BASE COMMANDER S CORNER By Gil Shaddock Convention The National Convention in Peoria was an outstanding convention even though it was somewhat subdued by the tragic events of September 11 th. A lot of people weren t able to get there due to their flights being cancelled. The guest speaker for the banquet, Vice Admiral Konetzni, also had to cancel. Captain John Peters, USN, Ret., the newly elected NSVC was the guest speaker. A Memorial Service was conducted in the hospitality room to remember the people who lost their lives on September 11 th and a Memorial Service was held on the bank of the Illinois River to remember our shipmates who are on Eternal Patrol. The following people were elected to serve as the USSVI E-Board for 2002: National Commander Jack Ensminger National Senior Vice Commander John Peters National Junior Vice Commander Bud Berg National Secretary Tom Conlon National Treasurer Jim Strassels Eastern Regional Director Pat Ulmen Central Regional Director Pete Amunrud Western Regional Director Jim Foote All of the proposed amendments to the Constitution and By-laws passed. The proposed amendments to the Articles of Incorporation also passed. At the banquet, several awards were presented and I was honored to receive the National Commander s Humanitarian Award for my efforts in trying to establish a USSVI Blood Bank program.

3 3 Snug Harbor s The Beacon October 2001 BASE COMMANDER S CORNER (Continued) By-laws Attached to the end of this newsletter is a proposed set of By-laws for Snug Harbor Base, which I am asking you to vote on. When Snug Harbor Base was formed, the National Constitution and By-laws were adopted as the Base Constitution and Bylaws. The National By-laws contain term limits for the office of National Commander, which equates to the Base Commander, therefore the Base Commander is limited as to how long he can remain in office. In order to not have the Base Commander bound by term limits, it is necessary to have our own set of By-laws. These proposed By-laws have been reviewed by a Committee of 3 of our members and they have found them to be acceptable. Assuming that they are accepted by the membership, they will then be forwarded to the District Four Commander for his approval. You can vote FOR/AGAINST the By-laws by , snail mail, phone call or by a show of hands at the November meeting. If you desire to vote, I need to have your vote by 10 November 2001 (which is the date of our next meeting). Voting At the end of this newsletter you will find 2 ballots. One to vote on the proposed Bylaws and one to vote on your Base Officers for At the October meeting the Nominating Committee nominated your current officers to serve again for the year You can vote for your Base Officers by E- mail, snail mail, phone call or by a show of hands at the November 10 th meeting. There is a place on the ballot for Write Ins and a call will be made at the November 10 th meeting for nominations from the floor. If you desire to vote, I need your votes by 10 November Massing of the Colors This year we have been invited to participate in the Massing of the Colors at the Brevard Community College Cocoa, Fl. Campus on November 11 th at 1400 hours. I will be representing the Submarine Veterans and Joe Brown and Dick Gallipeau will be carrying the Base Flag and the National Ensign. I would like to see as many of you there that can possibly make it. Wear your vests, ball caps etc to show that you are a submariner. This is a great chance for us to get some exposure. Awards At the October meeting I had the privilege to present a Plaque to Joe Brown from the Bases of D4 for having served as our District Commander for the period It was also an honor to present Bob Willyard and Harry Suomi their Holland Club certificates. Change of Command On September 26 th one of our newest members, Captain Harry Sheffield was relieved as the Commanding Officer of the Naval Ordnance Test Unit at Cape Canaveral, Fl. Which was immediately followed by his retirement ceremony. Harry retired after a 30-year career during which he Commanded the USS Indianapolis (SSN-697) and the USS Maryland (SSBN-738) Gold. We would like to wish Harry and his Lady Dee Dee Best Wishes in your retirement and we look forward to seeing you at our meetings. Kings Bay Memorial Service The Kings Bay Memorial Service is still a GO, however, it will NOT be on the Base. Neither will the banquet. See page 6 of this newsletter for the schedule that covers Friday the 2 nd and Saturday the 3 rd. A new location for the banquet has been determined. There will NOT be any submarine tours either. Please don t let these changes deter you from going. It will still be a very impressive ceremony. We are all submariners and I m sure we can make the most out of a bad situation.

4 4 Snug Harbor s The Beacon October 2001 SECRETARY S REPORT By Shawn Brown Here is what we discussed at the last two meetings: September 1: Gil introduced Dennis Blado, our new District 4 Commander. Dennis told us that he was glad that he could make it to our meeting and that he will be going to each of the District 4 base meetings. (He told us later that he though that we ran a classy meeting) SUBVETS Calendars are in and also New T- Shirts for submarines. The SUBBASE in Groton is thinking of hosting the 38 th annual birthday for SUBVETS inc next May They are looking to see how much interest there is for this. They would like us to vote at the National website, which will decide if this is worth doing in Groton. The Cavalla historical organization in Texas has received a Challenge Grant of $100,000. What that means is that if the historical organization can raise $100,000 in donations that the donations will be doubled. This is for the restoration of the USS Cavalla and the money has to be collected before the end of the year. A motion was made to donate $100 to the organization and was seconded. Motions carried with no Nays. Discussion was made on what is our policy when we receive requests for donations. Our policy will be that we will take a look at each request, strictly case by case, and votes by us will be made for acceptance or rejection for donations. TRICARE. Discussed the short falls of TRICARE and its coverage while a member is on vacation. Coverage for prescriptions and care is operated regionally and each region may not operate exactly as the next region nor do they communicate well with each other. Before you go on vacation, call to find out what coverage you have and how to get that coverage in a new region. SUBVETS Inc and SUBVETS of WWII have voted to have a combined meeting in the year This meeting will be in Reno, Nevada. Nomination Committee was set to give recommendations for next years Snug Harbor officers. Committee members are: Dick Gillipeau, Ray Goodwin, and Roy Hill. They will bring back recommendations at the next meeting in October. Snug Harbor needs to come up with its own By-Laws due to the restrictions placed on the Base Commander on how many terms he can serve. The new By-Laws will be presented at the next meeting and placed in the newsletter. Voting to be completed by the November meeting. Snug Harbor and Deck Log website have many new features. Tim Veard maintains the sites with help from other members, Gil being one. He was looking for more members to help with the website. October 6: Joe Brown talked about the Jamie Fund. Money and items that we send support the whole family not just Jamie. Joe read us two touching letters from Jamie. Joe had just got back from visiting Jamie s home and family. Very clean home but very poor. He gave them a check, from Snug Harbor, for $150, which was gratefully received. Gil talked about the convention in Peoria (See Commanders Corner in this newsletter). National conventions for the coming years: Duluth Minnesota in 2002, Reno Nevada in 2003, no location determined for 2004 (two bases have their hats in, one in Connecticut and one in New York), and Kansas City Kansas for NOTU Christmas party is having problems. The location for the party, the NCO club at Patrick AFB is closed and will be for the rest of the year. NOTU is scrambling for a new place. More information to follow. Gulf Shore, Alabama Christmas party is the week of 15 th December. It looks like this is our best bet for a Christmas party now that NOTU may not have one. Nomination Committee brought back their recommendations for next years officers. They recommended the same slate as this year: Gil Shaddock as Base Commander, George Nault as Vice Commander, Shawn Brown as Secretary, and Ray Coons as Treasurer. Voting to be completed at the November meeting. Joe Brown received a Thank You plaque for his work as District 4 Commander. U.S. Navy Log, to join is $15.00 and to place your picture at the site will be $ See Bob Chasse for more information. Bevin Travis talked about the Blood Bank, he recommended that we give to the Central Florida blood bank instead of the Red Cross because the donations stay in the local area. Meetings adjourned.

5 5 Snug Harbor s The Beacon October 2001 MEMBERS IN THE SPOTLIGHT George Nault was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts on 23 June 1929 to Herve and Augustine Nault. Both parents were workers in the wool mills in Massachusetts. George joined the Navy before he reached the age of eighteen, on 31 July He became an Electricians Mate after Bootcamp and Submarine School, graduating A school on his eighteenth birthday. He next reported to the USS Grouper (SS214) for his first assignment and spent the next seven years serving on boats. He left the USS Grouper after a year, went to the USS Torsk (SS423), Commissioned the USS Grampus (SS523), and Re-commissioned the USS Cavalla (SSK244). He was ready for his first shore tour he went to the USS Greenling (SS213) in Boston, training the Submarine Reserves. Only George could find a shore tour that still required him to go to a boat to train. While stationed here he married his wife, Angelina, at Havenhill, Massachusetts in In 1957 he left shore duty and reported to the USS Atule (SS409). One year later he received orders to report to Nuclear Power school where he received training and then stayed for three more years as an instructor. Later in 1961, he commissioned the USS Sam Houston (SSBN 609) and then the USS Ulysses S. Grant (SSBN 631). He ended the last three years of his career on shore duty in San Diego, California as a Master Chief Electricians Mate. His proudest memory is giving both of his sons to the Navy. Both of his sons were at the Naval Academy at the same time, one a senior and the other as a plebe (freshman). At the same time his old Executive Officer, later Admiral McKee, was the Commandant of the Naval Academy. The biggest thing he misses about his Naval career is: A lot of shipmates. I wonder if that has more than one meaning? Ray Coons was born at Hartford, Connecticut to Charlotte Coons. She worked as a housekeeper to raise Ray. Ray enlisted two months before his eighteenth birthday, 19 August 1947 and was sent to Great Lakes for Bootcamp. He started out as a striker, working in the fire room on his first assignment the USS Narahala (AO60). What he didn t know was that a job that he used to do before he came into the service would decide what direction he would later choose in the military. He worked as a film movie operator in a small theater back at home, now that he was on a ship, the E Division also ran the movies. So he became an Electricians Mate by first operating the films. He served on the Cadmus (AR14) and after he went to shore duty at Harbor Defense in Jamestown, Rhode Island. While at Jamestown he met and married his wife Lois on 12 January Within a month he had orders to the USS Ticonderoga (CV14), which was being re-commissioned in Seattle, Washington. So they crossed the United States as a honeymoon. When he got there, he was told the carrier was going back to New York, within a couple of months. He went to New York. His next duty, you guessed it, he went to Adak, Alaska. His following duties included USS Jason (ARH), USS League Island (AKS), USS Chadles S. Sperry (DD789) and instructor duty at Great Lakes at EMB school. This where he made Chief (EMC) and found his true calling. An officer talked to his EMB class about Nuclear Power. He became interested and next thing he knew he was in Nuclear Power school and was heading to submarines. After completing school he reported to his first boat, the USS Scorpion (SSN509). He was on the first crew after commissioning. (Continue next page)

6 6 Snug Harbor s The Beacon October 2001 He was on the commissioning crew of the USS Haddo (SSN604) and later he reported to the USS Arcadia (AR). He retired 1 March, 1967 as an Electricians Mate Senior Chief. His proudest moments had to do with having a chance to serve on the USS Scorpion and submarines. The biggest thing he misses from his Navy career. Can you guess?
