ties in a more robust manner due to actions like this.RADM Thomas J. Hill, SC, USN, (Ret.) retired from the Naval Reserve in 2002 and has been a Financial Advisor for over 20 years.

CAPT Theodore S. Stern, SC, USN (Ret,) passed away on January 18, 2013, at the age of 100. Stern, a Navy Supply Corps school Distinguished Alumnus, graduated in 1934 from Johns Hopkins University, where he swam on the 1932 U.S. Olympic team. He entered the Naval Reserve in 1940 as an apprentice seaman and was commissioned in July 1941. Stern served in the Pacific theater during World War II and transferred to the regular Navy and the Supply Corps in 1947. Following his retirement in 1968, he began a second career as the President of the College of Charleston, where he was credited with transforming the college from a small private school into a nationally recognized institution of higher learn-ing. Stern also served as the first president of the board for the Spoleto Festival USA, guiding Spoleto through its early years to become one of the nation’s premier arts festivals. Mr. Paul M. Wythes, a Distinguished Alumnus of the Navy Supply Corps School and Gold Level member of the Foundation’s 21st Century Club, passed away October 30, 2012. Wythes was chairman and founder of one of Silicon Valley’s first venture capital firms, Sutter Hill Ventures, which provided equity capital to young technology companies throughout the United States. A 1955 graduate of Princeton University, Wythes at-tended Navy Supply Corps School in Athens, Ga., and

served as a Supply Officer, primarily in support of the Navy’s nuclear weapons program. In 1959, after leaving the Navy, he earned a Master of Business Administration degree from Stanford University.

Navy Supply Corps SchoolNSCS students find opportunities for networking in NewportBy LT Reid Morrow, SC, USN, Navy Supply Corps School Public Affairs Officer

ENS W.B. Ellis the Bulldawg, located in Royar Square, was donated to the city of Athens by NSCS Newport in celebration of 57 years of support.

For many Supply Corps officers, the Navy Supply Corps School’s (NSCS) move from Athens, Ga., to Newport, R.I., was bittersweet – the sadness of leaving our home of 57 years contrasted with the promise of a state of the art home rife with networking opportunities. Nestled among the Navy’s finest training commands, NSCS Newport shares an island with U.S. Naval War College, Surface Warfare Officers School,

Naval Justice School, Officer Training Command, Senior Enlisted Academy, Naval Academy Preparatory School, and Command Leadership School. Our facilities at NSCS are as technologically advanced as our Fleet’s newest ships, and our mission is to ‘Provide Students with the Personal and Professional Foun-dations for Success’. The vast majority of officers commis-sioned into the Supply Corps, 74 percent, come through Officer Candidate School, Newport, where they and their families are welcomed to the Supply Corps fam-

ily by NSCS Commanding Officer CAPT Mark Pimpo at graduation. Our staff and students are attending lectures and networking events at the U.S. Naval War College (NWC), includ-ing their semiannual Ethics Conference, ‘Eight Bells’, Naval Heritage, and Eve-ning lecture series. We’ve partnered with NWC’s Senior Enlisted Academy(SEA), where senior enlisted leaders refine their leadership, management, and communi-cation skills, to conduct “Meet the Chief” where NSCS students discuss leadership with Chiefs, Senior Chiefs, and Master Chiefs from all ratings. Basic Qualification Course (BQC) students are meeting their COs and XOs earlier than ever, as Prospective Commanding Officers and Prospective Executive Officers training at Command Leadership School receive Food Service and Sanitation Inspection training in our Mock-up of the USS Duarte’s Galley. Net-working opportunities are maximized as supply officers attending the Supply Of-ficer Department Head Course (SODHC) and Senior SODHC (for O-5s headed to CVNs, LHAs, and LHDs), have the op-portunity to interact with their future Division Officers in the BQC. Although Naval Station Newport is not homeport for Navy vessels, it

Foundation builds Supply Corps community worldwideBy Captain Tom Billings, SC, USN (Ret.)

The number of active chapters of the Navy Supply Corps Foundation reached 28 in April with the establishment of its newest chapter in Sasebo, Japan. CAPT Kizer and I visited Sasebo last year, and met with many of the local SC officers and their now President CDR Brett Stevens, Supply Officer of USS Bonhomme Richard. Their newly elected Vice President, Dave Couchman writes “We look forward to maximizing the camaraderie, spirit, and activism that USNSCF brings to the Sasebo area.” Five more chapters are currently in the works to come aboard in the near future including one that is somewhat of a surprise. Their story (below) is an example of the expand-ing interest and enthusiasm of our Supply Corps community around the world.

A Supply Corps Captain, from our Reserve Component, took the initiative on his own to invite eight of his fellow Sup-ply Corps Officers in the Detroit area to his home to explore establishing a Navy Supply Corps Foundation – Detroit Chapter. In his email he expressed the precepts, mission, goals and objectives of our Foundation as clearly as any of us on the Board of Directors might have done. He concluded by saying “For more than 40 years … the Navy Supply Corps Founda-tion (has served) the best interests of all Supply Corps Officers. Perhaps we can contribute as well. /s/ CAPT Petersen Decker, SC, USN.” Remember to send me any questions, comments, requests for help, advice, etc. You may call me at (760)295-3381 or e-mail me at tomsfree@cox.net.

The OakleafSupply Corps School names library after retired Rear Admiral Powell Jr.By LT Reid Morrow, SC, USN Navy Supply Corps School Public Affairs Officer

A traditional cake cutting was held to celebrate the dedication of the RADM William E. Powell Jr. Library at the Supply Corps School in Newport, R.I. Pictured, from right, are Captain Mark Pimpo, Montel Williams, Clint Powell, Rear Admiral Mark Heinrich, Mrs. Loretta Powell, Max Powell, David Powell, and Cameron Powell.

The first African American Supply Corps Admiral was honored at the dedication ceremony for Rear Admiral William E. Powell Jr. Library at Navy Supply Corps School (NSCS). The ceremony held on 18 April 2013 was attended by the Powell family; Rear Admiral Mark Heinrich - 46th Chief of Supply Corps, the Navy Supply Corps Founda-tion; local dignitaries; and NSCS staff and students. Fellow Naval Academy Preparatory School and USNA Alumni Mr. Montel Williams and retired Vice Admiral Frank Donovan served as guest speakers on behalf of RADM Powell, and Powell’s grandson, Cameron Powell, delivered a touching reflection on his grandfather’s accomplishments. RADM Powell graduated from the Naval Academy in 1959, and became one of the first 15 African Americans to become supply officers and the first to achieve Flag rank. Beginning at NSCS Athens with selection for a distin-guished Independent Billet aboard USS Nicholas (DDE 449), he sought the toughest billets and excelled in them. His pinnacle achievement came in 1985 with selection for Rear Admiral and assignment as Commanding Officer, Naval Supply Center, Norfolk, where he modernized one of the most productive Navy stock points with an automated pro-curement process and other innovative programs. RADM Powell retired after 29 years of distinguished service in November 1988. After thanking the many members of the Powell family, distinguished Supply Corps alumni, and the USNA Class of 59’ for coming together to celebrate RADM Powell’s legacy, RADM Heinrich spoke of Powell’s mentorship, “he shaped me as a young man… into the Naval Officer that I am today. I owe him so much.” Admiral Heinrich continued, “RADM Powell spoke about his strong belief that this country was moving toward

a time when men and women would be judged on their character and contribution… That vision he shared, is more of a reality now than it has ever been.” Thanking RADM Powell for “his perseverance and loyal service from the rank of Seaman to Rear Admiral,” Mr. Montel Williams explained the context and importance of RADM Powell’s service, concluding, “his monumental contributions opened doors for all of us, I wouldn’t be standing here today if not for the path he laid before me.”

The selection board convened virtually and then met as a group on 23 April in Atlanta. The 171 applicants were ranked on scholastic ability, character, leadership, and financial need.
