USS Turner 26th Annual Reunion

September 25 – 28, 2017 -

Warwick, RI

ARE WE READY TO TOUR? Warwick, Rhode Island is conven-

iently located in the heart of the

Ocean State. This gives us ready ac-

cess to many choice tour sites. This

year we have chosen two that should

be appealing to every taste. If you

haven’t attended one of our reunions,

this is your opportunity to share in

camaraderie with your old shipmates.

Whether you served only one tour or

made the Navy your career, you will

be welcomed warmly by all. We

haven’t forgotten the ladies either.

They’re the ones that keep us going.

Sometimes I think that they have

more fun than we do. Here’s what we

have lined up!

Battleship Cove, Fall River, MA

One 54-passenger motor coach will

depart the Crowne Plaza Hotel in

Warwick, RI at 10:00 a.m. and bring

passengers to Battleship Cove in Fall

River, MA. Passengers will have free

time to explore the ship and have

lunch on their own. Admission to

enter is included. A departure is

scheduled for 3:00pm.

country's most complete collection

of 20th-century naval ships. Ex-

plore the USS Massachusetts, the

World War II attack submarine Li-

onfish, the destroyer Joseph P. Ken-

nedy, Jr., and PT Boats 617 and

796. The Hiddensee, a Soviet-built

missile corvette, is the only one of

its kind on exhibit in the world.

Newport Tour, Newport RI

One 54-passenger motor coach will

depart the Crowne Plaza Hotel in

Warwick, RI at 9:00 a.m. and bring

passengers to Newport, RI. Passen-

gers will be taken directly to the

Breakers Mansion for a self-guided

audio tour. At 11:30am the passen-

gers will re-board the motorcoach

and be transferred to the Newport

Visitor’s Center for free time to

shop and have lunch on their own.

A departure is scheduled for

3:30pm.

Historic Newport

Newport boasts the largest number

of original Colonial buildings of

any city in the country. It is also

famous for mansions built in the

1800’s by the wealthy and used on-

ly in the summer months, hence the

term "summer cottages”. This

morning take an audio tour of the

spectacular Breakers mansion. Built

in 1895 for the Vanderbilt family,

this 70-room estate was modeled

after a northern Italian Renaissance

palace.

Then there will be free time for lunch

and shopping downtown in scenic

Brick Marketplace and Bannister's

Wharf.

If this isn’t enough to keep you busy,

there are many local gift shops and

restaurants in the area. The largest

would be the Warwick Mall, a prem-

ier Rhode Island destination for shop-

ping, dining, and entertainment op-

tions. A recent fully renovated public

concourse provides a beautiful and

comfortable shopping experience.

What else is there to do in Newport?

Audrain Automobile Museum-The

Audrain Automobile Museum collec-

tion is comprised of over 160 of the

rarest and most remarkable automo-

biles in history, and houses fully re-

stored vehicles ranging from the be-

ginning of the 20th Century to mod-

ern day

Note From the President

Joe Jacobs

Hello Shipmates! Gosh, here it is

March already. Where I am, here

in Amherst, Virginia spring is

peeking its head out. Buttercups in

full bloom, forsythia is out and

trees budding. With all this, I am

looking at the weather forecast and

they’re saying the northeast can

expect up to two feet of

snow. Here in central Virginia, a

possibility of as much as seven

inches. Well it has been a crazy

winter so far with temperatures

reaching upper seventies. I trust

everyone enjoyed the holidays -

Christmas, New Years, now in

midst of Lent approach-

ing Easter. I'm looking forward to

vacation season, summer, garden-

ing, so forth and so on, then fall

again - reunion time - when we

gather with shipmates and remi-

nisce about our past experiences,

cruises, shipboard life and previ-

ous get together. My hope for you

all is you are able to enjoy the

blessings the Lord has given you.

Last year, Charleston, this year it's

Warwick and next maybe Timbuk-

tu - wherever, I know we will en-

joy. I am the first to realize life

gets tough in our senior years. We

may walk a little slower, we forget

sometimes where we put our car

keys, there are times we go some-

where, and we ask ourselves, what

did I come for? Do not give up, do

not quit, remember as Ecclesiastes

(chapter 3, verses 1-8) teaches us,

There is a time for everything un-

der the sun.

Looking forward to September and

Warwick, Rohde Island. See you

there!

Flo's Clam Shack Newport, RI -

One of my favorite Newport Rhode

Island restaurants. After a relaxing

day at Newport's 1st Beach, why not

cross the street and check out Flo's

Clam Shack? A trip to Newport just

isn't complete unless you've sampled

their famous clam cakes, chowda,

fried clams, stuffed quahogs and lob-

ster rolls! If you're looking for one

of the best Newport RI restau-

rants with perfect ambiance and great

service, look no further than Flo's

Clam Shack. They do not take credit

cards—so bring cash. I have eaten

here and it is very good.

Thames Street—Along with the

many historic colonial homes here,

Thames Street is home to countless

shops, restaurants and bars. Beginning

at Farewell Street and ending at Mor-

ton Avenue, explore unique Newport

shops such as Thames Street Glass,

Accidental Artist, Muse, Music Box

and Aardvark Antiques.

Beavertail Lighthouse & Museum-

Jamestown, RI -Beavertail State

Park is known for offering some of

the most beautiful vistas along the

New England coastline. Beavertail’s

most popular activity is sightseeing,

and can be done from the comfort of

a vehicle, in one of the four over-

looks or on foot, from the rocky

coastline. Beavertail also provides

some of the best saltwater fishing in

the area, along with offering hiking

trails, and a naturalist program that

attracts hundreds of people each

year.

Newport Cliff Walk -3.5 miles of

history, beauty and adventure

The Newport Cliff Walk is, along

with the Newport mansions, among

the most popular Newport RI attrac-

tions. Once you begin walking the

path you'll

understand

why.

This National

Recreation

Trail, desig-

nated as such in 1975, runs for 3.5

miles along some of the most beauti-

ful coastline in all of New England.

Much of it goes through the property

on which many of the Newport man-

sions are situated. The Newport Cliff

Walk is a combination of paved,

easy to navigate paths and unpaved

rocky areas through which it isn't so

easy to traverse. You must be ex-

tremely cautious throughout the en-

tire trail! In some spots, the cliffs

have drops of over 70 feet.

Our Turner Times What we remember about our time on board

Turner Times

Submitted by Nile Rueckert

July, 2014

A Salute to a Navy Shipmate,

John DeVries reported aboard the

USS Turner, a World War ll-era Na-

vy destroyer based in Newport,

Rhode Island, in 1957. He served

aboard for three years, until 1960,

and I was privileged to be his ship-

mate for two of those three years.

I looked up to John as a well-

respected officer who was, most of

all, very conscientious and hard

working in all that he did. He was a

straight-arrow type of guy who

looked out for his sailors, a role mod-

el for his men. We met several times

in the years after our Turner duty,

always a reunion I looked forward to.

The last time we met was May a year

ago, some 53 years after our duty

together.

We both reported aboard the Turner

as new ensigns, having just been

commissioned after graduating from

college, he from Cornell University

and I from the U.S. Naval Academy.

The ship had a complement of 15

officers. Aside from the commanding

officer and executive officer, the rest

of us were junior officers - ensigns

and lieutenant’s junior grade. We

were all young and relatively inexpe-

rienced at sea, but we learned and

progressed, and we developed a ca-

maraderie that brought about friend-

ships that lasted far beyond our years

on the ship.

Confined aboard a destroyer, com-

monly known as “tin cans” for their

small size, you work, eat and sleep in

close quarters for long periods at sea.

You get to know your shipmates

quite well and you develop a bond

which in hindsight is priceless. Such

was the relationship I had with John.

In the late summer of 1958 the ship

deployed to the Mediterranean for six

months. That was a long time for

John to be away from Bert and little

Bobby. The Mediterranean brought a

number of enjoyable port visits to

Italy, France and Spain during those

six months and a stop in Gibraltar as

well. They say you join the Navy to

see the world. We got around. The

major international crisis we had to

deal with back in 1958 was the Leba-

non crisis. We spent over a month

sitting off the coast of Beirut to mon-

itor all air traffic in and out of the

airport.

John as the chief engineer was the

busiest officer on board when we

later, in 1960, spent 8 months in New

York Naval Shipyard in Brooklyn for

a major overhaul. It was a stressful

period with long hours for John, but

he got the job done. (This also ex-

posed him to asbestos which was to

tragically bring about his serious

health problems later in life, from

which he struggled valiantly but sad-

ly never recovered.)

I now render my final salute to John

DeVries as a fine shipmate and friend

with whom I was privileged to serve.

I am very thankful our paths crossed.

I am sorry I cannot join you personal-

ly today from the “left coast” of far

away California. To Bert, Bob and

Peter - you can be proud of a devoted

husband, father and a dedicated naval

officer.

Navy Destroyer Veteran

An Old Navy Destroyer

Veteran: The rain was pouring and

there was a big puddle in front of the

bar just outside the American Legion

Post. A salty old Navy Destroyer

veteran was standing near the edge

with a fishing line in the puddle. A

curious young Marine came over to

him and asked what he was do-

ing. "Fishing," the old sailor simply

said. "Poor old fool," the Marine

thought to himself, and he invited the

old sailor into the bar for a drink. As

he felt he should start some conversa-

tion while they were sipping their

whiskey, the gruff Marine

asked, "and how many have you

caught today?"

You're number ten" the crusty old

sailor answered. 2 Air Force, 3 Ar-

my, and 5 Marines."

During a commercial airline flight a

Navy Chief was seated next to a young

mother with a baby in arms. When her

baby began crying during the descent

for landing, the mother began nursing

her infant as discreetly as possible.

The Chief pretended not to notice and,

upon debarking, he gallantly offered

his assistance to help with the various

baby-related articles. When the young

mother expressed her gratitude, he re-

sponded, "Gosh, that's a good looking

baby...and he sure was hungry!" Some-

what embarrassed, the mother ex-

plained that her pediatrician said breast

feeding would help alleviate the pres-

sure in the baby's ears. The Chief sadly

shook his head, and in true Sailor fash-

ion exclaimed........ And all these years

I've been chewing gum.

Final Roll Call Since our last issue we have learned that these

shipmates have answered the call of the Su-

preme Commander:

From A. Sokolowski, LCDR (Ret),

11/22/14

To: Turner times Editor

It has been a long time since I was a

crew member on the 834. I was

aboard 7-47 thru 3-48, the China

Cruise. I just turned 90, 91 in

March. Enclosed is my Navy log

and all the events of my career.

Please find my check endorsed.

Hopefully I can make it to one of the

reunions; as you can see by the log, I

go to a lot of get-togethers. I enjoy

the Times. Capt. Antrim was the CO

during my time. I was a Chief Gun-

ners Mate then. I just made the

“Honor Flight” to the WW II memo-

rial and visited Antrim’s grave site.

Keep me posted.

Photo submitted by Al Sokolowski, - Hong Kong, China, Dec 26, 1947

Dick, I enjoyed the article by

Henry Newman, especially the

part about the 40 mm mount that

trained out at the Chinese mer-

chant ship. I was a Chief Gun-

ners Mate then, so the whole

gunnery Dept. felt the “blast”

from Capt. Antrim. He was a

prince. I used his golf clubs on

occasion. When we went to one

Chinese golf course, we had Chi-

nese caddies who were armed

with machine guns.

As we returned to the ship, we

were walking down the pier

when we heard gun shots. Just

ahead of us. A couple of Chinese

deserters were shot as they ran

from an LST tied up across the

dock from us.. Capt. Antrim and

the XO were on the bridge tell-

ing us to haul a** and get back

to the ship

Please pass this on to Newman;

and I have enclosed a photo tak-

en on December 26, 1947.

From A. Sokolowski

It was involuntary. They sank my boat.

Dear, Mr. Fesig, I want you to know a

that I served on the USS Turner after it

was completed at Bath, ME until I was

discharged. At that time we were in Ja-

pan, making a record of what shipping

Japan still had.

This was a one-ship assignment. Seeing

all the destroyed buildings, I thought the

Japanese people would be very bitter.

Instead, as each port they invited our

Captain and the Commodore (that was

on board with us for this assignment) to

lunch. And they took me (a Lt.) with

them. The Commodore and our Captain

were very attractive men, over 6’ tall.

At these lunches, there were always gi-

sha girls there. They ignored the Captain

and Commodore and paid much more

attention to me (5’8”- little round face).

I joined the Navy after two years work-

ing in baseball. After my enlistment, I

spent over 40 more years in baseball. In

1998, I was elected to the Baseball Hall

of fame.
