The OakleafThoughts from the ChairmanReflecting on a Successful 2018 THANK YOU… two small words to convey a big mes-sage! Your Foundation has many reasons to say “thank you”…to our board members and volunteers who give freely of their time and talents; to our donors who gener-ously support Foundation programs; to the outstanding scholarship recipients who honor their Supply Corps sponsors and our scholarship donors with their educa-tional successes; to our Vintage Oakleaf Club members for paving the way and sharing their stories; to our chapters who support the Foundation through camaraderie and community service; to the visitors of our ship museum displays for their appreciation of the Supply story and to our spouses who provide the glue that holds our families together. The list could go on, but the bottom line is that your Navy Supply Corps Foundation continues to serve our community and support our mission because of YOU! As we celebrate the 224th birthday of the U. S. Navy Supply Corps, it is the perfect time to also celebrate our Foundation’s successes. The infographic on our website’s homepage offers a quick glimpse of the many ways your Foundation is “taking care of our own”. Still, we look ahead to all that 2019 has to offer. Our new Communications Director, Tara Neville, is off to a quick and active start. Working in conjunction with our Communications Chair, CDR (ret) Kristin Piotrowski, Amy Emerson, Social Media and Website Manager, and Dena McMaster, Database Manager, they are coordinating updates to our website and mobile site, as well as expanding the Foun-dation’s presence on social media. Also, we are excited to welcome two new Board Members, CDR Troy Pugh and CDR Jason Warner. Thank you to each of them for offering to serve their community. With 2019 well underway, there are many ways you can continue to support your Foundation. If you are inter-ested in leadership opportunities as a board member or supporting one of our committees as a volunteer, please contact Jack Evans, Chief Staff Officer, at [email protected].

What my Supply Corps service meant to me By RADM Robert G. James, SC, USN, (Ret.)
I joined the Navy Supply Corps almost by accident, though it was one of the best decisions of my life. In 1943, I was 19 years-old and en-listed in the Navy to become a Naval Aviator. I quickly realized that was a risky and dangerous path. During officer training, I learned of the Sup-
RADM Robert G. James, SC, USN, (Ret.)
ply Corps and thought it could teach me about business--the career I en-visioned for myself growing up in a small Nebraskan town. Accepting a commission in the Sup-ply Corps, I served in Japan for two years before being discharged in 1946. During my active duty career,
I recognized the importance of sup-ply and logistics in business--the idea of preparation and provisioning and how crucial a business leader’s team is for success. These lessons stuck with me during my 70-year business career in the oil business and later as a real estate developer. When I was released from active duty, I was delighted to remain active in the Naval Reserves until my retire-ment as a Rear Admiral in 1986. Dur-ing my annual active duty training I met and learned from men and wom-en from all walks of life and from all parts of the business world.
“I recognized theimportance of supply and
logistics in business.”
In 1956 and again in 1967, I returned to active duty. The crises in the Mid-dle East called for direct knowledge of fuel procurement issues. My expe-riences in the Supply Corps, together with my work in the oil and gas busi-ness, gave me the unique expertise needed to serve my country. Throughout my service in the Naval Reserves, the dedicated and knowl-edgeable professionals I met helped me become a successful real estate developer in my later career. I was lucky to serve alongside so many committed reservists.

The Oakleaf
Vintage Oakleaf Club Spotlight - RADM (ret) Roland RieveBy CDR Mark Ziegler, SC, USN
Today’s Supply Corps need to know Rear Admiral Ro-land (Rollo) Rieve --a man of great service and dedication to our country. At 17, RADM Rieve enlisted in the Marine Reserve. He entered the Naval Academy in 1937 and graduated as a Line Officer--eventually serving aboard the USS QUIN-CY (CA-39), USS KOHI (YAG-27), USS BOSTON (CA-69), USS BENNINGTON (CV-20), USS GENERAL A. E. ANDERSON (AP-111) and the USS FRANKLIN D. ROOS-EVELT (CV-42). RADM Rieve was aboard the USS QUINCY when it was sunk in night action at Savo Island. Rescued after 5 hours in the water, RADM Rieve was taken to New Zea-land and received secret orders to take command of the scow KOHI. The USS KOHI was 94 feet in length, 4.5 feet draft, and mizzen rigged for inter-island hauling.
“RADM Rieve was aboard the USS QUINCY when it was sunk in night
action at Savo Island.”
With a sextant, chronometer, rude star finder, Dreison-stok navigation tables, radio receiver, 10 days of food and a five-man crew, LTJG Rieve sailed 1,200 nautical miles to Noumea, New Caldonia to deliver aircraft landing mats. In 1946, RADM Rieve became a Supply Corps officer. He served in the Washington Bureau, commanded the Supply Depot in Subic Bay, served as the Auditor General of the Navy and earned an MBA from Harvard. His final tour was Logistics Officer, Pacific Fleet Staff. After 34 years of service, RADM Rieve retired and moved to Calgary, Canada to become a Logistics Manager for the proposed gas pipeline from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to the continental U.S. Later, he returned to Hawaii as Vice President of the Bank of Hawaii before settling in

Carlsbad, CA with his wife Lucy. When Lucy passed in April 2011, they had been married 69 years, and raised two sons and a daughter. Both their sons are 30-year re-tired Navy Captains. Bob was a Navy SEAL and Roy was an Academy graduate and Supply Corps officer.
In her recent letter, RADM Linda Bird thanked the Foundation mem-bers for their generosity in 2018 and how it enabled the Foundation to continue to “take care of our own.” As members since the day we graduated from the Navy Supply Corps School, each of us has probably experienced the support of our Community first-hand. Recently, RADM Ted Walker (35th Chief of Supply Corps) related the fol-lowing story to me. Just before New Year’s Eve in 1955, he was executing orders in the Mediterranean to trans-fer from USS New Jersey (BB-62) to assume duties as the Supply Officer on USS Wren (DD- 568). He hitched a ride as the only passenger on a C-47 “Gooney Bird” and ended up stop-

ping over “in a rainy, distant runway in Izmir (Turkey)” around midnight. The crew went to the line shack to check on weather and take a break. As he recounts:
“This was my deepest, first and lasting impression of
how the Supply Corps takes care of its own.”
I was standing in the big cargo hatch doorway, just getting some fresh air when all of a sudden, this car drives up and a Navy Lieutenant Supply Corps Officer jumps out and says, “Are you LT Walker?” “Well, yes I am.” “Hey come on, hop in. I am go-ing to take you out to the duty sta-tion area. I have a hot sandwich for
you, and some soup and coffee, and we can chat.” RADM Walker mentioned the im-pact this had on him. “This was my deepest, first and lasting impression of how the Supply Corps takes care of its own. This guy had no idea who I was but saw on the manifest there was a Supply Corps LT onboard. And he had duty that night, so he stayed up late to ensure there was a grilled cheese sandwich and bowl of soup for me.” This is the Supply Corps taking care its own! I hope that this anecdote brings back similar memories for you and reminds you of the vital role the Navy Supply Corps Foundation plays as it assists, serves, informs, and inspires the Supply Corps Community.

Memories and shared sea stories: Union’s First Black HeroBy RADM Dan McKinnon, SC, USN, (Ret.)
Officers of a certain age remem-ber the day when food service aboard ship was performed by Commissary-men in the Enlisted Mess and by Stewards in the Officer’s Wardroom, the skipper’s Cabin Mess and in the Admiral’s Flag Mess. The Steward rat-ing was segregated with most in the early days being Chinese, Guamani-ans, Filipinos or African Americans. Just like all sailors, work was per-formed with pride and profession-alism. For decades, Filipinos could join the Navy, serve as Stewards and achieve a path to citizenship. Many of the leaders of today’s over four mil-lion Filipino-Americans can trace their heritage to that history. The best story of the early Messman Branch and then Steward Branch is found in Richard Miller’s 2004 book, “The Messman Chronicles”. I knew Richard and joined him and the for-mer head of Admiral Zumwalt’s CNO Mess, Master Chief Mell Williams, to fund a memorial marker at the site of the early 1930’s Messman School at Naval Station Norfolk. Change came in the Zumwalt-era. In January 1975, the two rates became one and the Mess Management Spe-cialist was born. Now the Navy’s food service professionals carry the proud name of Culinary Specialist. And in-deed, they are now because they had to be then. In the mess decks it was axiomatic that a cook better know how to cook or better know how to swim. I got my first lesson on Steward segregation when reporting on board an Essex-class aircraft carrier in 1957. The two best berthing compart-ments on the ship were up forward under officer’s country—each had private toilets and showers. One was on the port side and the other on the starboard side. One was for Filipinos and one was for Blacks. Those who designed this behemoth of war had
built-in segregation. Did you know that the first African American hero of the Civil War was both cook and steward? Now, that’s a sea story. His name was William Tillman and his story has only recently been told. I discovered him when I accidently bought-at-auction what may be his only known photograph. He is known
as the “Union’s First Black Hero”. It was on board the merchant schoo-ner S. J. Waring, sailing from New York to Uruguay, when on July 7th, 1861 the ship was boarded by men from the new Confederacy’s priva-teer, Jeff Davis. The Confederates or-dered the Ship’s Master to haul down the American flag and took him to the privateer. Without a Navy, the Confederacy began commissioning privateers with “letters of marque” to harass Union commerce. The Civil
War had begun just weeks before. “Billy” Tillman lived in Delaware and was born free and had never been a slave. A seaman at 17 years-old, he became a cook and steward on pack-et ships sailing the East Coast. He became a prisoner when a five-man prize crew took charge of the War-ing and headed to Charleston, South Carolina with its cargo to seek prize money. At first Tillman was treated well, but it did not take long for him to discover a plan to be sold into slav-ery along with the prize cargo. He would have none of it. At midnight on July 16, he took a hatchet and killed three of the five Confederates and, with help from other crew members, threw their bodies into the sea. The story of this remarkable adventure can be found in the August 2018 is-sue of Civil War Times and an earlier 2016 book, “The Rest I Will Kill”. The book title came from a statement that he wanted to get “all that I can back alive, and the rest I will kill.” The Waring sailed successfully back north arriving first to Sandy Hook, N.J. and then New York. First placed in custody as a witness, Tillman soon became an instant celebrity and to many a hero. The famous showman P.T. Barnum invited Tillman to “Bar-num’s American Museum”, where for several days he would relate his ex-periences as Barnum displayed “the identical hatchet” used to bring down confederal rebels. It is known that he took part in a long and successful lawsuit with the Waring’s owners for indemnification for recapturing their ship. His share was $7,000. Alas, there is no record if he ever got the money and indeed no record of his life after 1862. Nevertheless, his valor and re-sistance to slavery was undeniable. Booker T. Washington called him “brave as a lion” and Horace Greeley
Continued on page 7
Perhaps the only existing photo of William Tillman, this 1861 1½ by 1¼ inch tintype by Abbott and Company of New York was probably commis-sioned by P.T. Barnum. Purchased by the author in 2016, it is a personal memento of appreciation for Black history in our Navy.

Volunteer Committee Spotlight - CDR (ret) Bob DolanBy LCDR Adam Gunter, SC, USN
Union’s First Black HeroContinued from page 6
Interested in learning more about the Foundation? Think you might enjoy serving on a committee but want to know more about what is involved? The Volunteer Committee may be right up your alley. Estab-lished in 2017, the Volunteer Com-mittee fills the Foundation’s wide range of volunteer service opportu-nities and provides members a more in-depth understanding of how the Foundation works. The Volunteer Committee is open to members of the Foundation (ac-tive, reserve, retired, and former Supply Corps officers), their spouses and members of the enlisted Supply ratings (those eligible for Foundation scholarships). Committee members are assigned to a committee or pro-gram based on personal interest and Foundation needs. Current volunteer
opportunities include serving on the Heritage Committee, Family Aid and Support Team (FAST), Budget Com-mittee and more. CDR (ret) Bob Dolan’s story illus-trates how volunteers can give back as a member of the Volunteer Com-mittee.
“In his first year onboard, he has been
instrumental in redesigning the Transition Committee’s
webpage.”
Serving in the inaugural class of vol-unteers, Bob wanted to get more in-volved with the Foundation after re-tirement from both the military and federal service. He began by spear-heading efforts to get a local Founda-tion chapter stood up in the Twin Cit-
ies area in Minnesota. Through that effort, he became better acquainted with the Foundation and attended his first Foundation Board Meeting. When the Volunteer Committee was stood up, Bob jumped at the oppor-tunity to join--becoming a member supporting the Transition Commit-tee. In his first year onboard, he has been instrumental in redesigning the Transition Committee’s webpage, formulating a new layout to provide transitioning Supply Officers a one-stop experience for information and resources to ensure a smooth transi-tion from the military to civilian life. If you’re interested in giving back and learning more about the foun-dation by serving on the Volunteer Committee, please email [email protected].
wrote in the New York Daily Tribune that the “nation was indebted to this black steward for the first vindication of its (the Union) honor on the sea”. Many were saying that William Till-man was “responsible for producing the Union’s first naval victory of the war.” Steward, Cook, Naval Hero. Per-haps the Chief of Supply Corps could make William Tillman an honorary Culinary Specialist of the United States Navy. Send your memories and sea stories to Dan McKinnon at [email protected]. Oh yes, an added sea story. The Waring had only one passenger, an Irishman who was also heroic in his help with Tillman. Naturally his last name was MacKinnon.
Foundation bids farewell to longtime staff
At the November 2018 board meet-ing, the Foundation had the opportu-nity to recognize Liz Van Wye and Linda Hall for their 14 years of ser-vice to the Foundation and Supply community. Linda served as the web coordinator and graphic designer de-voting countless hours to the update of the web site and the publishing of The Oakleaf three times a year. As the Foundation Public Affairs Of-ficer and editor of The Oakleaf, Liz touched and improved every facet of the Foundation. RADM (ret) Linda Bird, Founda-tion Chair, summed up their service by stating, “Everyone wants them on their team. No matter what the situa-tion, if Liz and Linda are involved, the product will be vastly improved.”
RADM (ret) Bird recognizes Liz Van Wye as an “outstanding, one-of-a-kind professional who left a lasting impact on the Foundation”.
Fair winds and following seas to our 41st President (aka Timberwolf)By LT Ryan Wu, SC, USN
On Wednesday December 5 at 2 a.m., along with two of my good friends, Justin Berrier and Ernie Cisneros, I finally arrived at Capitol Hill to pay tribute to our late 41st President George H.W. Bush--a true American Hero! Even though the weather was freez-ing cold, the line stretched outside where waiting times reached more than 4 hours. Many people were not prepared for the cold, nor the wait. Still, they endured. There were thou-sands of people, young and old, pa-tiently waiting in line to respect and celebrate the life of a patriot. Those who were exiting the Capitol said, "It was worth it!" to the people waiting in line as an encouragement. It was so cold that I couldn't even feel my feet nor to think clearly, but their encouragement sustained me. When it was my turn, I walked into the Rotunda and stood about 7 feet away from his casket. I can’t describe the feeling other than to say, I was overcome with emotion. Saluting the casket, I noticed a full-sized gold avi-ator wing pinned to the casket drape, centered on the bottom.
“Those who were exiting the Capitol said, ‘It was worth it!’ to
the people waiting in line.”
Both beautiful and touching, it made me want to say, “Mr. President, Bravo Zulu on your mission accomplished!” To me and the thousands of others in D.C. that day, President Bush was President of the United States at a time when our nation and the world truly needed his leadership the most. A warrior, a family man, and a Presi-dent, his life truly was CAVU! (Ceil-ing and visibility unlimited)! May God comfort his family, friends, and this grateful nation and may God continue to bless our country!

Spouses Corner - Chapter Spouse Rep position thrives in Pax RiverBy Mrs. Gracie Dziewiatkowski, Spouses Representative
Pax River sits in a quiet little corner of Southern Mary-land where St. Mary’s County seems to revolve around Naval Air Station Pax River and the life of the watermen. Because many activities require more than an hour’s drive, living in Pax River provides a slower lifestyle and makes the Pax River Spouse Representative an essential role for families stationed in the area.
“We definitely have one thing that brings us together and that is being a Supply Family!”
Recently, the Spouse Rep torch was passed for the second time as Brandy Radke took over for Patricia Kloepping. In helping the Foundation to mold this position, a stron-ger bridge has been built between the Navy Supply Corps Foundation and home. Patricia notes, “We all come from different places and each family is unique, but we defi-nitely have one thing that brings us together and that is being a Supply Family!” Brandy started her reign by hosting a bustling family gingerbread decorating party. Her energy was contagious as other spouses jumped in to plan the Chapter Holiday party and coordinate a cookie and sock exchange! Bran-dy understands the importance of spouse connections. Within the Supply Corps community, spouses have a
shared experience that goes beyond our service mem-bers’ careers, it is a lifestyle that we all have in common. Connecting with our Supply Corps community through the Foundation and the Fun Bunch undoubtedly enhanc-es this experience and builds our Supply Corps family. Brandy states, “I get to know the spouse as an individual and not just an extension of the uniform.” With the Chapter Spouse Rep position still in its infan-cy, we are excited to extend the opportunity to all chap-ters. For more information on establishing this position at your chapter, please contact Foundation Spouse Rep, Gracie Dziewiatkowski [email protected] or your Chapter President.

Dr. Seuss said, “Every successful person begins with two beliefs: the future can be better than the present and I have the power to make it so.” Our Foundation’s new Commu-nications Chair CDR (ret) Kristin Piotrowski subscribes to this idea and says, “My plan for the Communications Committee is to take what we have been given and make it even better.” Ambition has been a theme throughout Kristen’s 20-year career as a Supply Officer which began in 1994 when she enlisted out of college and a year later went to OCS. “I always wanted to join the Navy and the Supply Corps was a great way to use my business degree,” Kristin said. Kristin loved Navy life at sea and spent nearly 10 years on sea duty. “I’ve been lucky—I’ve had four sea tours, seven deployments,” she said. Other highlights of Kristin’s active duty career include serving as a House Liaison on Capitol Hill, almost a year tour in Iraq and as RADM Mike Lyden’s Executive Assistant at NAVSUP HQ. Kristin’s ultimate goal was realized when she became a carrier SUPPO on the USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER (CVN-69). In 2015, Kristen transitioned from active duty, moved to her hometown of Scottsdale, AZ and worked for VIXXO before being recruited by AXON Enterprise (Formerly Taser International), headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ, where she is the Director of Global Logistics and Facili-ties. A humanitarian at heart, Kristin didn’t hesitate when she learned of an opportunity to serve the Foundation. “I saw my USS Nimitz shipmate CDR (ret) Spencer Mosely take such pride in the organization when he served as Communications Chair,” said Kristin. “I felt moved to as-sume the role.”

Kristin’s top priority is to increase the Foundation’s vis-ibility and value to officers on sea tours. “Spending so much time at sea, I didn’t keep up with the Supply Com-munity for years until I was on a shore tour in D.C.,” Kris-tin explains. “I want to build a stronger connection to the Foundation for officers on sea duty. This will streamline the transition between chapters and lead to greater over-all unity.”

The NSCF Hawaii Chapter celebrated the Supply Corps’ 224th Birthday with a “Ball on the Beach” at the Disney Aulani Resort in Ko Olina, HI. The night included a live show by the Polynesian Cultural Center with Hula and Fire Dancers. The Chapter had 130 attendees, up from their normal 90-100 attendees. This may be the first Sup-ply Corps Birthday Ball where attendees were able to wear slippers (flip flops).

Education a priorityContinued from page 1
an American beauty while stationed in Turkey and soon after they had a son named Bryan. From the beginning, “We gave our son the best education we could af-ford,” said Admiral Phillips. “Educa-tion was a high priority for us be-cause without an education, we don’t stand a chance,” he explains. It’s that passion for education that brought the Phillips’ to the Navy Sup-ply Corps Foundation.
“...without an education, we don’t stand
a chance.”
As a Supply Corps officer for more than 31 years, including two flag tours, Admiral Phillips was familiar with the Foundation Scholarship Pro-gram and saw the opportunity to give back to his own community. “We went to every Supply Corps Ball. We love to dance,” shared Admi-ral Phillips. “We were very active in the Community.” He and HelenAnn have given a large portion of the pro-ceeds from the Ferrari sale to various educational institutions and were pleased to offer a generous dona-tion to the Foundation’s Scholarship Program. While owning and racing the racecar was a dream for Admi-ral Phillips, selling it has given a new generation a chance to dream.
