Proud Memories Of The 512th Fighter Interceptor Squadron by Larry Pelland Contributing Writer

the newer, larger, faster F-86D Sabre, known affectionately as the “Dog” because of its “D” designator’s position in the old phonetic alphabet (Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog, etc). It was a formidable war machine to be sure. Just exactly what we needed to perform guard duty See 512th on 18

The Beginning In 1954, the U.S. deployed several Air Force fighter-interceptor units to the East coast of England. The Korean War had ended the year before and a Westward attack was a possibility. The purpose of this deployment was
to protect the U.K. by providing a means to interdict enemy air attack from across the North Sea. The 87th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (FIS) at Sioux City,

Jane Rice Lands At Annie’s Book Stop On Saturday, November 10th, Jane Rice will be at Annie’s Book Stop in Laconia from 2-4pm to sign copies of her recently released book, “Bob Fogg and New Hampshire’s Golden Age of Aviation.” Thanks to her father, Lyman Rice, and his many pilot friends, Jane Rice was exposed to the antique airplane hobby from a young age. There was a grass airstrip in the back yard and a variety of old airplanes in the hangar over the years, but although she never learned to fly, she has always been interested in the historical side of aviation, starting with Amelia Earhart and other early women pilots and moving on to investigate the history of the Weirs Seaplane Base, where her grandfather flew in the 1930s. She lived on Parade Road in Laconia, New Hampshire, as a child, just up the hill from the Weirs, and some local readers may recall seeing airplanes parked in the yard where the Petal Pushers greenhouse is currently located. She graduated from Laconia High School and Nasson College in Springvale, Maine, and has worked at the Moultonborough, New Hampshire public library for twentynine years. Here is the story of Robert S. Fogg, the Granite State’s true pioneer of aviation, which includes many previously unpublished images of airplanes and aviators of the 1920s and 1930s. Bob Fogg brought aviation to Concord and the Weirs in the early ‘20s and he and his pilots introduced flying to a whole generation that grew up in that time period. For those interested in the history of the Lakes Region, it describes the seaplane base that was a prominent feature of the Weirs boardwalk from 1923 until the early 1950s, and the planes that hopped passengers from many lakeside resorts throughout New Hampshire. Classic Wacos, Travel Airs, Beech Staggerwings and Sikorsky amphibians that once plied the blue skies over Lake Winnipesauke come to life again in the pages of this fascinating history. Come and join us at Annie’s Book Stop located at 1330 Union Avenue in Laconia and meet Jane, ask her questions, hear her read from her wonderful book and get a signed copy for your home library!

Our Story The Weirs Times was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert. The newspaper, then named Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette, was published until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902. One of the most remarkable features of the publication was a map of Lake Winnipesaukee which occupied the center spread of the paper. Readers will find the same map reprinted on the center pages of this, and every issue. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain
To The Editor: My grandson, Jayden, has always excelled at sports. From swimming and running, to back flipping off the dock and being a vied after player by all of his flag football coaches, I have always been in awe of his athletic ability. This summer, however, I noticed a change in Jayden. Normally active and outgoing, Jayden seemed tired all the time and unable to play like he used to during prior summers. One day, Jayden developed a high fever on top of his already changing behavior. At first we thought he had a cold...then the flu...then strep throat, but antibiotics seemed to have no effect on his symptoms. After his third visit to the ER with a 104 degree fever, an x-ray showed Jayden’s kidneys abnormally enlarged, and he was rushed to the Boston Children’s Hospital. After many examinations and tests, Jayden was diagnosed with Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, also known as HLH, a rare blood disease that affects the immune systems of patients causing life threatening side effects. Visiting Jayden at Boston Children’s Hospital was a wake up call for me. I realized that though Jayden was getting all of the love and support we, his family and friends, and the doctors, nurses, and staff at the hospital, could give him, for every “Jayden” there were countless other children fighting for their lives every day just like my grandson.
All of the children, like Jayden, deserve the best care and most happiness as is possible. Moreover, all of these children deserve hope and futures. It was with this in mind that I came up with the concert/party fundraiser, Bikecartoberfest (featuring James Montgomery Blues Band, Special Guests, Collectibles Auctions and much more) on October 21st, 2012, at the Heat Big Tent Three Ring Saloon, to benefit the Boston Children’s Hospital and Jayden’s Journey Ride. The goal of the fundraiser is to raise money to be used by the resource departments of both beneficiaries to buy children’s toys and necessary equipment making the children’s stay in the hospital as fun as possible while providing a service to the treatment centers. For more information, or to sponsor our cause, please feel free to email me at bikeweiserevents69@ yahoo.com or call me on my cell: 603-216-4683 or home: 603-875-7613 phones. Together, we can ensure that all of our “Jayden’s” grow up to achieve their dreams. Mike Gauthier

Bengahzi To The Editor: United States military aircraft are within 1 hour of Benghazi, and US Marines within 2 hours. Four Americans were killed during a seven hour attack on our consulate there. The White House was notified immediately in real time of the terrorist attack in Benghazi and nothing was done. Is the lack of action of Barack Obama to the Benghazi terrorist attack what we should expect from our president? If the President had given the order, heavily armed naval aircraft could have pounded the terrorists within an hour and soon after we could have had our Marines on the ground. Are there any members of either political party who agree with the order of the President to “stand down” rather than “attack with the full force of the American military?” Was the proper course of action to meet this international crisis to “stand down?” David Scott Dover, NH.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
Sparking Memories
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
Two events, one passed, the other coming, inspired this week’s column. Veterans Day and Hurricane Sandy both bring back memories to me of one person – my father. My dad was from Manhattan originally. Born and raised in an apartment on West Nineteenth street, he lived there with his parents and five sisters. Five sisters!! Certainly no War on Women in that household. When he was in his twenties he enlisted in the army during World War II, as did a majority of men at that time. Tens of thousands of those men never returned. My father was one of the fortunate survivors. At some point in the war he was awarded a Bronze Star. For what, none of us ever knew. He never talked about it. I only became aware of it when, as a young boy, I peeked a look in his top dresser drawer and found it there - cushioned in its hard shelled hinged box, lost among his socks and cufflinks. I certainly couldn’t ask him about it; I was more concerned with my own immediate future if he found I was in there digging around. I don’t mean to imply I would be punished harshly, my parents were gentle people whose word and stares could be punishment enough; at least to my young guilty mind. When my dad returned
home from the war, he went back to work at J.H. Winchester; a shipbroking firm in lower Manhattan. On Rector Street to be exact. I know he started there in the mailroom, but I’m not sure if that was where he still was after the war. Either way, he was a true success story. From a low income family, to mailroom clerk to associate and, when he died at the young age of sixty-one, president of the company. I guess that explains my conservative viewpoints, work habits and sense of self-sufficiency. It’s how I came to understand, when I was older, that it really is possible to accomplish anything no matter what your background. And it certainly isn’t evil to be rewarded for your efforts and want to keep what you earn, no matter what anyone else thinks. My father met my mother soon after the war. They married and moved to Long Island, where I grew up. It wasn’t until I was maybe eight or nine that my dad took me to his office on a Saturday. He worked a few Saturdays a year and he always took one of us ( I have three brothers and two sisters). We’d take the train into Brooklyn and then the subway under the water to lower Manhattan. At his office I was kept busy by sitting on the laps of the switchboard operators and pulling the cables in and out that connected the calls. Later, I’d sit at an empty desk and pretend I was doing important office work. My best memory was taking the cone-shaped paper cups from the water cooler and throwing them out the window of the upper floor the office was on and watch it circle and dive in the wind tunnel
created by the closeness of the skyscrapers. After my dad was finished, we would head to midtown and eat at the automat and maybe check out the ice skaters at Rockefeller Center before heading to Penn Station for the ride home. I remember as a teenager visiting his office while around the corner they were building the massive World Trade Center towers. I watched them fall from a small TV screen here in New Hampshire and my mind raced back to those memories. Hurricane Sandy’s wrath upon New York City, Long Island and the New Jersey Shore brought those memories back again. It’s odd how you can dismiss some tragedies as almost unreal if you don’t have a connection. This was very real. It is hard to watch those images; it’s almost a feeling of guilt for not being there, like I should be doing something. My dad died in 1981. Most of us, including my mom, have since moved from Long Island and vicinity. One of my sisters still lives there and was spared from even a power outage. Amazing when you consider that ninety-percent of Long Island went dark. Oddly enough, my mom and other sister, who live about ninety or so miles west of Long Island, lost theirs. Still, all are safe and sound. Things both good and bad can trigger memories. But, that’s okay, as long as the memories are good ones. Brendan Smith welcomes your comments at brendan@weirs.com.

Poser of the United States: The Photo-Op Presidency
You’re Fired WASHINGTON -When Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Livingston and Roger Sherman sat down to draft the Declaraby Oliver North tion of IndeSyndicated Columnist pendence, they began with a “Bill of Particulars” against King George III. They accused the monarch of “repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.” Now, 236 years later, “We the People” are about to decide whom we should hire as our chief executive and commander in chief. It’s an appropriate time to review the grievances of our Founding Fathers -- and examine the offenses committed by our present head of state. Jefferson and his colleagues determined that the king had “refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary
for the public Good.” That’s certainly relevant to the incumbent administration, which repeatedly has rejected all efforts by Congress to pass a budget as required by our Constitution. The drafters found that the British monarch had “forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing Importance, unless suspended in their Operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he (had) utterly neglected to attend to them.” That sounds a lot like what happened when Gov. Jan Brewer and the Arizona Legislature passed a law to protect the citizens of said state from the depredations of illegal aliens crossing our borders. Our nation’s founders were likewise offended by the imperious manner in which the king had “obstructed the Administration of Justice.” That charge is relevant to the Obama administration’s willful decision in ordering firearms shipped to violent Mexican drug cartels in OperaSee north on 27
The official Obama 2012 campaign slogan is “Forward.” The operational motto of the Obama administration is “Cheese.” by Michelle Malkin A s i n “ s a y Syndicated Columnist cheese.” From hollow Greek columns to strategically released Situation Room candids, the Paparazzi President has put selfserving optics above all else. What did we get after four long years of expertly staged Kabukitheater-meets-Potemkin-village productions? Sixteen trillion dollars in debt, a pile of dead bodies, troops at increased risk and a gallery of tax-subsidized Kodachrome pictures creating the grand illusion of leadership. On Monday night, as Hurricane Sandy bore down on the East Coast, Team Obama’s image consultants released a photo showing POTUS purportedly in charge. The White House sent the picture out to 3.2 million Twitter followers with the message: “Photo: President Obama receives an update on the ongoing response to Hurricane #Sandy in the Situation Room.” On Tuesday morning, the White House sent out another Situation Room photo with Obama -pen in hand, gilded coffee cup to the side, leaning intently toward a videoconference monitor -- getting a Sandy update. A White House caption informs us that Obama was flanked by “John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism; Tony Blinken, National Security Advisor to the Vice President; David Agnew, Director for In-
tergovernmental Affairs; Alyssa Mastromonaco, Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations; and Chief of Staff Jack Lew.” In his halcyon days, the images would have prompted an avalanche of social media swooning. But with a tornado of unanswered questions and swirling lies in Washington surrounding the president’s dereliction of duty during the 9/11/12 terrorist attack on our diplomatic staff and security personnel in Libya, informed Twitter users wanted to know only one thing: What about Benghazi? “Oh, so NOW the president is in the situation room?” conservative activist and blogger Melissa Clouthier responded. “But he went to bed during Benghazi.” Conservative writer and blogger Elizabeth Scalia asked: “How DEAF is the (White House)? They release photo of Obama in Situation Room monitoring storm? Where is (the) pic of him in that room, monitoring BENGHAZI?” When CBS News reporter Mark Knoller shared one of the White House photos on his Twitter feed, North Carolina small-businessman Aaron LePrell asked: “(C)an you request a picture of the Benghazi situation room for us?” Visual hagiography is a staple of any White House administration. But the selective frequency with which the White House “Message: I’m working here, I’m really working here” photos have been disseminated has become a running joke. White House photographer Pete Souza’s Twitter feed and Flickr uploads serve as Agitprop Central for all White House-approved, behindthe-scenes-leadership glamour shots. A sample of photo captions:

Follow The Fleet NEW
YORK—
“Navy Sails into New Era,” trumpeted the China Daily as it proudly announced “aircraft carrier set to enhance by John J. Metzler China’s mariSyndicated Columnist time combat capability.” The Beijing media has lauded the commissioning of the carrier Liaoning, which has entered the People’s Liberation Navy thus placing China in a new maritime league. Weeks later in the last debate of the American presidential election, President Barack Obama mocked Gov, Mitt Romney’s assertion that the U.S. Navy has become too small. So since we are speaking of elections, let’s look at the famous comment of former New York Governor Al Smith; “Let’s look at the Record.” First the Chinese navy. Yes, they now have a refurbished ex-Soviet carrier. This allows Beijing entry into the elite global “Carrier Club” but by no means counterbalances the eleven powerful and very potent U.S. Navy carrier groups. Moreover building a carrier and having the expertise to use it effectively is not something learned overnight. The Liaoning will pose China with a considerable learning curve for combined carrier ops. Conversely, the psychological value of this power projection platform is not focused on the Persian Gulf or with worldwide responsibilities but closer to home. The carrier becomes a very potent platform deployable off the nearby coast of Taiwan, the disputed Daoyutai/ Senkaku islands with Japan, and potentially enforcing Beijing’s territorial claims over Philippine and Vietnamese atolls in the South China Sea. In the context of its regional geographic neighborhood, the Liaoning emerges as a maritime game changer. Now to the U.S. Navy. Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney asserted that given military budget cuts by the Obama Administration, the size
of the American fleet is down to the size it was in 1916. This allowed Obama to make the snarky quip, “Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military has changed.” Clever retort but let’s look at the record. “The world has not gotten any smaller since 1916, and our dependencies and vulnerabilities around the world for our economy have grown exponentially broader, the Navy is just too small,” John Lehman, who served as President Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of the Navy told the Wall Street Journal. Actually let me put the debate in clearer focus. The current U.S. Navy consists of 287 ships for a widely expanded global mission. At the height of the Navy in recent years under the Reagan Administration, the size of the fleet reached nearly 600 ships. Given the reality of a fleet roughly half the size of 1988, the Obama Administration has begun a “pivot of forces” to the Pacific, putting 60% of ships in Asia and 40% in the Atlantic. Good concept but do we have sufficient ships resources to sustain such an expanded mission for the Seventh Fleet in the Pacific? Without question the Navy’s mission has changed since the end of the Cold War and the challenges from the Soviet fleet. Today however, the challenges are multi-dimensional. Long, and lingering commitments in the Persian Gulf/Indian Ocean have stretched the physical capacity for the crews. Now with new duties off East Africa on anti-piracy patrols, and treaty commitments in East Asia, the fleet is extended. What of the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean which monitors North Africa, Suez and the Middle East and Africa? What of the number of ships in refurbishment and in rotation? Clearly too few ships are covering too many far-flung places and potential trouble spots. The Obama Administration views the American military capacity as something which works magically well for the asking. True to a point. This is precisely because that capabil-
ity was built by prior Administrations, honed by the exceptional skills and dedication of the men and women in uniform, and kept sharp by technological upgrades and innovation. . Given the Liaoaning’s sym-
bolism let’s not overreact, nor underestimate. What we are witnessing in East Asia is a changing regional balance of power largely through the expansion of the well-funded

‘Cooling Out’ the Voters Confidence men know that their victim -“the mark” as he has been called -- is eventually going to realize that he has been cheated. But it makes a by Thomas Sowell big difference Syndicated Columnist whether he realizes it immediately, and goes to the police, or realizes it after the confidence man is long gone. So part of the confidence racket is creating a period of uncertainty, during which the victim is not yet sure of what is happening. This delaying process has been called “cooling out the mark.” The same principle applies in politics. When the accusations that led to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton first surfaced, he flatly denied them all. Then, as the months passed, the truth came out -- but slowly, bit by bit. One of Clinton’s own White House aides later called it “telling
the truth slowly.” By the time the whole truth came out, it was called “old news,” and the clever phrase now was that we should “move on.” It was a successful “cooling out” of the public, keeping them in uncertainty so long that, by the time the whole truth came out, there was no longer the same outrage as if the truth had suddenly come out all at once. Without the support of an outraged public, the impeachment of President Clinton fizzled out in the Senate. We are currently seeing another “cooling out” process, growing out of the terrorist attack on the American consulate in Benghazi on September 11th this year. The belated release of State Department e-mails shows that the Obama administration knew, while the attack on the American consulate was still underway, that it was a coordinated, armed terrorist attack. They were getting reports from those inside the consulate who were under attack, as well as surveillance pictures from See Sowell on 28

Stone steps on the Butterworth Trail. Rattlesnake Paths are just part of the 50 miles of trails maintained by the Squam Lakes Association. You help can support their efforts by becoming a Squam Ranger, visit squamlakes.org to learn more. They estimate nearly 30,000 hikers tramp up the Old Bridal Path alone. The SLA performs over 2,500 hours of trail work each year. We took advantage of the nice warm weather on the Sunday before Sandy visited and we went for what was most likely our last motorcycle ride of the season. Charlie agreed he’d be happy to go on a hike too. We rode to Holderness and then headed northeast on Rte 113. We passed by the entrance to the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center and I thought about how much our niece Rachel loves going there (they have real live Fisher (-cats)). I really ought to visit there myself someday. Charlie turned left into the parking lot at the entrance for the Mount Morgan Trail even though there is another parking area on the opposite side of the road for the Old
Bridle Path to West Rattlesnake. Both lots were nearly full at 10 am. We gathered our gear and left behind Charlie’s motorcycle. On my bike we rode to just past the Sandwich town line and then turned right on Metcalf, a narrow dirt road. We putted past the trailhead and turned around where the road is very near the water and there are signs announcing private property and please don’t block the road. One nice thing about a motorcycle is that you can park it anywhere and be off the road. Only half a mile from Rte 113, the Butterworth Trial begins and it is marked with a short signpost. The log bridges on the trail are easier to spot. The well
blazed trail goes nearly straight up the NE slope to East Rattlesnake’s summit, climbing 700 feet in 7/10ths of a mile. There has been some recent logging and the trail crosses the skidder road several times. There isn’t any view from the summit but just a short tenth of a mile down the Ridge Trail is East’s ledge with its super view over the water to Red Hill and the Ossipees. We continued down the Ridge Trail until we reached the col between East and West Rattlesnake. At this point we were only 4/10th of a mile from West and I asked Charlie if he wanted to go out and back via the Col Trail for fun and we did.

Most, but not all of us, have called on you to heal a relative or friend, to watch over and protect a loved one in uniform in another part of this world that you created, and for our leaders of America to do what is best for freedom and protection from those who would infiltrate with the goal of killing us and our country. LORD, please show us the way by being in the hearts of those voters who believe that this country is great, and do not wish to surrender what we have. In other words, MITT ROMNEY in and BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA out! ******** How many Americans (legal voters) thought about the unemployed rate of 7.9% which did not include the 122,000 Americans laid off by Lockheed that Obama wanted kept secret. I do hope that BHO has been ordered to vacate the White House roughly Jan. 20, or sooner, and told not to steal the silverware. ******** I swear TUCKER CARLSON (Fox News) said on SEAN HANNITY’s (maybe Greta) TV show that regarding GOP Primary selections “the party will have to look at the process�. Is he suggesting that, two Republicans who lean toward conservative and/or Tea Party, that they should not survive the primary? Not sure if the process where we lowly registered Republicans chose the nominee for any office is we are failing. Or is it; we’re just not smart enough to be trusted with a ballot? ******* Speaking of that, did you receive an email like this: Tea Party News Network Issues Endorsement for President: “None of the above� last Friday? TODD CEFARATTI,
editor of the Tea Party News Network: “We have watched the candidates closely over the past year and are convinced that four more years of an Obama presidency would be disastrous for this country’s economy and for the cause of small government. “We considered an endorsement of Governor Mitt Romney, but concluded that his record raises too many questions about the level of his commitment to conservative principles and limited government. The Tea Party has been burned too many times by Washington Politicians who promise change but don’t deliver once elected. As the voice of Tea Party conservatives across America, we are not comfortable endorsing either major party candidate this year based solely upon hopeful rhetoric. Our approach echoes Ronald Reagan’s advice on the Soviet Union: ‘Trust by verify.’’ Please do not use RONALD REAGAN’s name, when placing your, whatever, above saving this country. Why do we continue to think that there are America loving common sense conservatives out there? One of my colleagues: “Making themselves irrelevant. None of the above’ is a vote for Obama. This isn’t a poli-sci course, this is a real election with very real consequences. These people are being foolish, childish.� ******* The Republican National Committee has a problem: No confidence in people who vote for them. And, as mentioned here before, the elites – those who think they are important within the GOP- may one day alienate enough good folks who believe in the mission. We believe See ahog on 15

UNH Space Scientists to Develop State-ofthe-Art Radiation Detector DURHAM- Scientists from the Space Science Center (SSC) at the University of New Hampshire have been selected by NASA to develop a space radiation detector that possesses unprecedented performance capabilities despite a design requiring only minimal resources with respect to mass, volume, power, and cost. The successful UNH proposal, titled “Small active readout device for dose spectra from energetic particles and neutrons (DoSEN),� will develop the concept and demonstrate the proof-ofprinciple of the instrument that measures and calculates the absorbed dose in matter and tissue resulting from the exposure to indirect and direct ionizing radiation. Lead scientist for the project is SSC associate professor Nathan Schwadron of the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space and department of physics. The UNH project is one of ten university-led proposals selected by NASA to study innovative, early-stage space technologies designed to improve shielding from space radiation, spacecraft thermal management and optical systems. The one-year grants are for approximately $250,000 and provide for the possibility of an additional year of research and funding.

We continued on the Ridge Trail to the West Rattlesnake’s summit, elevation 1,243 feet. Although East Rattlesnake is slightly higher at elevation 1,297 feet, West Rattlesnake’s ledges and cliffs are more open and wide providing a very grand vista. West Rattle-
snake is the finest perch above Golden Pond. We didn’t see anyone until we reached West’s ledges and we soon found out where all the people who ha parked their cars at the trailhead were. Another reason West Rattlesnake is more popular is because the Old Bridle Path is not a difficult trail. The trail is wide, smooth and has a gradual grade (450 vertical feet over 9/10th of a mile)—the kind of
trail that people of all ages can stroll up while wearing their Sunday best. We saw with our own eyes ladies not wearing sensible shoes and having a good time! What fun it was sitting on the ledge and eating the apples we brought from home (picked at Peak Orchards in Henniker). They tasted delicious and we were very satisfied. Have fun.

A portion of John Adams’ prayer was inscribed on the mantle-piece in the State Dining Room by President FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT. It reads: “I pray Heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this house and all that shall hereafter inhabit it.

His second in command was Frank Bohn, a major who gained his fame flying fighters over WWII North Africa in a P-39 Airacobra, shooting up Rommel’s tanks with its 37mm cannon. Colonel Quirk’s maintenance officer was a real prize; a “take no nonsense� old captain by the name of Roy Sweigard who had been on the ship when Doolittle did Tokyo. The 512th pilots were a top notch group of young, recent grads from F-86D school with plenty of hours in the type. The backbone of any fighting organization, the senior non-commissioned officers, were experienced individuals on their second or third hitches. The lower ranking airmen were the best available, including a bunch of college boys. We were ready to go to work. My sincere thanks to Dean Danley, Historian of the 512 Fighter Interceptor Squadron Association for bringing me back in time to the glory days of the 512th Fighter Interceptor Squadron and providing me with much of the information for this article. Without question
our pilots and ground support were the ‘best of the best’ during that era (1954-1957) while serving at Bentwaters Air Force Base in England. We jointly shared the base with the RAF Pilots and their crew members. My journey back to yesteryear began while attempting to locate my close buddy, William W. Martin. We both served in the United States Air Force, from Basic Training at Sampson AFB, NY, on to our deployment at Bentwaters AFB in 1955. Repeated attempts to locate William “Bill� Martin through different resources always came up empty, until by chance through the Internet, I found several links on the 87th/512th Fighter Interceptor Squadron and to Dean Danley. Dean’s willingness to assist me in reigniting the proud memories of our squadron, and the possibilities of locating William Martin, gave me renewed hope that it might come to fruition in times past and present. Most of the information Dean Danley has furnished me is a result of his searching the Archive Files of the 87th/512th See 512th on 19

FIS Association for history and persons of interest to me, with the approval of the Officers of the Association. Short of mentioning names of our pilots and ground support members, let me make it clear just how proud I was to be a part of this extraordinary group of airmen. I was honored to be affiliated with America’s finest. All too often we forget the greatness
of these fine men. Pride, integrity and glory are all interwoven into each one’s fabric. Allow me to flashback to late summer of 1953, wherein Lieutenant Colonel Michael J. Quirk, a World War II double ace took command, and the squadron transitioned to F-80s. The unit became combat ready in record time, and as a result, in July 1954, it was alerted for overseas assignment

on December 13,1954. They set sail on The USS General Patch Troop Ship the same day en route to South Hampton, England, arriving on December 20, 1954. Bentwaters was not prepared for the squadron. In fact, it was on Christmas break until New Year. Personnel quickly adapted to the English winter weather, Quonset huts, and pot-
bellied stoves. Aircraft arrived in January, 1955 and, after a short checkout, the unit was again combat ready. Unit integrity, esprit de corps and high morale prevailed. As part of the 406th Fighter Interceptor Wing at RAF Station, Manston, England, the squadron acquired an outstanding record in flying, maintenance, safety and weapons proficiency. The
squadron prided itself on concern for assigned personnel and for supporting its families scattered throughout the English countryside, learning new customs, and coping with the English economy. In September, 1955, the 87th FIS was re-designated the 512th FIS and the 87th was inactivated. The 512th FIS had been part of the 86th FightSee 512th on 21

The link “Folded Wings” honors all of our deceased pilots and airmen who served in the87th/ 512th FIS.

er Wing, Ramstein, and was located at Soesterberg, Holland. With this change, the 406th FIW again had had its World War II Squadrons - the 512th, 513th, and 514th. Without interruption, the 512th assumed the mission of the 87th FIS. The new unit insignia, which had been designated for the 87th, was resubmitted and approved for the 512th, the “Dragons.” Cooperation and ingenuity were hallmarks of the squadron. A converted but complete squadron insignia served as a runway control unit. While the squadron was practicing gunnery at Wheelus Field, Tripoli, those remaining at Bentwaters poured concrete for a high-speed taxiway as the new alert hanger. Lieutenant Colonel John J. Ruettgers assumed command of the unit in September, 1956, and the squadron continued its outstanding performance, being designated the “best in USAFE,” winning the USAFE weapons meet at Wheelus Field and going on to represent USAFE and win the USAF weapons competition at Yuma AFB, Arizona in July of 1957. For its achievement, the 512th
became the proud winner of the Hughes Trophy as the “Best Fighter Interceptor Squadron in the United States Air Force.” The 1957 Hughes Trophy is a one-of-a-kind award honoring the 50th anniversary of the United States Air Force. When it was brought home to England, this large trophy (the bowl being 30 inches in diameter and 18 inches high, the base another 12 inches, and valued at $20,000 in 1957) was filled with vintage champagne, with the understanding that in the future, it would be used in that manner. The 512th had the most expensive punch bowl in the USAF. After extensive efforts on the part of Dean Danley, Historian of the 512th Fighter Interceptor Squadron Association, we were unable to track down my good friend William W. Martin.

Havenwood-Heritage Heights Veterans Organization
This past August, H-HH (HavenwoodHeritage Heights Retirement Community in Concord, New Hampshire) formed a Veterans Organization dedicated to our men and women veterans who served honorably in the United States Armed Forces during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam Conflict. After, they decided to create a Veterans Organization at H-HH that would serve as a support/ informational group to all who served. The first meeting saw Colonel Rick Perkins, USMC, who gave the keynote address. Colonel Perkins touched upon his 31 years in the United States Marine Corps, (including four deployments in Afghanistan in Special Forces) leading up to his recent retirement. He now flies full time as a pilot for FED-X circling the globe. The H-HH Veteran’s Organization invites all CCRC’ s (Continuing Care Retirement Communities) across the country to consider following in their footsteps, forming in like manner a Veteran’s Organization. They would be happy assist you in any way in starting one. You can contact, Larry Pelland, @ heroes911@comcast.net or by phone at 603-225-4350 At their At their November 9th meeting they will have Major General William N. Reddel III, Adjutant General of New Hampshire and oversees all aspects of the department including Army and Air National Guard and the New Hampshire Veterans Cemetery. Pictured left are (L to R) Larry Pelland of Havenwood-Heritage Heights; Col. Rick Perkins, USMC who was a recent guest speaker and CEO and President of H-HH, Michael Palmieri.

Then there is the indictment against the king that he had “erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People, and eat out their Substance.” But wait; isn’t that what the Obama White House has done, with its czars, scores of executive orders to avoid legislative constraints, hundreds of new regulations, refusal to authorize new oil leases, and refusal to build the Keystone XL pipeline and save us billions in the cost of fuel?

a camera on an American drone overhead. About an hour before the attack, the scene outside was calm enough for the American ambassador to accompany a Turkish official to the gates of the consulate to say goodbye. This could hardly have happened if there were protesting mobs there. Why then did both President Obama and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice keep repeating the story that this was a spontaneous protest riot against an anti-Islamic video in America? The White House knew the facts -- but they knew that the voting public did not. And it mattered hugely whether the facts became known to the public before or after the election. What the White House needed was a process of “cooling out” the voters, keeping them distracted or in uncertainty as long as possible. Not only did the Obama administration keep repeating the false story about an anti-Islamic vid-
eo being the cause of a riot that turned violent, the man who produced that video was tracked down and arrested, creating a media distraction. All this kept the video story front and center, with the actions and inactions of the Obama administration kept in the background. The White House had to know that it was only a matter of time before the truth would come out. But time was what mattered, with an election close at hand. The longer they could stretch out the period of distraction and uncertainty -- “cooling out” the voters -- the better. Once the confidence man in the White House was reelected, it would be politically irrelevant what facts came out. As the Obama administration’s video story began to slowly unravel, their earlier misstatements were blamed on “the fog of war” that initially obscures many events. But there was no such “fog of war” in this case. The Obama administration knew what
was happening while it was happening. They didn’t know all the details -- and we may never know all the details -- but they knew enough to know that this was no protest demonstration that got out of hand. From the time it took office, the Obama administration has sought to suppress the very concept of a “war on terror” or the terrorists’ war on us. The painful farce of calling the Fort Hood murders “workplace violence,” instead of a terrorist attack in our midst, shows how far the Obama administration would go to downplay the dangers of Islamic extremist terrorism. The killing of Osama bin Laden fed the pretense that the terrorism threat had been beaten. But the terrorists’ attack in Libya exposed that fraud -- and required another fraud to try to “cool out” the voters until after election day.

--President Barack Obama convenes a conference call at Camp David with Homeland Security Advisor John Brennan, FBI Director Robert Mueller and Chief of Staff Jack Lew to discuss the shooting at a Wisconsin shopping mall, Sunday, Oct. 21, 2012. --President Barack Obama holds a conference call with advisors to discuss the Aurora, Colo., shootings, during the motorcade ride to Palm Beach International Airport in Palm Beach, Fla., July 20, 2012. --President Barack Obama receives a national security briefing from John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security, in Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., Aug. 19, 2011. --Reflected in a mirror, President Barack Obama conducts a conference call with his national security staff, including John Brennan (right), Assistant to the President for Counterterrorism, on the situation in Libya in Chilmark, Mass., August 22, 2011. --President Barack Obama talks on the phone with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, in Chilmark, Mass., Aug. 23, 2011. Yep, phoning it in as usual. Not until the coffins of the four Americans murdered in Libya returned to the U.S. does the word “Benghazi” appear in the official White House photostream on Flickr. A search for the tag “Benghazi” yields the following result: “The White House doesn’t have anything tagged with Benghazi.” The omission is telling, but no surprise. For all the daily attempts to manufacture images of competence, strength, decisiveness and leadership, Obama’s stage managers can’t shake the stubborn perception -- and reality -- of abject fecklessness and manipulation. Remember: Obama’s campaign staff cooked up faux presidential seals complete with eagle’s head and the pretentious Latin
phrase “Vero Possumus” (“yes, we can”). His stagehands outfitted Obamacare advocates with phony-baloney white lab coats. He publicly joked about turning a visit with U.S. soldiers abroad into “a pretty good photo op.” If he could have, he would have imprinted the worldfamous May 2011 Situation Room photo taken during the bin Laden raid on “Obama for America” mugs and T-shirts. And over the past four years, the Poser of the United States has shamelessly exploited the ultimate prop: his majestic tax-subsidized plane. A Los Angeles Times headline gushed approvingly last week: “Obama campaign rolls out its biggest prop: Air Force One.” In 2009, White House staff organized a narcissistic flyover stunt of the plane over New York City’s Statue of Liberty that terrified unsuspecting residents, who thought it was a terrorist attack. The White House refused to release all but one of the photos taken during the profligate joy ride. America can’t afford another four years of empty gestures and exploitation at the expense of our economic and national security. It’s time for the poser-in-chief to exit stage left.

partment of Resources and Economic Development, Rusty McLear of the Inns & Spa at Mill Falls in Meredith, Barry Gaw of Riveredge Marina in Ashland, and Walter Johnson, Town Administrator from Holderness for being guest speakers at our October 25th Private-Public Partnerships Economic Development Forum that was held at the Holderness Town Hall. I know as a presenting organization along with Grafton County
Economic Development and Plymouth State University’s Center for Rural Partnership, it was good to see a standing room only crowd in attendance to hear the presentations and join the conversations on creating partnerships in our regional communities. Second, a very special thanks goes to our District 2 Senator Jeanie Forrester. From the onset of our planning that started many months ago, Jeannie showed her skills used directing Plymouth and
Meredith Main Street programs, rolled her sleeves up and was instrumental in getting this program off the ground and developed. As a Chamber of Commerce, it is very refreshing and encouraging to see an elected official get involved without hesitation on the ground level and show a genuine care for her district business community and citizens. Scott Stephens Executive Director Plymouth Regional Chamber of Commerce
