The US Marine Corps’ first African-American aviator, who broke multiple color barriers on his way to becoming the military branch’s first African-American general, died on Tuesday.
Retired Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen Jr., from Topeka, Kan., served two years in the US Navy before being commissioned in the Marine Corps in 1952 as a second lieutenant, making him the first African-American aviator in the Marines. In 1979 he was promoted to brigadier general, once again becoming the first African-American to serve the Marines in such a capacity. He eventually retired in 1988 as the commanding general of the Combat Development Command of the Marines, located in Quantico, Va., the senior ranking aviator for both the Marines and the Navy.
A father of four, he died in his home from complications relating to illness.
Despite his career breaking color barriers, his wife, Alicia, said that he didn’t see himself as a trailblazer. Speaking to the Topeka Capital Journal from their Maryland home on Wednesday, she described her husband as a “quiet giant” and an approachable source of mentorship who during his career helped craft policies to promote equality within the Marine Corps.
“He was a man who had a very strong character, strong goals and a lot of determination to achieve what he wanted to do,” she said. “And very early on he decided that he wanted to be a pilot.”
A veteran of the Korea and Vietnam wars, Mr. Petersen flew over 350 combat missions and more than 4,000 military aircraft hours. He commanded a fighter squadron, an aircraft group, an amphibious brigade, and an aircraft wing during his career. He received repeated recognition for his service. He received the Navy Distinguished Service Medal, the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit with valor device, the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Purple Heart, and the Meritorious Service Medal. He also held the honorary titles of the Silver Hawk and the Grey Eagle.
Gen. John Paxton, the Marine Corps’ 33rd assistant commandant, said in a statement that Petersen was “a pioneer and role model in many ways, a stellar leader, Marine officer and aviator.”
Petersen wrote an autobiography entitled “Into the Tiger’s Jaw: America’s First Black Marine Aviator.” Published in 1998, the book chronicled the opposition and racism he faced as he climbed the Marine ranks, including how he received hate mail from starred Marine officers.
In a review of the book, the site Publishers Weekly wrote: “It's hard not to wince when Petersen describes being stopped for impersonating a military officer at a time when blacks in the service were presumed to be enlisted men. Other anecdotes are more benign, such as the time a puzzled young Korean woman tried to wipe the color from his face.”
Petersen’s death comes at a time when all branches of the US military are struggling to build diversity in their ranks, particularly in leadership positions.
Allegations of racism within an Alaska-based Army unit earlier this year drew attention to the fact that, while America as a country is becoming more diverse, its military is doing the opposite.
The Christian Science Monitor’s Anna Mulrine reported in March that minority participation in the armed services is on the decline.
In the Army, about 1 in 5 soldiers are African-American, compared with nearly 27 percent in 1995. In the Marines, the proportion of African-American enlisted troops dropped from 20 percent in 1985 to 11 percent this year, and of 81 general officers in the Marines five are black.
The Military Leadership Diversity Commission, created by Congress to look into the issue, said in its final report in 2011 that despite “undeniable successes ... the Armed Forces have not yet succeeded in developing a continuing stream of leaders who are as diverse as the nation they serve.”

United States Marine Corps general
Frank Emmanuel Petersen Jr. (March 2, 1932 – August 25, 2015) was a United States Marine Corps lieutenant general. He was the first African-American Marine Corps aviator and the first African-American Marine Corps general.[3]
Petersen retired from the Marine Corps in 1988 after 38 years of service. "At the time of his retirement he was by date of aviator designation the senior ranking aviator in the U.S. Marine Corps and the United States Navy with respective titles of 'Silver Hawk' and 'Gray Eagle'. His date of designation as an aviator also precedes all other aviators in the U.S. Air Force and Army."[4]
In 2010, President Obama appointed Petersen to the Board of Visitors to the United States Naval Academy.[5]
U.S. military career
[edit]
Petersen enlisted in the U.S. Navy in June 1950 as a seaman apprentice and served as an electronics technician. When Petersen aced the Navy's entrance exam, the recruiter told him he would make a "great steward."[6] However, being motivated by the recent Korean War combat death of the Navy's first black aviator Jesse L. Brown in December, Petersen vowed to be a combat pilot.
In 1951, he entered the Naval Aviation Cadet Program. In October 1952, he completed flight training and accepted a commission as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps. Petersen served a combat tour in the Korean War (1953) and in the Vietnam War (1968). His first tactical assignment was with VMFA-212 during the Korean War. He would fly over 350 combat missions, and had over 4,000 hours in various fighter/attack aircraft. He held command positions at all levels of Marine Corps aviation, commanding a Marine Fighter Squadron, a Marine Aircraft Group and a Marine Aircraft Wing. He was also the first African-American to command a fighter squadron (VMFA-314), a fighter air group, an air wing and a major base.[1] Petersen attended George Washington University, from which he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in social science in 1967 and a Master of Arts degree in international relations in 1973.[7][8][9] In 1973, he also graduated from the National War College.[9]
On February 23, 1979, he was promoted to brigadier general, becoming the first African-American general in the Marine Corps.[10] In May 1983, he advanced to the rank of major general and on 12 June 1986, he was promoted to lieutenant general. Petersen relinquished duties as the Commanding General, Marine Corps Combat Development Command, Quantico, Virginia on July 8, 1988. He served as the Special Assistant to the Chief of Staff from July 8–31 and retired from the Marine Corps on August 1, 1988. Upon his retirement, he was presented the Distinguished Service Medal for exceptionally meritorious service as the Commanding General, Marine Corps Combat Development Command, Quantico, Virginia, from June 1986 to July 1988.
On November 9, 2016, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus officially announced that an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer would be named in honor of Petersen.[11] On February 21, 2017, the keel was laid for the guided-missile destroyer USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. at Huntington Ingalls Industries shipyard, Pascagoula, Mississippi.
The Navy said that the ship "will be built in the Flight IIA configuration with the Aegis Baseline 9 Combat System which includes integrated air and missile defense capability. This system delivers quick reaction time, high firepower, and increased electronic countermeasures capability for anti-air warfare".[12] The ship was commissioned on 14 May 2022 at Charleston, South Carolina.[13]
Later life
[edit]
Frank Petersen died at his home in Stevensville, Maryland, on August 25, 2015, from lung cancer.[14][15] Petersen left behind his wife Alicia Petersen and children Gayle, Frank, Dana Moore, Lyndsay Pulliam and Monique. In 1998, Petersen wrote an autobiography with J Alfred Phelps, Into the Tigers Jaw.[14]

The Navy commissioned its newest Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (DDG 121), May 14 in Charleston, South Carolina.
Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro attended the ceremony. He began by thanking the Petersen family for their lifetime of service to the nation. “All of us join you in honoring Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr.” Del Toro also recognized the plankowners bringing the ship to life. “As Secretary of the Navy I contribute all that I can to make sure that you and your families are equipped for the many challenges that lie ahead. That starts with making sure that you have the very best ship that our nation has to offer.”
The principal speaker was The Honorable Carlos Campbell, Naval aviator and former Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development, who served alongside Petersen and relayed stories exemplifying the general’s strength and dedication. Recalling Petersen’s ethic, Campbell said “He received a frag wound, he was treated in the field, and returned to combat.”
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday also attended the ceremony. “It’s fitting that a name synonymous with service and sacrifice be emblazoned on the steel of this American warship,” said Gilday. “Sailors aboard this mighty warship will deploy wherever, whenever needed, with General Petersen’s fighting spirit and tenacity, for generations to come.”
Gen. David Berger, Commandant of the Marine Corps, also attended the ceremony. “General Petersen was a man of many firsts," said Berger. “There’s a saying that ships take on the characteristics of their namesakes, and if that’s true, then God help any adversary to ever confronts the Frank E. Petersen, Jr.”
Ms. Gayle Petersen, Lt. Gen. Petersen’s daughter, expressed thanks on behalf of her family and made a special recognition. “We would not be having this ceremony today if not for a gentleman named Robert Adams. When my dad was shot down in Vietnam he was rescued by Robert Adams.” Gayle continued, “I would like to thank all who had a hand in building this ship, from stem to stern.”
Guest speakers for the event included The Honorable Nancy Mace, U.S Rep. from South Carolina’s 1st District; The Honorable John Tecklenberg, Mayor of Charleston, South Carolina; Mr. George Nungesser, Vice President of Program Management, Ingalls Shipbuilding.
The ship’s sponsors are Mrs. D’Arcy Ann Neller, wife of former Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Robert “Bob” Neller, USMC (Ret.), and the late Dr. Alicia J. Petersen, Lt. Gen. Petersen’s wife at the time of his passing in 2015. Dr. Petersen passed away in September 2021. Both sponsors participated in the keel laying, mast stepping, and christening ceremonies.
Mrs. Neller thanked the families. “Our service members can’t do what they do without you and your love and support. To the officers and crew. A ship without a crew is like a body without blood. You will all make this ship come alive.” She continued. “The namesake of this ship was a warrior. He always went to the sound of the guns; he was always prepared and smart about the risks he took. You all need to be the same. Always be prepared. Work hard and when the time comes, you will be ready to go into the jaw of the tiger.”
During the ceremony, USS Frank E. Petersen’s commanding officer Cmdr. Daniel Hancock, reported the ship ready. Assisted by Lt. Gen. Petersen’s daughters, Gayle Petersen, Dana Petersen Moore, Lindsay Pulliam, and Monique Petersen, Mrs. Neller gave the traditional order to “Man our ship and bring her to life!”?
“Our incredible crew takes a great deal of pride in their work. I can find no better warrior namesake than General Frank E. Petersen Jr. None of us who know his story have ever forgotten that we are the heirs of that powerful legacy, and like the General, we have committed ourselves to owning the fight and carrying his torch proudly forward,” said Hancock. “I wish to express gratitude and pride. It is my greatest professional honor to serve with each of my crew. I am proud beyond measure. "
Lt. Gen. Petersen continues a family legacy of service begun by his great grandfather. Private Archibald (Archie) Charles McKinney enlisted in 1863 and served in the Mass 55th Company E during the Civil War. McKinney’s trip home included traveling aboard a steamship, disembarking at the Port of Charleston.?
The future USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr. honors Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (USMC Ret.). Petersen was the first black USMC aviator and the first black Marine to become a three-star general. Petersen served two combat tours, Korea in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968. He flew more than 350 combat missions and had over 4,000 hours in various fighter and attack aircraft. Petersen passed away in Aug. 2015 at the age of 83.
Retiring in 1988 after 38 years of service, Petersen’s awards included the Defense Superior Service Medal; Legion of Merit with Combat "V”; Distinguished Flying Cross; Purple Heart; Meritorious Service Medal; Air Medal; Navy Commendation Medal with Combat "V;" and the Air Force Commendation Medal.
Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are the backbone of the U.S. Navy’s surface fleet. These highly capable, multi-mission ships conduct a variety of operations, from peacetime presence to national security providing a wide range of warfighting capabilities in multi-threat air, surface and subsurface.

The new Navy guided-missile destroyer carrying the name Frank E. Petersen Jr to be commissioned on May 14 in South Carolina
A warship bearing the name of a barrier-breaking Black service member is set to enter the Navy fleet next month.
The late Frank E. Petersen Jr. was the Marine Corp’s first Black aviator and officer to reach the rank of brigadier general, according to the Marine Corps.
On May 14, the Navy guided-missile destroyer, an Arleigh Burke-class vessel, that was named for him will be commissioned in Charleston, South Carolina, according to The Post and Courier.
“I don’t view my accomplishments as anything that was so much out of the ordinary,” Petersen said in a Marine video entitled “Breaking Barriers.” “The opportunities were there. I’m more proud of the fact that at the time of my retirement, I was the senior aviator in the United States Marine Corps.”
The ship, nearly 510 feet long, will carry 32 officers and 297 enlisted personnel, according to the U.S. Navy Office of Information.
Petersen was born in Topeka, Kansas, on March 2, 1932. He spent two years in the Navy before entering the Marine Corp in 1952. He served in the wars in Korea in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968, and flew more than 4,000 hours in various aircraft and 350 combat missions over his career, the Marine Corps noted on its website.
In 1979, The Marine Corps promoted Petersen to brigadier general. He retired in 1988.
Petersen’s honors include the Purple Heart, the Distinguished Flying Cross, and the Meritorious Service Medal, according to the Marines.
“The barriers that were overcome I feel proud of having been part of that,” Petersen said in the video interview. “But for every bad event that happened to me — I say bad event in terms of the things that may have happened to me — there are counterpoints. So, it’s sort of a balance, the good and the bad, but now there’s a hell of a lot more good than bad.”
But Petersen also said he was proud of his story.
“To put too much emphasis on the racial aspect it’s almost as if to say, ‘Wow, a Black guy did this, a Black guy did that,” he said.
“I’m not being humble, but I don’t want to overplay the issues that because you are Black that you have done something no one else could have done. That’s demeaning to me, so I don’t go for that.”
Petersen died of lung cancer in 2015. He was 83 years old.

|
The first ever black Marine Corps pilot, who fought endemic racism to rise to the rank of three-star general, has died aged 83.
From the moment he signed up to the Navy as a seaman apprentice in 1950, Frank E. Petersen Jr. was under no illusions as to the challenge he faced.
The native of Topeka, Kansas, aced his entrance exam but was called a few days later and asked to re-take it because it was thought he had cheated.
And when he breezed through it a second time the petty officer third class overseeing the test told him, 'The Navy has opportunities for guys like you...My God, man, what a steward you'd make,' according to The Washington Post.
If that was at the very least patronising it was as nothing compared to the naked prejudice of the Jim Crow south which Petersen faced every time he left the flight training base in Pensacola, Florida.
He was not allowed to sit with white cadets in restaurants or cinemas and was sent to the back of the coach by bus drivers when traveling.
Despite the fact president Harry Truman ordered the desegregation of the armed forces in 1948, the prejudice of some within the Navy persisted.
One instructor marked him down on his flight training, though he said white comrades came to his defence.
Commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps, he earned the Distinguished Flying Cross for his performances on 64 combat missions in Korea in 1953.
When he married his first wife in 1955 he was a pilot on rotation for test flights on aircraft armed with the atomic bomb and was called for a flight on the night of his wedding.
A tour of duty in Vietnam commanding a tactical air squadron in more than 250 missions followed in 1968, and he received the Purple Heart for being wounded when he had to eject because his plane was struck by anti-aircraft fire.
Petersen described the situation in Vietnam as a 'mess', with U.S. forces beset by racial strife. Black soldiers were angry at what they saw as institutional racism, further inflamed by events at home with the assassination of Martin Luther King.
Petersen had to step in to talk eight black dissidents out of their plan to assassinate a white military commander and he reported the plot to his superiors.
In total he racked up more than 4,000 hours in fighter and attack aircraft before stepping back from the front line and beginning his rise up the administrative ranks in the 1970s, working to get more black officers commissioned.
He ended his military career in 1988 as commanding general of the Combat Development Command at Quantico, Virginia, in charge of more than 7,000 military personnel and nearly 6,000 civilians.
Petersen was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for exceptionally meritorious service on his retirement.
He was the first African American to command a fighter squadron, a fighter air group, an air wing and a major base.
He had five children, a grandson and three great-grandchildren. He died on August 25 at his home in Stevensville on Kent Island in Maryland from complications caused by lung cancer.
He passed away believing that his remarkable career had made a difference to his fellow African American servicemen.
His son said Petersen loved living on the Chesapeake Bay and being on the water.
As tough as he had to be as a Marine, his son said: 'He was as peaceful and gentle as you could ask a dad to be and was always there for us,' adding that 'even to his last day' his father never complained.

A ship named after the first Black aviator and general officer in the Marine Corps will be commissioned on Saturday, May 14, 2022.
According to a press release from the Navy, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, the future USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG 121), will be commissioned, honoring Petersen Jr., the first African American Marine Corps aviator and the first African American Marine Corps officer to be promoted to brigadier general. He died on Aug. 25, 2015.
Following the vessel’s commissioning, Frank E. Petersen Jr. will be homeported at Hawaii’s Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.
A 2002 graduate of the United States Naval Academy, Cmdr. Daniel Hancock is the vessel’s commanding officer and guides the core crew of 32 officers and 297 enlisted personnel. The ship, which is nearly 510 feet long and has a beam of 59 feet and a navigational draft of 33 feet, was constructed by Ingalls Shipbuilding in a shipyard located in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The ship is capable of speeds in excess of 30 knots due to having four General Electric LM 2500-30 gas turbines and two shafts.
On March 2, 1932, Peterson was born in Topeka, Kansas, and was commissioned in the Marine Corps in 1952. He had previously served two years in the U.S. Navy. Petersen also served during the Korean War in 1953 and 15 years later in Vietnam in 1968. The aviator flew more than 350 combat missions and had more than 4,000 hours in various military aircraft.
On Feb. 23, 1979, Petersen was promoted to brigadier general, making him the first African American to hold that rank in the Marine Corps.
Petersen retired as a lieutenant general on Aug. 1, 1988, after serving as the Special Assistant to the Chief of Staff. His commands include Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 212, which was deactivated on March 11, 2008, and Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314. He also served as the commanding general of the Marine Corps Combat Development Command.
During his military career, Petersen’s awards include the Navy Distinguished Service Medal, Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit with valor device, Distinguished Flying Cross, Purple Heart, and the Meritorious Service Medal.
His actions were recorded in the Congressional Record as part of the archives of the House of Representatives on July 28, 2014.

CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The Navy commissioned its newest Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (DDG 121), May 14 in Charleston, South Carolina.
Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro attended the ceremony. He began by thanking the Petersen family for their lifetime of service to the nation.“ All of us join you in honoring Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr.” Del Toro also recognized the plankowners bringing the ship to life. “As Secretary of the Navy I contribute all that I can to make sure that you and your families are equipped for the many challenges that lie ahead. That starts with making sure that you have the very best ship that our nation has to offer.”
The principal speaker was The Honorable Carlos Campbell, Naval aviator and former Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development, who served alongside Petersen and relayed stories exemplifying the general’s strength and dedication. Recalling Petersen’s ethic, Campbell said “He received a frag wound, he was treated in the field, and returned to combat.”
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday also attended the ceremony. “It’s fitting that a name synonymous with service and sacrifice be emblazoned on the steel of this American warship,” said Gilday. “Sailors aboard this mighty warship will deploy wherever, whenever needed, with General Petersen’s fighting spirit and tenacity, for generations to come.”
Gen. David Berger, Commandant of the Marine Corps, also attended the ceremony. “General Petersen was a man of many firsts," said Berger. “There’s a saying that ships take on the characteristics of their namesakes, and if that’s true, then God help any adversary to ever confronts the Frank E. Petersen, Jr.”
Ms. Gayle Petersen, Lt. Gen. Petersen’s daughter, expressed thanks on behalf of her family and made a special recognition. “We would not be having this ceremony today if not for a gentleman named Robert Adams. When my dad was shot down in Vietnam he was rescued by Robert Adams.” Gayle continued, “I would like to thank all who had a hand in building this ship, from stem to stern.”
Guest speakers for the event included The Honorable Nancy Mace, U.S Rep. from South Carolina’s 1st District; The Honorable John Tecklenberg, Mayor of Charleston, South Carolina; Mr. George Nungesser, Vice President of Program Management, Ingalls Shipbuilding.
The ship’s sponsors are Mrs. D’Arcy Ann Neller, wife of former Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Robert “Bob” Neller, USMC (Ret.), and the late Dr. Alicia J. Petersen, Lt. Gen. Petersen’s wife at the time of his passing in 2015. Dr. Petersen passed away in September 2021. Both sponsors participated in the keel laying, mast stepping, and christening ceremonies.
Mrs. Neller thanked the families. “Our service members can’t do what they do without you and your love and support. To the officers and crew. A ship without a crew is like a body without blood. You will all make this ship come alive.” She continued. “The namesake of this ship was a warrior. He always went to the sound of the guns; he was always prepared and smart about the risks he took. You all need to be the same. Always be prepared. Work hard and when the time comes, you will be ready to go into the jaw of the tiger.”
During the ceremony, USS Frank E. Petersen’s commanding officer Cmdr. Daniel Hancock, reported the ship ready. Assisted by Lt. Gen. Petersen’s daughters, Gayle Petersen, Dana Petersen Moore, Lindsay Pulliam, and Monique Petersen, Mrs. Neller gave the traditional order to “Man our ship and bring her to life!”
“Our incredible crew takes a great deal of pride in their work. I can find no better warrior namesake than General Frank E. Petersen Jr. None of us who know his story have ever forgotten that we are the heirs of that powerful legacy, and like the General, we have committed ourselves to owning the fight and carrying his torch proudly forward,” said Hancock. “I wish to express gratitude and pride. It is my greatest professional honor to serve with each of my crew. I am proud beyond measure. "
Lt. Gen. Petersen continues a family legacy of service begun by his great grandfather. Private Archibald (Archie) Charles McKinney enlisted in 1863 and served in the Mass 55th Company E during the Civil War. McKinney’s trip home included traveling aboard a steamship, disembarking at the Port of Charleston.
The future USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr. honors Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (USMC Ret.). Petersen was the first black USMC aviator and the first black Marine to become a three-star general. Petersen served two combat tours, Korea in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968. He flew more than 350 combat missions and had over 4,000 hours in various fighter and attack aircraft. Petersen passed away in Aug. 2015 at the age of 83.
Retiring in 1988 after 38 years of service, Petersen’s awards included the Defense Superior Service Medal; Legion of Merit with Combat "V”; Distinguished Flying Cross; Purple Heart; Meritorious Service Medal; Air Medal; Navy Commendation Medal with Combat "V;" and the Air Force Commendation Medal.
Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are the backbone of the U.S. Navy’s surface fleet. These highly capable, multi-mission ships conduct a variety of operations, from peacetime presence to national security providing a wide range of warfighting capabilities in multi-threat air, surface and subsurface.

A Navy destroyer that is under construction will bear the name of native Topekan and military trailblazer Frank E. Petersen Jr., who died last year at age 83.
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced Nov. 9 that Arleigh Burke-class destroyer DDG 121 would be named in honor of Petersen, a three-star general who became the first black aviator, first black general and first black base commander in the Marine Corps.
“The courage and perseverance of Lt. Gen. Petersen throughout his distinguished and groundbreaking career make him especially deserving of this honor,” Mabus said. “Those who serve aboard DDG 121 will, for decades, carry on the storied legacy of this Marine Corps hero.”
Construction of the USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. began April 27 at the Huntington Ingalls Industries shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss., the Navy reported on its website at http://cjon.co/2gi43pi.
The vessel is expected to enter the Navy fleet in 2020. The ship will be 509 feet long, have a beam length of 59 feet and be capable of operating at speeds of more than 30 knots.
Petersen is thought to be the first Topeka native to become the namesake of a U.S. Navy ship.
He graduated in 1949 from Topeka High School, where Topeka Capital-Journal archives show his brother — Bill Petersen — was the first black player on the Trojan basketball squad.
Frank Petersen’s father initially refused to sign papers to enable him to join the Navy, so he spent two semesters at Washburn University, he told The Capital-Journal.
Petersen enlisted in the Navy in 1950. He left in 1952 to accept a commission as a second lieutenant and become the first black pilot in the Marine Corps.
Petersen flew more than 350 combat missions and more than 4,000 military aircraft hours during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. He also became the first African-American in the Marines to command a fighter squadron, an air group and a major base.
Petersen earned a master’s degree in 1973 from the National War College in Washington, D.C. He was promoted to brigadier general in 1979, major general in 1983 and lieutenant general in 1986. He retired in 1988 as the senior aviator on active duty in the U.S. military.
Awards Petersen received for his service included the Purple Heart, the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Navy Distinguished Service Medal, the Defense Superior Service Medal and the Legion of Merit with Valor Device.
Petersen told The Capital-Journal his Purple Heart resulted from a mission into North Vietnamese airspace, where a 37 mm cannon shell hit his plane and set its left engine on fire. As Petersen flew home, his other engine caught fire, the blaze burned through his plane’s hydraulic system, and he lost control.
Petersen bailed out just past the South Vietnamese border, “five minutes on the good side, so to speak,” he told the newspaper.
He said he suffered a broken nose, a compression fracture of a lower vertebra and a hairline fracture of his left hip while ejecting from his plane — then flew about 240 more missions with those injuries while not learning how badly he had been hurt until he returned to the U.S. on leave.
The Topeka High School Historical Society inducted Frank Petersen into its Hall of Fame in 1986-87.
President Barack Obama appointed him in 2010 to the Board of Visitors to the U.S. Naval Academy, which monitors morale, instruction and other matters.
Petersen died last year at his home in Maryland.

Mike Peterson
Richfield/Highland
With tender hearts we said goodbye to Michael Frank Peterson, our beloved husband, father and grandfather, in the early morning hours of October 31, 2016 in Highland, Utah. Over the past three years, Mike faced a glioblastoma brain tumor with faith and optimism. His attitude was inspiring. Never a complaint. Always positive. Always appreciative. And though he did everything possible to fight the cancer in a physical sense, he humbly acknowledged the blessing of an extended life because of the many prayers and combined faith on his behalf.
Mike was born May 27, 1959 in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Franklin and Marilyn Anderson Peterson. He was raised in Roosevelt, Utah, which lent itself to a childhood full of camping, hunting and motorcycle riding. In high school, Mike was a disciplined athlete, and he excelled in many sports.
Mike served in the Mexico Merida LDS Mission. The experiences of his mission honed his skills of leadership, hard work and especially service to others – an attribute that anyone who knows Mike has experienced. Even in his last days, barely able to speak above a whisper, Mike made it a point to thank each and every visitor for taking time to stop by, or for serving his family.
Mike married Sheri Bellon on November 25, 1981 in the Salt Lake Temple and attended Utah State where he earned his Master’s degree. Mike started as a lineman for a rural electric cooperative and ended his career still committed to the cooperative principles. As statewide manager for the Utah Rural Electric Association, Mike influenced thousands of individuals. He served on countless boards, organized and directed a youth leadership conference each summer, and took time to get to know so many people on a personal basis. Mike always went above and beyond in his professional work and made many dear friends during his 30 years of service.
There was nothing more important to Mike than his family. He gave everything he had to make them happy and provide them with opportunities to challenge themselves. His biscuits and gravy were legendary, and we have many memories of skiing the slopes at Snowbird and Alta together. He cherished his five granddaughters: Kate, Ruby, Reese, Molly and Greta. They will miss their "Bumpa" tremendously.
Over the years, Mike served in many religious capacities within the LDS church, most visibly as bishop of the Richfield 3rd and Highland 10th Wards, and as a counselor in the Highland Utah West Stake. He served selflessly and humbly, and had an ability to buoy people up. His memory was keen and he had the talent to motivate and teach, usually without any notes. He would often urge us to "try a little harder," "look beyond yourself," and "give to those who need your help."
Mike lived a Christ-centered life in every regard. His personal conviction, faith and knowledge of God’s plan have assured our family that we will all be reunited again.
He is survived by his loving wife, Sheri; their children: Jennie (Chris), Jeff (Hailey), Ali and Andrew. He is also survived by his mother, Marilyn Peterson; brothers: Robert, Richard and Marc. Mike is preceded in death by his father, Franklin Peterson.
Funeral services will be held Monday, November 7, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. in the Highland Utah LDS West Stake Center, 11605 North 6000 West, Highland, UT, where friends may call Sunday evening from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., and Monday morning from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m.. Burial will be in the Highland Cemetery. Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti.
The family extends heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Howard Coleman, Sean, Kylee and the staff at Huntsman Cancer Institute for their outstanding care and service.
In lieu of flowers the family kindly requests contributions to LDS Charities.

The U.S. Navy has named its DDG 121 Arleigh Burke-class destroyer as USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. after the first African-American U.S. Marine Corps aviator and general officer.
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus announced the name during a ceremony held at the Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, the Defense Department said Wednesday.
Petersen was assigned on 350 combat missions during the Korean and Vietnam wars and was the first African-American to have commanded a fighter squadron, an air group and a major base.
“The courage and perseverance of Lt. Gen. Petersen throughout his distinguished and ground-breaking career make him especially deserving of this honor,” said Mabus.
USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. is currently under construction at the Huntington Ingalls Industries shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi and is scheduled to enter service by 2020.
Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are designed with offensive and defensive weapons systems such as the Flight IIA modification, AEGIS Baseline 9 Combat System and Integrated Air and Missile Defense platform to support a variety of operations and allow simultaneous air, surface and subsurface engagements.

Frank E. Petersen Jr., was the first Black Marine Corps pilot and general officer.
Born in racially segregated Topeka, Kansas, Petersen decided to join the Navy at age 18 after hearing about the Korean War combat death of Jesse Brown, the Navy’s first black pilot.
Peterson took the Navy’s entrance exam in 1950, two years after President Harry Truman had ordered the integration of the U.S. Armed Forces. He aced his aptitude examination twice—first under normal circumstances and a second time under the close scrutiny of an examiner who suspected he had cheated.
In 1952 Petersen, then a Marine, was commissioned as a second lieutenant and became the Marines’ first black aviator. He went on to fly 350 combat missions during two tours in Korea and Vietnam, and became the first African American in the Corps to command a fighter squadron, an air group, and a major base.
Yet even while becoming one of the nation’s most prestigious military pilots, he continued to endure racial discrimination in the civilian world. He learned when to hold his tongue and when to strike back.
Peterson was promoted to brigadier general in 1979. The NAACP named him its “man of the year” for becoming the first Black general in the military service that was the last and most resistant to integration.
He earned the rank of lieutenant general in 1986 and spent the next two years as commanding general of the Combat Development Command at Quantico, Va.
Petersen retired from the Marine Corps in 1988 after 38 years of service. At that time, he held the titles of “Silver Hawk” and “Gray Eagle.” After leaving the military, Petersen became a vice president for corporate aviation at Dupont de Nemours. He retired in 1997.
Petersen died Aug. 25, 2015, at the age of 83.

U.S. Navy press release
Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro attended the ceremony. He began by thanking the Petersen family for their lifetime of service to the nation. “All of us join you in honoring Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr.” Del Toro also recognized the plank owners for bringing the ship to life.
“As Secretary of the Navy I contribute all that I can to make sure that you and your families are equipped for the many challenges that lie ahead. That starts with making sure that you have the very best ship that our nation has to offer.”
Carlos Del Toro, Secretary of the U.S. Navy
The principal speaker was The Honorable Carlos Campbell, Naval aviator and former Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development, who served alongside Petersen and relayed stories exemplifying the general’s strength and dedication. Recalling Petersen’s ethic, Campbell said “He received a frag wound, he was treated in the field, and returned to combat.”
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday also attended the ceremony.
“It’s fitting that a name synonymous with service and sacrifice be emblazoned on the steel of this American warship. Sailors aboard this mighty warship will deploy wherever, whenever needed, with General Petersen’s fighting spirit and tenacity, for generations to come.”
Adm. Mike Gilday, Chief of Naval Operations
Gen. David Berger, Commandant of the Marine Corps, also attended the ceremony. “General Petersen was a man of many firsts,” said Berger. “There’s a saying that ships take on the characteristics of their namesakes, and if that’s true, then God help any adversary to ever confronts the Frank E. Petersen, Jr.”
Ms. Gayle Petersen, Lt. Gen. Petersen’s daughter, expressed thanks on behalf of her family and made a special recognition. “We would not be having this ceremony today if not for a gentleman named Robert Adams. When my dad was shot down in Vietnam he was rescued by Robert Adams.” Gayle continued, “I would like to thank all who had a hand in building this ship, from stem to stern.”
Guest speakers for the event included The Honorable Nancy Mace, U.S Rep. from South Carolina’s 1st District; The Honorable John Tecklenberg, Mayor of Charleston, South Carolina; Mr. George Nungesser, Vice President of Program Management, Ingalls Shipbuilding.
The ship’s sponsors are Mrs. D’Arcy Ann Neller, wife of former Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Robert “Bob” Neller, USMC (Ret.), and the late Dr. Alicia J. Petersen, Lt. Gen. Petersen’s wife at the time of his passing in 2015. Dr. Petersen passed away in September 2021. Both sponsors participated in the keel laying, mast stepping, and christening ceremonies.
Mrs. Neller thanked the families. “Our service members can’t do what they do without you and your love and support. To the officers and crew. A ship without a crew is like a body without blood. You will all make this ship come alive.” She continued. “The namesake of this ship was a warrior. He always went to the sound of the guns; he was always prepared and smart about the risks he took. You all need to be the same. Always be prepared. Work hard and when the time comes, you will be ready to go into the jaw of the tiger.”
During the ceremony, USS Frank E. Petersen’s commanding officer Cmdr. Daniel Hancock, reported the ship ready. Assisted by Lt. Gen. Petersen’s daughters, Gayle Petersen, Dana Petersen Moore, Lindsay Pulliam, and Monique Petersen, Mrs. Neller gave the traditional order to “Man our ship and bring her to life!”
“Our incredible crew takes a great deal of pride in their work. I can find no better warrior namesake than General Frank E. Petersen Jr. None of us who know his story have ever forgotten that we are the heirs of that powerful legacy, and like the General, we have committed ourselves to owning the fight and carrying his torch proudly forward,” said Hancock. “I wish to express gratitude and pride. It is my greatest professional honor to serve with each of my crew. I am proud beyond measure. “
Lt. Gen. Petersen continues a family legacy of service begun by his great grandfather. Private Archibald (Archie) Charles McKinney enlisted in 1863 and served in the Mass 55th Company E during the Civil War. McKinney’s trip home included traveling aboard a steamship, disembarking at the Port of Charleston.
The future USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr. honors Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (USMC Ret.). Petersen was the first black USMC aviator and the first black Marine to become a three-star general. Petersen served two combat tours, Korea in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968. He flew more than 350 combat missions and had over 4,000 hours in various fighter and attack aircraft. Petersen passed away in Aug. 2015 at the age of 83.
Retiring in 1988 after 38 years of service, Petersen’s awards included the Defense Superior Service Medal; Legion of Merit with Combat “V”; Distinguished Flying Cross; Purple Heart; Meritorious Service Medal; Air Medal; Navy Commendation Medal with Combat “V;” and the Air Force Commendation Medal.

1868 — Happy birthday, W.E.B. Du Bois. William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, known as W.E.B. Du Bois, was born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, where he lived until leaving to attend college at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. Du Bois’ experiences in college opened his eyes to the severity of racial discrimination in the South. After graduating from Fisk, he returned north to attend Harvard University, where he earned a doctorate in 1895, becoming the first African American to do so.
1929 — Baseball catcher Elston Gene Howard is born in St. Louis. Howard led an active life as a child, but it wasn’t until his teenage years that he was taken seriously as an athlete. While playing baseball, Howard was approached by Frank Tetnus Edwards, a former Negro Leaguer and St. Louis Braves staff member. After persuading his mother to let him join the team, Howard played with the Braves over the summer. In 1965, Howard signed a $70,000 contract with the New York Yankees and became the highest-paid player in the history of baseball at the time.
1929 — Joe Louis knocks out Nathan Mann in three rounds to take the heavyweight boxing title.
1965 — Constance Baker Motley is elected Manhattan borough president. Motley was a civil rights lawyer who became involved with the movement after being turned away from a public beach. Motley began her studies at Fisk University, and went on to New York University before earning her law degree from Columbia Law School in 1946. In 1964, Motley became the first Black woman elected to the New York Senate. Motley broke barriers once more when she was elected the first female president of Manhattan borough the following year.
1979 — Frank E. Petersen Jr. is named the first Black general in the Marine Corps. Petersen was determined to serve his country despite racial discrimination. Petersen attended school in Topeka, Kansas, before attempting to join the U.S. Navy. In his first attempt, Petersen was asked to take the entrance exam over again because administrators believed he’d cheated. In 1950, two years after the desegregation of the armed forces, Petersen enlisted in the Navy. Two years later, Petersen, now a Marine, completed flight school and was commissioned as a second lieutenant. Petersen also became the Marines’ first Black aviator. He served as commanding general for the Marine Corps Combat Development Command and retired in 1988 as the first Black three-star lieutenant general. Petersen died on Aug. 25, 2015, of lung cancer. He was 83.

U.S. Navy press release
Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro attended the ceremony. He began by thanking the Petersen family for their lifetime of service to the nation. “All of us join you in honoring Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr.” Del Toro also recognized the plank owners for bringing the ship to life.
“As Secretary of the Navy I contribute all that I can to make sure that you and your families are equipped for the many challenges that lie ahead. That starts with making sure that you have the very best ship that our nation has to offer.”
Carlos Del Toro, Secretary of the U.S. Navy
The principal speaker was The Honorable Carlos Campbell, Naval aviator and former Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development, who served alongside Petersen and relayed stories exemplifying the general’s strength and dedication. Recalling Petersen’s ethic, Campbell said “He received a frag wound, he was treated in the field, and returned to combat.”
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday also attended the ceremony.
“It’s fitting that a name synonymous with service and sacrifice be emblazoned on the steel of this American warship. Sailors aboard this mighty warship will deploy wherever, whenever needed, with General Petersen’s fighting spirit and tenacity, for generations to come.”
Adm. Mike Gilday, Chief of Naval Operations
Gen. David Berger, Commandant of the Marine Corps, also attended the ceremony. “General Petersen was a man of many firsts,” said Berger. “There’s a saying that ships take on the characteristics of their namesakes, and if that’s true, then God help any adversary to ever confronts the Frank E. Petersen, Jr.”
Ms. Gayle Petersen, Lt. Gen. Petersen’s daughter, expressed thanks on behalf of her family and made a special recognition. “We would not be having this ceremony today if not for a gentleman named Robert Adams. When my dad was shot down in Vietnam he was rescued by Robert Adams.” Gayle continued, “I would like to thank all who had a hand in building this ship, from stem to stern.”
Guest speakers for the event included The Honorable Nancy Mace, U.S Rep. from South Carolina’s 1st District; The Honorable John Tecklenberg, Mayor of Charleston, South Carolina; Mr. George Nungesser, Vice President of Program Management, Ingalls Shipbuilding.
The ship’s sponsors are Mrs. D’Arcy Ann Neller, wife of former Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Robert “Bob” Neller, USMC (Ret.), and the late Dr. Alicia J. Petersen, Lt. Gen. Petersen’s wife at the time of his passing in 2015. Dr. Petersen passed away in September 2021. Both sponsors participated in the keel laying, mast stepping, and christening ceremonies.
Mrs. Neller thanked the families. “Our service members can’t do what they do without you and your love and support. To the officers and crew. A ship without a crew is like a body without blood. You will all make this ship come alive.” She continued. “The namesake of this ship was a warrior. He always went to the sound of the guns; he was always prepared and smart about the risks he took. You all need to be the same. Always be prepared. Work hard and when the time comes, you will be ready to go into the jaw of the tiger.”
During the ceremony, USS Frank E. Petersen’s commanding officer Cmdr. Daniel Hancock, reported the ship ready. Assisted by Lt. Gen. Petersen’s daughters, Gayle Petersen, Dana Petersen Moore, Lindsay Pulliam, and Monique Petersen, Mrs. Neller gave the traditional order to “Man our ship and bring her to life!”
“Our incredible crew takes a great deal of pride in their work. I can find no better warrior namesake than General Frank E. Petersen Jr. None of us who know his story have ever forgotten that we are the heirs of that powerful legacy, and like the General, we have committed ourselves to owning the fight and carrying his torch proudly forward,” said Hancock. “I wish to express gratitude and pride. It is my greatest professional honor to serve with each of my crew. I am proud beyond measure. “
Lt. Gen. Petersen continues a family legacy of service begun by his great grandfather. Private Archibald (Archie) Charles McKinney enlisted in 1863 and served in the Mass 55th Company E during the Civil War. McKinney’s trip home included traveling aboard a steamship, disembarking at the Port of Charleston.
The future USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr. honors Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (USMC Ret.). Petersen was the first black USMC aviator and the first black Marine to become a three-star general. Petersen served two combat tours, Korea in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968. He flew more than 350 combat missions and had over 4,000 hours in various fighter and attack aircraft. Petersen passed away in Aug. 2015 at the age of 83.
Retiring in 1988 after 38 years of service, Petersen’s awards included the Defense Superior Service Medal; Legion of Merit with Combat “V”; Distinguished Flying Cross; Purple Heart; Meritorious Service Medal; Air Medal; Navy Commendation Medal with Combat “V;” and the Air Force Commendation Medal.

Lieutenant General Frank E. Petersen Jr., the first black general in the U.S. Marine Corps, was born in 1932 in Topeka, Kansas. He earned his Bachelor of Science in 1967. He received a Master’s in International Affairs in 1973. Both degrees came from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He also attended the Amphibious Warfare School in Quantico, Virginia and the National War College in Washington, D.C.
Frank Petersen joined the Navy as an electronics technician in 1952. Motivated by the story of Jesse Brown, the first African American naval aviator who was shot down and killed over North Korea, Petersen applied for and was accepted into the Naval Aviation Cadet Corps. In 1952 Petersen completed his training with the Corps and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps. He became the first black pilot in the Marine Corps.
Petersen served as a fighter pilot in both the Korean and Vietnam Wars. In 1953 he flew sixty-four combat missions in Korea and earned six air medals as well as the Distinguished Flying Cross. In 1968, while serving in Vietnam, he became the first African American in the Marines or the Navy to command a tactical air squadron. He flew nearly 300 missions during the Vietnam War. In 1968, General Petersen earned the Purple Heart for his actions while flying a mission in North Vietnam.
In 1979 Frank Petersen became the first black general in the Marine Corps. In 1986 he was named the first black commander of Quantico Marine Base in Virginia.
Gen. Petersen served thirty-eight years in the Navy, including thirty-six as a Marine. He retired as a lieutenant general in 1988. At the time of his retirement, Gen. Petersen had earned twenty medals for bravery in combat. He was also the senior ranking pilot in the Marine Corps and Navy from 1985 to 1988. General Petersen worked with several education and research organizations during and after his time in the military. These include the Tuskegee Airmen headquarters and the National Aviation Research and Education Foundation. He was also vice president of Dupont Aviation.
Gen. Frank E. Petersen died on August 25, 2015 at his home in Stevensville, Maryland of complications from lung cancer. He was 83.

Retired Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, who made history twice as the first African-American aviator in the Marine Corps and then as the Corps' first African-American general, has died at 83, the Marines' announced.
Petersen, who flew more than 350 combat missions in Korea and Vietnam, died Tuesday at his home in Stevensville, Maryland, of complications from lung cancer.
When he retired as a lieutenant general in 1988, Petersen was the senior ranking aviator in both the Marines and the Navy — with which he served before joining the Marine Corps — and held the honorary titles of Silver Hawk and Grey Eagle.
Petersen served two years in the Navy before he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps in 1952, becoming the first African-American aviator in the service's history. He went on to command his own fighter squadron, then an aircraft group, an amphibious brigade and an aircraft wing.
Petersen was promoted to brigadier general in 1979, becoming the first African-American to hold the rank in the Marine Corps. After serving as special assistant to the Marines' chief of staff, he retired as commanding general of Marine Corps Combat Development Command at Quantico, Virginia.
Gen. John M. Paxton, assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, called Petersen "a pioneer and role model in many ways, a stellar leader, Marine officer and aviator."
In his 1998 autobiography, "Into the Tiger's Jaw: America's First Black Marine Aviator," Petersen wrote at length about the opposition he encountered along his way up the ranks.
"The hate mail was even more revealing, some of it coming, I am sure, from certain officers wearing stars," he wrote.
He finally felt "I was a winner" upon his promotion to brigadier general, "even though "not everybody in the Corps was overjoyed at my selection," he wrote.
"The aide presented my brigadier's flag with its one glaring star to the commandant, who immediately handed it to me. I kissed my wife, left the flag with her, then seemingly floated to the lectern to give the crowd my good wishes and thanks," Petersen wrote.
"'He took that flag,' Alicia [Petersen's wife] likes to remember, 'and he wrapped it around himself and he sat upon his chair like he was on a throne,'" Petersen wrote.
Among his many honors, Petersen received the Distinguished Service Medal, the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit with valor device, the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Meritorious Service Medal, the corps said.

Frank E. Petersen Jr., was the first Black Marine Corps pilot and general officer.
Born in racially segregated Topeka, Kansas, Petersen decided to join the Navy at age 18 after hearing about the Korean War combat death of Jesse Brown, the Navy’s first black pilot.
Peterson took the Navy’s entrance exam in 1950, two years after President Harry Truman had ordered the integration of the U.S. Armed Forces. He aced his aptitude examination twice—first under normal circumstances and a second time under the close scrutiny of an examiner who suspected he had cheated.
In 1952 Petersen, then a Marine, was commissioned as a second lieutenant and became the Marines’ first black aviator. He went on to fly 350 combat missions during two tours in Korea and Vietnam, and became the first African American in the Corps to command a fighter squadron, an air group, and a major base.
Yet even while becoming one of the nation’s most prestigious military pilots, he continued to endure racial discrimination in the civilian world. He learned when to hold his tongue and when to strike back.
Peterson was promoted to brigadier general in 1979. The NAACP named him its “man of the year” for becoming the first Black general in the military service that was the last and most resistant to integration.
He earned the rank of lieutenant general in 1986 and spent the next two years as commanding general of the Combat Development Command at Quantico, Va.
Petersen retired from the Marine Corps in 1988 after 38 years of service. At that time, he held the titles of “Silver Hawk” and “Gray Eagle.” After leaving the military, Petersen became a vice president for corporate aviation at Dupont de Nemours. He retired in 1997.
Petersen died Aug. 25, 2015, at the age of 83.

Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro attended the ceremony. He began by thanking the Petersen family for their lifetime of service to the nation. “All of us join you in honoring Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr.” Del Toro also recognized the plankowners bringing the ship to life. “As Secretary of the Navy I contribute all that I can to make sure that you and your families are equipped for the many challenges that lie ahead. That starts with making sure that you have the very best ship that our nation has to offer.”
The principal speaker was The Honorable Carlos Campbell, Naval aviator and former Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development, who served alongside Petersen and relayed stories exemplifying the general’s strength and dedication. Recalling Petersen’s ethic, Campbell said “He received a frag wound, he was treated in the field, and returned to combat.”
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday also attended the ceremony. “It’s fitting that a name synonymous with service and sacrifice be emblazoned on the steel of this American warship,” said Gilday. “Sailors aboard this mighty warship will deploy wherever, whenever needed, with General Petersen’s fighting spirit and tenacity, for generations to come.”
Gen. David Berger, Commandant of the Marine Corps, also attended the ceremony. “General Petersen was a man of many firsts," said Berger. “There’s a saying that ships take on the characteristics of their namesakes, and if that’s true, then God help any adversary to ever confronts the Frank E. Petersen, Jr.”
Ms. Gayle Petersen, Lt. Gen. Petersen’s daughter, expressed thanks on behalf of her family and made a special recognition. “We would not be having this ceremony today if not for a gentleman named Robert Adams. When my dad was shot down in Vietnam he was rescued by Robert Adams.” Gayle continued, “I would like to thank all who had a hand in building this ship, from stem to stern.”
Guest speakers for the event included The Honorable Nancy Mace, U.S Rep. from South Carolina’s 1st District; The Honorable John Tecklenberg, Mayor of Charleston, South Carolina; Mr. George Nungesser, Vice President of Program Management, Ingalls Shipbuilding.
The ship’s sponsors are Mrs. D’Arcy Ann Neller, wife of former Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Robert “Bob” Neller, USMC (Ret.), and the late Dr. Alicia J. Petersen, Lt. Gen. Petersen’s wife at the time of his passing in 2015. Dr. Petersen passed away in September 2021. Both sponsors participated in the keel laying, mast stepping, and christening ceremonies.
Mrs. Neller thanked the families. “Our service members can’t do what they do without you and your love and support. To the officers and crew. A ship without a crew is like a body without blood. You will all make this ship come alive.” She continued. “The namesake of this ship was a warrior. He always went to the sound of the guns; he was always prepared and smart about the risks he took. You all need to be the same. Always be prepared. Work hard and when the time comes, you will be ready to go into the jaw of the tiger.”
During the ceremony, USS Frank E. Petersen’s commanding officer Cmdr. Daniel Hancock, reported the ship ready. Assisted by Lt. Gen. Petersen’s daughters, Gayle Petersen, Dana Petersen Moore, Lindsay Pulliam, and Monique Petersen, Mrs. Neller gave the traditional order to “Man our ship and bring her to life!”
“Our incredible crew takes a great deal of pride in their work. I can find no better warrior namesake than General Frank E. Petersen Jr. None of us who know his story have ever forgotten that we are the heirs of that powerful legacy, and like the General, we have committed ourselves to owning the fight and carrying his torch proudly forward,” said Hancock. “I wish to express gratitude and pride. It is my greatest professional honor to serve with each of my crew. I am proud beyond measure. "
Lt. Gen. Petersen continues a family legacy of service begun by his great grandfather. Private Archibald (Archie) Charles McKinney enlisted in 1863 and served in the Mass 55th Company E during the Civil War. McKinney’s trip home included traveling aboard a steamship, disembarking at the Port of Charleston.
The future USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr. honors Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (USMC Ret.). Petersen was the first black USMC aviator and the first black Marine to become a three-star general. Petersen served two combat tours, Korea in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968. He flew more than 350 combat missions and had over 4,000 hours in various fighter and attack aircraft. Petersen passed away in Aug. 2015 at the age of 83.
Retiring in 1988 after 38 years of service, Petersen’s awards included the Defense Superior Service Medal; Legion of Merit with Combat "V”; Distinguished Flying Cross; Purple Heart; Meritorious Service Medal; Air Medal; Navy Commendation Medal with Combat "V;" and the Air Force Commendation Medal.
Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are the backbone of the U.S. Navy’s surface fleet. These highly capable, multi-mission ships conduct a variety of operations, from peacetime presence to national security providing a wide range of warfighting capabilities in multi-threat air, surface and subsurface.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - The United States Navy accepted the delivery of a new guided-missile destroyer in November. It is named in honor of US Marine Corps Lieutenant General Frank E. Petersen Jr. who graduated from Topeka High School.
The USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. DDG 121 will soon set sail. The destroyer is named for the United States Marine Corps Lieutenant General Frank E. Petersen Jr.
“Growing up in Topeka, KS, he would lay in bed and listen to the airplanes flying overhead and he could identify the maker and the model of the airplane that was flying overhead. he was a kid who always wanted to fly,” Dana Moore, Petersen’s Jr. daughter said.
In September this year, the destroyer successfully completed acceptance trials after spending two days at sea for the final round of trials. The destroyer was christened in October 2018.
The Topeka native graduated from Topeka High School in 1949, went to Washburn University for a short time, then enlisted in the navy in 1950.
“The navy had already had a black pilot, the marine corps had not so he chose the Marine Corps,” Moore said.
Two years later, he became a pilot, making him the first African-American Marine Corps Aviator, he would later become the first African-American promoted to the rank of general in the marines.
“The thing I always remember was every time a plane flew over I would reach out to the sky and say hello uncle buddy,” Petersen’s niece, Debbie Dirden said.
“During that time that it was so important for all black men or all black families to do their best, to be their best,” Petersen’s niece, Patricia Leal-Mack said.
“When dad would take off or land the plane all the black people would come out and watch,” Petersen’s daughter, Gayle Petersen said. “It was just a beautiful thing to see, so he was very impressive to a lot of people to us he was just daddy.”
As the first African-American to command a fighter squadron, a fighter air group, an air wing, and a major base, Peterson flew more than 350 combat missions during the Korean and Vietnam wars between 1953 and 1968.
Moore explained that while Petersen was on one combat mission in Vietnam in 1968, Petersen’s plane was shot down, “I remember when dad was shot down and we were living in California and very scary to almost think that we lost our dad. When we lived in Topeka, KS our dad was in Korea. Frank said that our dad would always put us in a safe and good place.”
His family says it wasn’t easy for him to pursue his dreams.
“Being the first black in the 1960s to do anything carried a lot he was the first to do it and it was hard and it was not there were a lot of false barriers there were a lot of challenges that were put up there were a lot of false pressures,” Moore explained.
“I remember he would tell the story of how he was of course the senior ranking officer and people wouldn’t salute him and there was a man that wouldn’t salute him, and rather than get into a firefight about it, he just say can you at least salute the uniform, you may not want to salute me as a black man but at least salute the uniform,” Frank E. Petersen III explained. “I can remember 5 am in the morning waking up and dad was there shining his shoes right his shoes were unbelievable. One of the things dad said to me is ‘no matter how bad things seem, there’s always at least one person that’s going to do the right thing.”
But, he stuck to his motto of “frank owning the fight, “and what kept him going was just that, because he understood how to win the war and not try to win battles,” Frank Petersen III emphasized.
“The best time of our lives because all the years he was away and fighting wars and doing what he needed to do to preserve justice and freedom and fairness for this country,” Moore said.
In 1986, Peterson Jr. was inducted into the Topeka High School historical society’s hall of fame.
“The fact that Topeka High has put him into the Hall of Fame, and has a room with so much of his memorabilia and that students not yet born will be in that space and see his name and have the opportunity to learn about what happened there in their school is phenomenal,” Moore said.
“I think he would be flabbergasted in a way to have such an honor,” Frank Petersen III added.
“I think if he were here, he would probably say “take me to the engine room and let me run this thing,” Moore and the family laughed. ”It’s wonderful to know that that legacy will continue on.”
The destroyer will be commissioned in Charleston, South Carolina in spring, then, sail to Hawaii where it will be based.
Peterson passed away in 2015. He wrote a book about his career. it’s titled “Into The Tiger’s Jaw.”

The Navy commissioned its newest Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (DDG 121), May 14 in Charleston, South Carolina.
Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro attended the ceremony. He began by thanking the Petersen family for their lifetime of service to the nation. “All of us join you in honoring Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr.” Del Toro also recognized the plankowners bringing the ship to life. “As Secretary of the Navy I contribute all that I can to make sure that you and your families are equipped for the many challenges that lie ahead. That starts with making sure that you have the very best ship that our nation has to offer.”
The principal speaker was The Honorable Carlos Campbell, Naval aviator and former Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development, who served alongside Petersen and relayed stories exemplifying the general’s strength and dedication. Recalling Petersen’s ethic, Campbell said “He received a frag wound, he was treated in the field, and returned to combat.”
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday also attended the ceremony. “It’s fitting that a name synonymous with service and sacrifice be emblazoned on the steel of this American warship,” said Gilday. “Sailors aboard this mighty warship will deploy wherever, whenever needed, with General Petersen’s fighting spirit and tenacity, for generations to come.”
Gen. David Berger, Commandant of the Marine Corps, also attended the ceremony. “General Petersen was a man of many firsts," said Berger. “There’s a saying that ships take on the characteristics of their namesakes, and if that’s true, then God help any adversary to ever confronts the Frank E. Petersen, Jr.”
Ms. Gayle Petersen, Lt. Gen. Petersen’s daughter, expressed thanks on behalf of her family and made a special recognition. “We would not be having this ceremony today if not for a gentleman named Robert Adams. When my dad was shot down in Vietnam he was rescued by Robert Adams.” Gayle continued, “I would like to thank all who had a hand in building this ship, from stem to stern.”
Guest speakers for the event included The Honorable Nancy Mace, U.S Rep. from South Carolina’s 1st District; The Honorable John Tecklenberg, Mayor of Charleston, South Carolina; Mr. George Nungesser, Vice President of Program Management, Ingalls Shipbuilding.
The ship’s sponsors are Mrs. D’Arcy Ann Neller, wife of former Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Robert “Bob” Neller, USMC (Ret.), and the late Dr. Alicia J. Petersen, Lt. Gen. Petersen’s wife at the time of his passing in 2015. Dr. Petersen passed away in September 2021. Both sponsors participated in the keel laying, mast stepping, and christening ceremonies.
Mrs. Neller thanked the families. “Our service members can’t do what they do without you and your love and support. To the officers and crew. A ship without a crew is like a body without blood. You will all make this ship come alive.” She continued. “The namesake of this ship was a warrior. He always went to the sound of the guns; he was always prepared and smart about the risks he took. You all need to be the same. Always be prepared. Work hard and when the time comes, you will be ready to go into the jaw of the tiger.”
During the ceremony, USS Frank E. Petersen’s commanding officer Cmdr. Daniel Hancock, reported the ship ready. Assisted by Lt. Gen. Petersen’s daughters, Gayle Petersen, Dana Petersen Moore, Lindsay Pulliam, and Monique Petersen, Mrs. Neller gave the traditional order to “Man our ship and bring her to life!”?
“Our incredible crew takes a great deal of pride in their work. I can find no better warrior namesake than General Frank E. Petersen Jr. None of us who know his story have ever forgotten that we are the heirs of that powerful legacy, and like the General, we have committed ourselves to owning the fight and carrying his torch proudly forward,” said Hancock. “I wish to express gratitude and pride. It is my greatest professional honor to serve with each of my crew. I am proud beyond measure. "
Lt. Gen. Petersen continues a family legacy of service begun by his great grandfather. Private Archibald (Archie) Charles McKinney enlisted in 1863 and served in the Mass 55th Company E during the Civil War. McKinney’s trip home included traveling aboard a steamship, disembarking at the Port of Charleston.?
The future USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr. honors Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (USMC Ret.). Petersen was the first black USMC aviator and the first black Marine to become a three-star general. Petersen served two combat tours, Korea in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968. He flew more than 350 combat missions and had over 4,000 hours in various fighter and attack aircraft. Petersen passed away in Aug. 2015 at the age of 83.
Retiring in 1988 after 38 years of service, Petersen’s awards included the Defense Superior Service Medal; Legion of Merit with Combat "V”; Distinguished Flying Cross; Purple Heart; Meritorious Service Medal; Air Medal; Navy Commendation Medal with Combat "V;" and the Air Force Commendation Medal.
Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are the backbone of the U.S. Navy’s surface fleet. These highly capable, multi-mission ships conduct a variety of operations, from peacetime presence to national security providing a wide range of warfighting capabilities in multi-threat air, surface and subsurface.

The US Navy is set to christen its newest Arleigh Burke-class Flight IIA guided missile destroyer at Pascagoula shipyard in Mississippi, naming it the USS Frank E Petersen Jr (DDG 121).
DDG 121 has been named after the US Marine Corps’ (USMC) first African-American aviator and officer, lieutenant general Frank E Petersen Jr.
The ship will be the 71st Arleigh Burke-class destroyer and the fifth of a total fleet of 21 DDG-51 vessels currently under contract with the US Navy.
US Navy secretary Richard V Spencer said: “The future USS Frank E Petersen Jr will serve for decades as a reminder of Lt Gen Petersen’s service to our nation and navy and Marine Corps team.
“This ceremony honours not only Petersen’s service but also the service of our nation’s industrial partners, who, for centuries, have helped make our navy the greatest in the world.”
The future USS Frank E Petersen Jr has been specifically designed to be configured as a Flight IIA destroyer. It supports power projection, forward presence and escort operations at sea to address low-intensity conflict / coastal and littoral offshore warfare, and open ocean conflict.
“The USS Frank E Petersen Jr will serve for decades as a reminder of Lt Gen Petersen’s service to our nation, navy and Marine Corps.”
Armed with the US Navy’s Aegis combat system, the 509.5ft-long vessel will feature a cooperative engagement capability, which will enable a number of ships and aircraft to connect their radars when integrated with the weapon system.
This will provide the navy with a composite picture of the battlespace and help effectively increase the theatre of operations.
Built by Huntington Ingalls Industries’ (HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division, the nearly 9,500t DDG 121 destroyer features a waterline beam of 59ft and a navigational draft of 31ft.
In July, the US Navy launched the future USS Frank E Petersen Jr at HII shipyard in Pascagoula.
Designed to replace the Charles F Adams-class (DDG 2) ships, the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers are multi-mission surface combatants capable of carrying out missions such as warfare (AAW), anti-submarine warfare (ASW), and anti-surface warfare (ASuW).

Lynette LaPlace is a young dedicated genealogist who is consumed with her family history (my kind of gene-buddy). She is from the Virgin Islands and traces her maternal and paternal roots to the Danish West Indies and Dominica.
It is a pleasure to have connected with her while researching my Danish West Indian family. As such, I invited her to be a guest blogger on “my genealogical journey.” Please note how she explains how common-named ancestors can be complex to identify during the Danish period.
Her comprehensive research of the Petersen /Boldt family connections of Estate Hermitage led her to find America’s first Black Marine Aviator, Lt General Frank E. Petersen, her 2nd Great-Grand uncle.
Lynnette posts below about her 2nd Great Grand Uncle
If there is one surname that is very common in the US Virgin Islands, then it’s Petersen. You can find this name in St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John, but they are not all related.
Those found in Frederiksted are related in some way, and today I will focus on a specific Petersen family found on Estate Hermitage and how they relate to another surname that has disappeared from the Island completely.
Let me introduce you to Martha, we meet her in the 1841 census. Martha was born about 1807 or 1810 on Estate Hermitage. She was described as being of good moral character. We find Martha living with her son, Francis, in the 1857 census. Francis is of interest to us because he had three sons born about 1864, 1867, and 1870 all bearing the last name Petersen. Francis, or Frank as he sometimes goes by, does not appear with the Petersen surname until the 1870 census.
On May 16, 1874, Francis married the mother of his children, Sarah Jane Elizabeth Franklin.
Francis and Sarah’s second son, Augustus Poulis Petersen, would go on to marry and have children with Anne Elizabeth Dorothea Boldt. They had four children together, while Ann had a daughter and possibly a son from previous relationships.
Another of their sons, Frank Emmanuel Petersen born on July 4, 1905, moved to the United States in 1924. Frank ended up in Kansas where he worked as a radio repairman. He met Edith Constance Southard at the University of Kansas.
Frank and Edith had four children and of their children was Frank Emmanuel Petersen Jr. who was born on March 2, 1932, in Topeka, Kansas. Frank Jr. was a United States Marine Corps lieutenant general, the first African American Marine Corps aviator, and the first African American General in the Marines.
In 1998, Frank Jr. wrote a book titled Into the Tiger’s Jaw: America’s First Black Marine Aviator – The Autobiography of Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen which is available on Amazon.
I wonder sometimes if Martha ever imagined what life would be like for her children or even her great-great-grandchildren.
Thank you very much for sharing, Lynette.

The new Navy guided-missile destroyer carrying the name Frank E. Petersen Jr to be commissioned on May 14 in South Carolina
A warship bearing the name of a barrier-breaking Black service member is set to enter the Navy fleet next month.
The late Frank E. Petersen Jr. was the Marine Corp’s first Black aviator and officer to reach the rank of brigadier general, according to the Marine Corps.
On May 14, the Navy guided-missile destroyer, an Arleigh Burke-class vessel, that was named for him will be commissioned in Charleston, South Carolina, according to The Post and Courier.
“I don’t view my accomplishments as anything that was so much out of the ordinary,” Petersen said in a Marine video entitled “Breaking Barriers.” “The opportunities were there. I’m more proud of the fact that at the time of my retirement, I was the senior aviator in the United States Marine Corps.”
The ship, nearly 510 feet long, will carry 32 officers and 297 enlisted personnel, according to the U.S. Navy Office of Information.
Petersen was born in Topeka, Kansas, on March 2, 1932. He spent two years in the Navy before entering the Marine Corp in 1952. He served in the wars in Korea in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968, and flew more than 4,000 hours in various aircraft and 350 combat missions over his career, the Marine Corps noted on its website.
In 1979, The Marine Corps promoted Petersen to brigadier general. He retired in 1988.
Petersen’s honors include the Purple Heart, the Distinguished Flying Cross, and the Meritorious Service Medal, according to the Marines.
“The barriers that were overcome I feel proud of having been part of that,” Petersen said in the video interview. “But for every bad event that happened to me — I say bad event in terms of the things that may have happened to me — there are counterpoints. So, it’s sort of a balance, the good and the bad, but now there’s a hell of a lot more good than bad.”
But Petersen also said he was proud of his story.
“To put too much emphasis on the racial aspect it’s almost as if to say, ‘Wow, a Black guy did this, a Black guy did that,” he said.
“I’m not being humble, but I don’t want to overplay the issues that because you are Black that you have done something no one else could have done. That’s demeaning to me, so I don’t go for that.”
Petersen died of lung cancer in 2015. He was 83 years old.

Frank E. Petersen 1932–
Marine officer
First African-American Marine Aviator
The End of a Brilliant Career
Sources
Despite enduring racism in the Marines, Frank E. Petersen, Jr. became the first black aviator in the United States Marine Corps, and the first African American to reach the level of general in the Marines. He rose through the ranks, finally becoming a lieutenant general, the first African American Marine to become a three-star ranked general. He proved that one man could make a difference.
Frank E. Petersen, Jr., was born in Topeka, Kansas on March 2, 1932. He was born to Edythe Southard and Frank Petersen, Sr., and was the second of four children. He was an active, intelligent child who played football in middle school and graduated from Topeka High School in 1949. When he went to sign up for the Navy—something he was very excited to do—he did so well on the exam, according to Into the Tiger’s Jaw: America’s First Black Marine Aviator, that the recruiter made him take the test again. This would be just the first incident of racism that Petersen would have to undergo in the Navy.
The military had been desegregated by this point, but racism was rampant, and it would be something that Petersen would have to fight again and again during his entire military career. Blacks in the military in the middle of the twentieth century faced the same biases that females did at the end of it. It wasn’t until the Korean War, in fact, that African Americans served in all the different operations of the military and were involved in all major military actions. “[Petersen] spent most of his time, it seems, fighting genteel and not-so-genteel opposition from whites who, in words like those we hear now about women in the military, claimed that the armed forces were being sacrificed for the sake of the ’social experiment’ of fully incorporating someone besides white males,” said Booklist. After a few insulting suggestions that he would make a fantastic “steward” in the Navy—something that almost stopped him from joining up—Petersen’s father had a small talk with the recruiting officer. After a short wait, Petersen was admitted into the Navy on June 6, 1950 with the promise that he would be sent to the El Toro electronics technician school after boot camp.
First African-American Marine Aviator
Just two short years later, on October 22,1952, Petersen was commissioned as a Marine aviation officer—the first African American to become a Marine aviator. Petersen

joined the conflict in Korea in 1953, and from the beginning he showed himself to be a fine officer and a great aviator. According to the African Americans in the Korean War web site, Petersen flew 64 combat missions during the Korean War and was even awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and six other air medals before the Korean War finally came to an end. Flying missions bent on protecting the U.S. troops from the Chinese communists, he was indispensable to the Marines on the ground.
Petersen also fought in the Vietnam War. There he commanded a squadron of attack fighters. For this role, he was awarded the Legion of Merit and the Meritorious Service Medal. During his stint in Vietnam he was also awarded the Purple Heart because he was wounded in action. In 1968 he won the Robert M. Hanson award for the Most Outstanding Fighter Squadron of 1968 while assigned in Vietnam. And on February 23,1979 Frank E. Petersen, Jr., finally saw the culmination of his hard work when he was named brigadier general by President Jimmy Carter, making him the first African-American general in United States Marine Corps history. The same year saw him named NAACP Man of the Year. In 1986, Petersen became the Marine Corps’s first African-American three-star general, with a rank of lieutenant general.
From August 21, 1987 to June 15, 1988 Petersen was awarded the Gray Eagle Trophy. The Gray Eagle Trophy was first seen at a celebration for the 50th Anniversary of Naval Aviation. The trophy itself, according to the Navy Military History website, is “a silver eagle landing into the arresting gear of the Navy’s first aircraft carrier, Langley. The inscription reads: ‘The Venerable Order of the Gray Eagle. The Most Ancient Naval Aviator on Active Duty. In recognition of a clear eye, a stout heart, a steady hand, and a daring defiance of gravity and the law of averages’.” The award is given to the most senior aviator in point of service in flying and is passed down through the years. Receiving this award was the perfect ending to a strong and honorable military career.
The End of a Brilliant Career
Petersen retired in 1988, as a three-star lieutenant general. After his retirement from the Marine Corps, Petersen went on into civilian life with the same fervor he had shown in his military career. He became a vice president of the Du Pont Company and was a guest speaker during his reign at several prestigious institutions, including the University of Delaware’s conference on “Partnership Opportunities for Success: Across Races, Generations, and Organizations” in 1992. In 1998, Petersen also tried his hand at writing. With help from biographer J. Alfred Phelps, Petersen published his own autobiography. The book discusses the hardships he faced, not only because of war, but because of the racism of his fellow soldiers. It is an intimate look at what kind of perseverance and dedication it takes to make large changes in the world— for Petersen certainly helped to do just that. Into the Tiger’s Jaw: America’s First Black Marine Aviator is said by the Powells.com web site to offer “valuable insight into the evolution of both the military and the society at large through the experience of one man and his family.” J. Alfred Phelps, who worked with Petersen on the book, noted on the Amazon.com web site, “Working with Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, USMC (Retired), was an uplifting experience…. [T]his is the story of a true American patriot…. This is a gentleman who helped the United States Marine Corps to stand up and be counted in the arenas of race relations and social conscience in America.” Frank E. Petersen, Jr., is one of those rare men who fight for what they want, what they believe in, and manage not only to succeed beyond all expectations but also to help others along the way. Those who have interacted with him will not soon forget him, and his influence and change will be felt in the military for a very long time.

He served for nearly four decades.
The Navy is commissioning a new destroyer named after the Marine Corps’ first Black aviator, The Post and Courier reports.
Frank E. Petersen, Jr. was born March 2, 1932 in Topeka, Kansas. He joined the Navy in 1950 as a seaman apprentice, working as an electronics technician up until 1951 when he decided to join the Naval Aviation Cadet Program. By October 1952, he had completed flight training, subsequently accepting a commission as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps, making history as the Marine Corps’ first Black aviator and general officer.
During his time in the Corps, Petersen served two combat tours, flying in Korea in 1953 and again in Vietnam in 1968. Over the course of his tenure, he flew more than 350 combat missions, garnering over 4,000 flight hours in various fighting aircraft. Petersen retired as a lieutenant general in 1988, passing away at the age of 83 in August 2015. Now, the Navy is commissioning a new guided-missile destroyer that will be named in honor of Petersen.
The Frank E. Petersen Jr., is an Arleigh Burke-class vessel that will be commissioned in Charleston. The vessel has already completed its sea trials and is headed to Charleston after it leaves the Inglis Shipbuilding site in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The vessel is 513 feet long with a beam of 66 feet and a 33 foot navigational draft. The ship is powered by four General Electric LM2500 gas turbines and has speed capability of more than 30 knots. Once the ship goes online, it will be homeported at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii, the 33rd destroyer built at Pascagoula with five more currently under construction. The Petersen ship’s motto is even taken from Petersen’s 1998 autobiography of the same name.
“The ship’s motto, ‘Into the Tiger’s Jaw,’ is a phrase used by Petersen many times throughout his life to convey unbridled spirit in confronting and overcoming social injustice and prejudice as well as bravery in combat and courage in the broad sense,” explained the Petersen Commissioning Committee via statement.
Commander Daniel A. Hancock is expected to serve as commanding officer of a 32 officer crew with 297 enlisted personnel aboard the Petersen ship. While the late aviator had no ties to the city of Charleston, it is customary that the Navy host commissioning ceremonies in towns with Navy traditions, Charleston having one of the largest Marine Corps presence in the country.
The commissioning ceremony will take place at the Columbus Street Terminal on May 14th at 10 a.m. The ceremony is open to the public and tickets may be requested at ddg121commissioning.org.
Thank you for your service, Mr. Peterson.

William K. Zinke ’48
William K. Zinke was born on March 13, 1927, in New York City and passed away peacefully in his sleep on Jan. 6, 2024, in Greenville, S.C. He leaves behind his five children—Sandy ’81 (Amanda), Cathy ’83 (Sam ’83) Ach, Ginna (Denny) Martin, Bill ’85 (Brooke Ackerly) and Julie ’89 (Ted) Stikeleather—and his 15 grandchildren. In 1958, he married Barbara Rhodes (Zinke), and they lived with their children in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y., for more than 25 years.
Bill was raised in White Plains, N.Y., and educated at Loomis Chaffee School and Amherst College. He then got his law degree from Columbia University and worked for several law firms in addition to serving as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York. He later served as assistant general counsel at GTE before becoming vice president of industrial relations for the National Association of Manufacturers. In 1969, he established his own independent firm called Human Resource Services, Inc., which did executive search and consulting work. Bill’s biggest legacy was the professional groups he organized, including the Human Resources Roundtable Group, which met regularly to discuss important topics in the human resources and legal fields. Later he founded the Center for Productive Longevity to help business people 65 and older remain productively engaged for longer.
Bill loved the outdoors, which led him to move to Boulder, Colo., in 1990, where he lived happily at the base of the Flatirons for 30 years. In 2017, he adopted his beloved dog, Rocky, who was his cherished companion until the end. His hobbies included hiking, horseback riding, skiing and competitive tennis and squash. He also loved the arts, reading, playing pool and traveling the world.
Bill will be missed by family, friends and colleagues. —Sandy Zinke ’81, Cathy Ach ’83, Ginna Martin, Bill Zinke ’85 and Julie Stikeleather ’89
Stephen T. Kohlbry ’50
Steve died on Oct. 3, 2023, at the age of 95 in the St. Louis area, where he had spent almost his entire life.
He prepped at Webster Groves High School in Missouri. At Amherst, he joined Beta Theta Pi, worked for The Amherst Student and was a senior sports correspondent for the News Bureau. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. After graduation, on a Rotary Fellowship, he journeyed to St. Andrews in Scotland, where he studied history and earned a degree in public health.
During the Korean War, he went to officers’ candidate school in the Coast Guard and was discharged as a lieutenant JG. Then it was natural for him to return to St. Louis and join Airtherm Manufacturing Co., which produced commercial and industrial heating and air-conditioning equipment. It was owned and run by his father. Steve succeeded his dad and was there from 1954 until the company was sold in 2000. Along the way, Steve served on the boards of Missouri Valley College and the United Missouri Bank.
Steve had a passion for music. At Amherst, he was a member of the Double Quartet. In his 80s, he sang with a barbershop quartet in St. Louis. He also enjoyed playing the piano and was particularly fond of ragtime. Hobbies included following the St. Louis Cardinals (he was on the Amherst baseball team) and fly-fishing.
Steve was predeceased by his wife, Laura. He is survived by daughters Cindy Dolan (Jim) and Kathy Mooney (Jim), plus two grandchildren and one step-grandchild. —John Priesing ’50
Geoffrey C. Mealand ’50
Geoffrey “Jeff” Conklin Mealand, age 96, passed away peacefully on Sept. 27, 2023. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, to Arthur and Agnes Mealand.
During WWII, Jeff enlisted in the U.S. Navy, where he served until he was demobilized at the end of the war. He moved on to graduate from Amherst College with a bachelor’s (1950) and a master’s (1952) degree. It was there he met his future wife, Sylvia, through her brother, Dr. Robert Hatch ’50, who was a fraternity brother at Chi Phi.
With his college background in the sciences, Jeff began a long career in research administration with a Philadelphia corporation (now Glaxo-SmithKline). Initially he aided in the development of new pharmaceuticals. Later he joined the company’s new animal health operation.
Retiring to New England, Jeff delved into genealogy. He also followed the New England sports teams. A lover of music, Jeff sang in church choirs wherever he lived and in a men’s quartet aptly called The Eldertones. His retirement also included lots of travel with Sylvia. They enjoyed touring other countries, as well as visiting with their many extended family members.
After a move back to Pennsylvania to be closer to family, Jeff’s last years were spent with his wife in the Cornwall Manor retirement community.
Jeff is survived by his wife of 72 years, Sylvia “Syb” Hatch Mealand, along with their four children, seven grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. A small family service was held at the Indiantown Gap National Cemetery. —Pat Schreibeis
James W. Pierson ’50
Jim Pierson passed away on Dec. 29, 2023, at the age of 96, from Alzheimer’s disease. Jim graduated from Glen Ridge High School in New Jersey and then spent a year in the Naval Air Corps.
At Amherst, he belonged to Chi Psi and was co-captain of both the indoor and the outdoor track teams, winning his A in those sports for three years, as well as in squash. He considered Amherst’s education a great gift. Popular with the class, he was elected class marshal.
Jim went to work for J.W. Pierson Co., founded by his grandfather in 1888. Early on, he diversified from building materials into the fuel oil industry. Under his skillful management, and with the hard work of many faithful employees to whom he was devoted, the company became very successful. At one point, Jim was elected president of the Fuel Merchants Association of New Jersey. Years ago, Amherst magazine featured Jim and his company.
Jim had a keen interest in music, whether it was an opera, a concert or an organ recital. He read extensively, particularly history. Boating, clamming and surf casting on Nantucket were favorite vacation activities.
Few members of 1950 have been as committed and involved in their community as Jim. He was inducted into the East Orange (N.J.) Hall of Fame in 2018. He was a member of the Glen Ridge Civic Council (a community governing body) and became commissioner of the local police and fire departments. He was also on the boards of the East Orange General Hospital and Glen Ridge Savings and Loan.
Jim is survived by his wife, Nancy, and his five daughters, Amy, Catherine, Jennifer, Sally and Phoebe. Jim was proud of his 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. —Catherine Pierson and John Priesing ’50
Donald A. Loos ’51
Don came to Amherst from Princeton, N.J.; joined Chi Phi; was a four-year band member and a political science major; and graduated Phi Beta Kappa.
He joined the Army and stayed there for 20 years, retiring with the rank of lieutenant colonel. He passed away on Dec. 26, 2023, at his retirement home in Sarasota, Fla. Don served in the Army’s G2 division, always proud of his service and the contributions he made to his country. Following his discharge, Don obtained his ASIS CPP security accreditation and led investigations for the Department of Defense On-Site Investigations Agency and the Defense Logistics Agency.
His wife, Kathleen (Woods) Loos, predeceased him. Their three sons, Randy, Scott and Todd, survive, plus grandchildren and at least one great-grandchild.
In retirement, Don and Kathy lived in Sarasota, where he enjoyed leatherworking, gardening, swimming and singing with a men’s group. He also was a member of the Barbershop Harmony Society. Don was an active resident at his Bay Village retirement community; he was a volunteer at Sarasota Memorial Hospital and a member of First Sarasota Baptist Church. He was a kind, loving and dedicated family man known for his hard work. —Everett Clark ’51
Henry F. Bedford ’52
Henry F. Bedford—known as Ted, except by his eighth-grade teacher—passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on Jan. 23, 2024. An educator and author throughout his adult life, he will be missed by family, friends and countless students whose lives he touched over a career that spanned decades.
Ted had a knack for attending schools that he subsequently returned to in a teaching or administrative capacity. He attended Phillips Exeter Academy and returned there in 1957 after graduating from Amherst and earning an M.A. from the University of Wisconsin—Madison. After 25 years at Exeter in various capacities, and after earning a Ph.D. from UMass Amherst, Ted returned to Amherst College as dean of admissions in 1982. He liked to say that his approach to the classroom was to learn as much from his students as they learned from him, an approach that kept him young and vibrant through his lifetime.
Ted’s undergraduate years at Amherst were spent most happily in the classroom and at Phi Alpha Psi—a bit of a conundrum when, 30 years later, as dean of admissions, he successfully lobbied for a more inclusive and progressive social scene that embraced coeducation and closed fraternities as they had existed.
Ted’s scholarly publications reflected his love and fascination for the research and interpretation of history. His most prominent book, which he co-authored, was the widely used textbook The Americans.
Ted met Kennetha McKinley in 1947 in Vermont; they were wed in June 1952 and were happily and lovingly married for more than 71 years. His family would hear him say “There’s the love of my life” to Kennie right until the end. They kept each other in close and wonderful company and were devoted to each other through moves, careers, children, lean times and great times. —Henry Bedford, William Bedford ’78, Jeffrey Bedford ’81 and Caroline B. Langelier
Edward E. Phillips ’52
Edward E. “Ted” Phillips collapsed at home and was hospitalized on the day following a wonderful walk with daughter Jaffy ’88. He was taken to the hospital and died of pneumonia on Jan. 18, 2024.
He was a man for all seasons. He grew up in New Jersey and, after high school, joined the U.S. Marine Corps. Following his honorable discharge in 1948, he interviewed at Amherst with Dean Eugene Wilson. He was a freshman in the fall of 1948 and played freshman football until various joints said, “No más.” He joined Psi U, was a member of the original Zumbyes and sang at their 50th Reunion concert.
In the class’s 50th Reunion book, 52 Pick Up, Ted wrote, “Amherst has been among the very best of the good stuff in my life. There was the small matter for me of opening the life of the mind, and my thanks for that to Armour Craig ’37. I was called Pop, reminding me that I was the oldest member of the class. How deep Amherst runs through the lives of all the friends who are part of my treasured memories.”
After Harvard Law School, Ted began a distinguished career, first as an attorney in Worcester, Mass., and then with John Hancock in Boston. He became president of New England Mutual Life and played a leading role in mobilizing corporate support for underserved segments of Boston Public Schools. He was on multiple corporate, philanthropic and academic boards and received numerous honorary degrees. He was an Amherst life trustee.
Ted loved fly-fishing at the Megantic club in northern Maine and played a mean game of paddle tennis. He continued to sing “the good old songs,” often with Gordon Hall ’52. He was devoted to his wife, Markie, who predeceased him, and their three children. —Jack Vernon ’52
Richard N. Soder ’52
Richard Newton Soder, born on Jan. 17, 1929, passed away peacefully at the age of almost 95 on Nov. 20, 2023, from complications of pneumonia and heart failure. He is survived by his four daughters and multiple grand- and great-grandchildren, as well as nieces and a nephew, all of whom he loved dearly.
Rich was raised in Springfield, Pa., with his sister, Nancy. He excelled at his studies and in high jump. “Rich” later became “Dick” to everyone else.
Dick enlisted in the Navy at the age of 17 and served as an electronics engineer on a submarine tender in the Panama Canal. He then applied to Amherst College on the GI Bill.
After college, with his trademark curious, adventurous spirit, he embarked on a marketing career with Vicks that took him to the Philippines, France and England, where he raised a family with the love of his life, Shirley, of blessed memory. They went on to build their own company by creating and selling witch hazel gel, which they marketed in Europe. It is still today a beloved staple there.
Dad (Dick) had a sharp intellect and could converse on any subject, but his most wonderful trait was his ability to make and keep lifelong friends.
He talked of his days at Amherst, the friends he loved, the learning he loved, the milk he loved in the cafeteria (!), and on and on …
Dad was always grateful for the opportunity to go to Amherst. He remained generous and kind throughout his life.
To his alma mater; to all the wonderful friends who kept in touch with him over the years; to all the new friends he made through his love of bridge in Chapel Hill, N.C., and San Francisco, his family is eternally grateful. Thank you. —Dick’s daughters, Stephanie, Susan, Cynthia and Sarah
L. Stanford Evans ’53
Leland Stanford Evans Jr. of Rochester Hills, Mich., died on Feb. 21, 2023. Born in Detroit, Stan came to Amherst after graduating in 1949 from Detroit Country Day School. At Amherst, he was a good scholar with a broad range of interests, many of which stayed with him for years or led to others—individual sports like swimming, racquetball and golf, or collaborative activities like acting in theatricals. Stan majored in German, graduated cum laude and headed to Harvard Law School.
After graduating with his LLB in 1956, Stan served his required military tour of active duty as an attorney in the office of the judge advocate general at Fort Gordon, Ga. Then he returned to Detroit as a civilian and entered private practice with a downtown law firm. Ten years later, he left that firm and helped form a suburban firm in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., with emphasis on small business assistance, wills, trusts and estate planning. He was active in that firm until his death.
A man of many artistic talents, Stan belonged to the Rosedale Community Players for more than 50 years and played lead roles in many plays, including The Mousetrap, Arsenic and Old Lace, Twelve Angry Men and Proof.
Stan was predeceased by his wife of 45 years, Sharon Lee Evans. They were longtime residents of Bloomfield Hills. Stan will be greatly missed by his two children, Marjorie Killeen (Liam) and Jeremy Evans (Chris), and his four grandchildren, Nick, Emma, Andrea and Colin, as well as Sharon’s sons, Tom Berger (Terri) and Jim Adams-Berger (Sam), and their families. —Written principally by Marjorie Killeen, with additional recall from Stan’s classmates, flavored by Stan’s own words from the class of ’53’s 55th Reunion book
Robert I. Graham ’53
Bob Graham passed away on Nov. 20, 2023, at his senior living residence in Sarasota, Fla. He was born in Westchester County, N.Y., on Feb. 28, 1931. His three older brothers, Jack (Yale), Bill ’45 and Malcolm (Brown), all passed away before him. Before attending Amherst, Bob served as a page in the U.S. House of Representatives (1945–47), where he was able to see FDR’s final address to Congress. Arriving at Amherst, he joined Alpha Delta Phi fraternity (when they were still “legal”) and graduated cum laude with a B.A. in history.
After graduation, Bob served two years in Army intelligence as a field agent in New York City. He then began a long career as an international executive at several companies, including Richardson-Merrell, Foremost-McKesson, Ronson and U.S. Tobacco. These assignments saw him live in five countries across three continents, and he conducted business in 98 countries. At the end of his industry career, he became regional manager in Florida for Veterans Outreach, a nonprofit organization serving veterans and their families in need. His work for Veterans Outreach, where he helped some 3,000 individuals, was one of the most fulfilling roles he performed.
Bob is survived by his wife, June, and four children (one son passed in 2021), four stepchildren and nine grandchildren. To the grandchildren, he was known affectionately as Gumpa. Bob loved reading and listening to classical music and left behind an enormous collection of books and CDs, which have been distributed to the family. He led a long and full life and will be missed by all of us. —Douglas R. Graham ’81
Donald A. Simon ’53
Donald Allen Simon, 91, passed away on Oct. 10, 2023, at home on his farm in Napa, Calif., from pneumonia. His wife and children were by his side.
Born in December 1931 in Buffalo, N.Y., he was adopted by Lester and Lucile Simon of Larchmont. He graduated from Mamaroneck (N.Y.) High School, where he was a champion swimmer and clarinetist.
When I last talked with Don in spring 2023, he was looking forward with enthusiasm to traveling, even in his early 90s. He kept his wanderlust in high gear, but he also clearly loved his Napa farm and looked forward to its future of interesting animals and great wines.
I knew Don at Amherst well. By my recollection, he was captain of the swimming team, along with Roy Graeber ’53. Tug Kennedy was our beloved coach, and we had a winning season. Don was versatile, leading in backstroke and freestyle. He was also musical, playing the clarinet. He was a member of the fraternity DKE.
Following graduation, he joined the Navy (draft deferral was in place) and served for two years. He then entered the field of finance, working on Wall Street and founding an air ambulance insurance company.
His daughter, Anne, lives in Virginia, and son Roger lives in Arkansas. He lost sister Betsy and his first wife, Nancy, but was blessed with his current wife, Pati, with whom he created the farm and loved traveling and exploring. His life was creative and successful, and he gained the respect of his local community and the joy of living.
I think of the quote by George Bernard Shaw: “What is life but a series of inspired follies? … Never lose a chance; it doesn’t come every day.” Don grasped life with zest and lived to the full. —Buck Greenough ’53
Robert Gordon III ’54
Bob passed away in a hospice in Palm Beach, Fla., on Nov. 27, 2023, with his family present. He is survived by Ellie (Mount Holyoke ’56), his wife of 68 years; his children, Robert, William and Elizabeth; and four grandchildren. Another son, Andrew, predeceased him.
Bob came to Amherst from Garden City High School on Long Island. He joined the AD fraternity and ROTC, majored in economics, lettered in track and participated actively in college organizations, including the Student Council, the Christian Association and the Chest Drive. He was elected to the Sphinx honor society.
After Amherst, Bob served as an officer in the U.S. Air Force in France before returning to New York and earning an MBA at NYU. His career as a financial manager was spent mostly with IBM, including time in New York, Florida and Connecticut. A lifelong Episcopalian, he served the church in leadership positions wherever he lived. In retirement, he and Ellie spent parts of the year in Palm Beach, where they were neighbors of the late Dick Soffer ’54 and Jackie Werner; in Middletown, R.I.; and in Kitty Hawk, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Wherever he went, in college and after, Bob was a sociable gentleman who enjoyed and valued the people around him and was enjoyed and valued by them. —Ellie Gordon, Elizabeth Gordon Dellenbaugh and Cliff Storms ’54
C. Andrew Hilgartner ’54
Andy Hilgartner passed away peacefully on June 26, 2023, after a short illness.
Andy attended Phillips Exeter Academy, Amherst College and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. At Amherst, Andy became a member of Alpha Delta Phi, which he served as its corresponding secretary. He earned his ’54 in swimming and engaged in his lifelong passion, singing, in both the Amherst Choir and the Glee Club.
Andy was predeceased by his beloved wife, Martha Bartter, a member of the English faculty at Truman State University.
Andy loved classical music and sang in many choral concerts over the course of his life. He had an affinity for nature and books, particularly enjoying reading aloud to others.
He is survived by his five children, three grandchildren, four stepchildren, 13 step-grandchildren and 12 step-great-grandchildren. —Marsh Rutter ’54
Ronald E. Gregson ’55
Ron was the only member of our class from Vermont Academy. As an undergraduate, he played soccer, was a member of Chi Psi and its rush chairman, was in ROTC and was a stalwart of the Zumbyes, where he was director for two years and responsible for that group’s growth. After graduation, Ron served in the Air Force as a flight instructor for single-engine jets.
In the 1960s, Ron taught secondary school in Southern Rhodesia, earned a Ph.D. from Columbia in cultural anthropology and spent two years doing fieldwork in Malawi. He was an assistant professor of anthropology at Penn State from 1969 to 1972. Ron then shifted his interest from education to the law. He studied at the Antioch School of Law from 1973 to 1976.
Then Ron became a lawyer in Denver, initially for Colorado Sunset Research. In a legal case, he represented employees against both Amherst and Williams. Once he reached a settlement in a case against Amherst after all-day mediation. Ron said, “When I told the defense attorneys, after the settlement was reached, that I was an Amherst graduate, the College’s attorney said they thought there was something special about me!”
Ron’s leadership of the Zumbyes at Amherst and his baritone voice enabled him to perform as the lead in Gilbert and Sullivan operas while living in Denver.
In 2013, Ron moved to the western suburbs of Chicago to be near wife Birgitta’s daughter so the Gregsons could do some babysitting. Years later, Birgitta developed Alzheimer’s, prompting the Gregsons to move to an assisted-living facility. Ron’s daughter relocated him last year to St. Petersburg, Fla., where he used the pool in the backyard and was a regular book reader. Ron died on Jan. 26, 2024. He is survived by two daughters. —Rob Sowersby ’55
Robert S. Lansdowne ’55
Bob had the distinction of having graduated from Amherst twice! The first one was Amherst Central High School near Buffalo, N.Y. At the College, Bob ran track freshman year and then was a stalwart on the cross-country team. He was an economics major and a member of the Phi Delt fraternity.
After graduation, Bob earned an MBA from Columbia. He entered the field of advertising and “spent nearly 50 years of life doing something I like.” Along the way, he worked for a well-known ad agency and was president for five years of a small agency. Recently, Bob worked with clients, assisting them with ad research.
Bob became close friends with both Tylers in ’55. Tyler Resch roomed with Bob for two years. He recalled that Bob had a talent for making quick, wry comments on some of the absurdities he found in life. Although he was in the advertising business, Bob was eager to spot some of its hypocrisies. Bob taught Ty Reed how to ski after almost sliding his grandmother’s car into a Vermont river on a snowy road.
Bob was a Reunion regular, class secretary from 1975 to 1980 and class agent from 2021 to 2022. For one Reunion, Bob prepared a questionnaire for classmates to report a variety of facts about their lives. At another, he ran our golf outing. Bob lived in Pinehurst, N.C., for many years, where he could play golf almost year-round.
Following Bob’s marriage to Roxann in 1980, he became a substitute father to two of her nieces, since their father was in the Navy and deployed on ships. They affectionately called him “Uncle Bob.”
Bob died peacefully on Jan. 23, 2024. He is survived by Roxann and two children from a previous marriage. Bob was a true gentleman. He treated everyone with respect. —Rob Sowersby ’55
David R. Lawrenz ’55
David was born April 28, 1932, in Sharon, Conn., the seventh of 10 children of an immigrant father whose schooling ended at the third grade and a mother who took in laundry to supplement the family income. His family settled in Lakeville, Conn., which was, and is, a small town where the local barber gets to know practically everyone by listening to their stories while he cuts their hair. The barber heard that David was an unusually good student in grade school, and he mentioned this to the headmaster of the nearby Hotchkiss School. The headmaster offered David a full academic scholarship.
David also attended Amherst College on an academic scholarship. At Amherst, he played right guard, wrestled, sang with the Double Quartet and ran an undercover sandwich-and-milk business on campus. In David’s senior year, the Olio attributed the Lord Jeffs’ 14–0 defeat of Wesleyan to the “outstanding” defensive play of David and tackle Harry Steuber ’56. David was also a member of the Sphinx Junior Honor Society and Beta Theta Pi fraternity. The same year that David graduated from Amherst, he married Betty Haddock, a student at Smith College. She died in 2005. David retired in 2010 from the Washington Internists Group, which he had joined in 1966.
Decades after college, David kept up with his singing and was known to family and friends for his frequent renditions of the Amherst College fight song.
David R. Lawrenz died on July 16, 2023. He had dementia and had been in hospice care. David’s survivors include his wife, Ann Hartman; four children of his first marriage, Heidi, Gillian, David Bradley Lawrenz ’83 and Dr. Alice Lawrenz Fuisz ’87; two siblings; and eight grandchildren. A son of his first marriage, Bill Lawrenz, died in 2016. —David Lawrenz ’83 and Alice Lawrenz Fuisz ’87
Peter P. Wickham ’56
Pete Wickham was an optimistic, cheerful, energetic man who was a joy to be around. He spoke fondly of his time at Amherst. Some of his happiest memories involved chemistry, friends and birding. He was active in the Outing Club and lived at the Lord Jeff Club.
He told me that, while he was at Amherst, he was trying to decide whether to major in chemistry or French and chose chemistry because it was the most difficult thing he had ever studied. When I was making my own career decisions, he shared this recollection and told me it was vital to really challenge myself in life.
In addition, Pete loved birding and hiking outdoors. He had some legendary birding adventures with his buddy George Clark Jr. ’57 during his Amherst years. In particular, one weekend, shortly after graduating, they decided to drive south and take the ferry to Nantucket to see some unusual birds. Being typical impoverished students, they were short on cash and decided not to rent a hotel room. They hollowed out some spots to sleep on the beach instead, and everything was going quite well … until the tide came in! They had to move upland, and in their new location, they got eaten alive by mosquitoes until the sun came up. They were still laughing about this trip decades after they graduated.
Dad kept in contact with a number of friends from the class. Erich Cramer ’56 was able to attend Dad’s memorial service on Long Island, and it was so nice to see him. —Nancy Wickham ’89
Douglas M. Williams ’56
Douglas Williams of Peterborough, N.H., died peacefully on Aug. 25, 2023, while visiting friends in Maine. He was born on Sept. 14, 1934, and grew up in Amherst. He attended Phillips Academy and then graduated from Amherst College, where his father was a professor and his mother worked with international students. He was class president for two years and elected to Sphinx in his senior year. He belonged to Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, where he was vice president.
He then attended Virginia Theological Seminary, and after graduation he worked in a college ministry in Florida. Later, in Colorado, he founded an organization to address important issues, and this received significant community support.
His desire to study Jungian psychology took him to Zurich for five years, where he earned his diploma. He offered Jungian analysis to individual clients for the rest of his life. In the 1990s, he developed Heaven’s Mind, near Latacarta, as a place to meet and discuss ideas. These conversations gave energy to changes that were beginning in Peterborough. Doug was part of the group that established the town’s first celebrations to honor Martin Luther King Jr. He also gave a lot of time and support to the early efforts to conserve the land around Cunningham Pond.
Doug leaves behind good friends, many of whom worked with him, sharing books and ideas through various groups that met in his home. He also leaves wife Joy Jacobs, daughter Erin Williams and son Ben Williams. —Hank Pearsall ’56
Edgar K. Anspach ’57
With his wife, Dolores, at his side, Ed died peacefully in his sleep on Oct. 9, 2023, in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. Ed and Dolores retired in Boothbay having moved from the Chicago area, where both worked at Harris Bank and proudly raised son Peter ’88. At Amherst, Ed was a math major, which led him to the computer side of business with U.S. Steel and Burroughs Wellcome and finally Harris Bank as a technical officer.
My friendship with Ed began freshman year. First impression: serious, quiet, wry sense of humor, thoughtful, not about himself. Those traits became more evident through the years at Amherst (Theta Xi brothers and roommates) and beyond. Although geography limited get-togethers, we had phone conversations two to three times a year.
Amherst’s physical education requirement for freshmen/sophomores embraced the ancient Greek principle of mens sana in corpore sano (“a sound mind in a sound body”). Ed committed to this at Amherst and throughout his entire life. For example, he was a regular at the AC fitness center; was on the crew team, one of our “Boys in the Boats”; used a rowing machine in his Maine home; got his MBA at the University of Chicago; and was a devotee of adult education courses.
Always in consideration of others, Ed served as Theta Xi’s vice president and a member of the Chest Drive at Amherst and was active community-wise all his life. On a cold, snowy night junior year, Ed drove me 50 miles to a TB sanatorium in Worcester, Mass., to visit a close high school friend. Genuinely “not about himself,” Ed donated his body to a medical school in Maine to be used for teaching and research.
Ed was a good man, a decent man, a wonderful friend. We will miss him! —Ted Kambour ’57
E.C. Kirk Hall ’57
Edward Cameron Kirk Hall of Chestertown, Md., died peacefully at his home on Sept. 13, 2023. He was born on Aug. 20, 1934, in Merion, Pa., to the late Dorothy and Clarence Hall.
Kirk entered Amherst from Episcopal Academy. He majored in English and was a member of Alpha Delta Phi. Kirk had a great voice and was a member of the Glee Club, Chapel Choir and Zumbyes. He was a mainstay on the Amherst soccer teams throughout his college career and was named an All-American in 1956. After graduation, he obtained a law degree from Villanova and then entered private practice. Subsequently, he became assistant general counsel of Philadelphia Electric Co., from which he retired in 1992.
His many passions included sailing, ocean racing, skiing, scuba diving, woodworking, choral singing and folk music. He was a member of the Cruising Club of America, the Corinthian Yacht Club of Philadelphia and the Singing City Choir. A man of action, he, with wife Gisela, spent 15 years circumnavigating the globe on board their Whitby 42, Serenade. Shortly before he died, Kirk completed a book of his sailing adventures, Following the Setting Sun, which is currently available on Amazon.
Kirk was preceded in death by sister Janet, brother Gordon, first wife Nancy and daughter Jennifer. He is survived by his beloved wife of 52 years, Gisela; his three sons, Cameron, Jonathan and Daniel; and five delightful granddaughters, Hadley, Cooper, Julina, Liv and Mia. —Cameron Hall
Richard M. Hirsch ’57
Richard M. “Dick” Hirsch Sr., of Phoenix, passed away on Oct. 12, 2023, in a Peoria, Ariz., rest home.
A native of Philadelphia, Dick came to Amherst from Upper Darby High School. In college, he majored in economics, was a member of Psi Upsilon and the Outing Club, and participated in football and other sports. Shortly after graduation, Dick moved to Phoenix for health reasons. His fiancée, Betsy Reilly, followed him, and they were wed on Sept. 5, 1959. Betsy and Dick had four sons, Richard Jr., Jeffrey, Walter and Frederick. Betsy was a stay-at-home mother and later a taxi service for her many grandchildren. Dick contributed throughout his active life to his community, coaching Little League and serving for decades as a board member for a branch of the YMCA.
In his business career, Dick was a successful salesman, having worked in emerging technologies for Xerox and Dataplace, selling computer products. He was an entrepreneur at heart, however, and eventually bought a small business that he grew into a solid company that provided jobs for many employees, whom he considered family members.
Dick was preceded in death by his wife and by his parents, Edward F. Hirsch and Louise Irvin Hirsch. He is survived by his four sons, 10 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. —Sandy Gadsby ’57
Ferguson McKay ’57
Ferguson McKay, who died Dec. 2, 2023, from complications of Parkinson’s disease, found his professional calling at Amherst. When he started college, at Harvard, he thought he would major in music or philosophy. But when he transferred to Amherst after a break from college, he switched to English. It was the subject he had had the most trouble with all through school. But it was the one he most cared about.
Ferg excelled in his new choice and went on to graduate school at Yale. As a professor of English at Lyndon State College (now Vermont State University—Lyndon), he embraced creative writing and the narrative. He taught students how to tell their own stories, requiring them to write draft after draft to break away from “the constraints of ‘school writing.’” Ferg also served as dean of faculty, then acting president, and helped bring a nationally renowned meteorology program to Lyndon.
A Renaissance man before that was a thing, Ferg was a delicate writer, tender soul, pragmatist, lover of classical music and good food and L.L.Bean plaid flannel shirts. Although raised in the ivory tower of academia, he had little tolerance for elitism. Ferg judged people by their character, not by their titles or stock portfolios, and was at ease talking to tradespeople and academics alike. He could quote Shakespeare, expound upon the problems of a septic system, figure out why a car wouldn’t start and wonder aloud what astrophysicists know about dark matter. He cultivated a huge vegetable garden, embraced organic food decades before it was a trend, and renovated and rewired a historic family house in Vermont.
Above all, Ferg was devoted to his family: his two daughters and wife Jane Coyle McKay, who, heartbroken by his loss, passed away exactly two weeks after he did. —Betsy McKay ’83 and Peggy Shinn ’85
Howard E. Rotner ’57
Howard Rotner passed away Jan. 3, 2024. He is survived by his three children, daughter-in-law, son-in-law and seven grandchildren. He was predeceased by Sandy, his devoted wife of 62 years.
At Amherst, Howie served as fraternity president (AD), played varsity basketball, and was active in sailing, skiing and many campus activities.
Howard attended Harvard Medical School, graduating in 1961, then becoming certified in internal medicine and endocrinology, and serving two years in an army hospital.
For more than 30 years, Howie practiced clinical medicine. He established several group clinic practices in Boston’s North Shore area. His optimistic, warm, can-do manner, combined with his clinical excellence, administrative skills and strong patient focus, endeared him to all and led to a variety of leadership and teaching roles.
Howie was a loyal Amherst alumnus, attending Reunions, making donations and enrolling daughter Pam ’84, son Phil ’85 and grandson Ben ’18 in Amherst. In recent years, he became a key participant in an Amherst ’57 alumni group (with classmates Kif Knight, Phil Hastings, Dick Anderson, Steve Yale, Bruce Hanson, Stu Tuller, Pierce Gardner and Jim Vernon) that gathered each fall at Kif’s lake house in New Hampshire.
Among his personal activities, Howie was an avid reader, enjoyed sports (sailing, bike riding, golf and tennis), loved cooking, and had intellectual curiosity and broad interests. He was active in civic affairs and local charities.
Howie was a generous mentor to many. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was fun to be around.
Above all, Howie was the paterfamilias whose devotion to family and friends was exemplary.
We celebrate a life well lived. —Pierce Gardner ’57 and Jim Vernon ’57
Alan A. Schwartz ’57
Dr. Alan A. Schwartz, age 87, passed away in his sleep in his home in Cockeysville, Md., on Jan. 25, 2024. Alan (also known at Amherst as Al) was born in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. He graduated from Poughkeepsie High School a year early in 1953, winning the English prize.
He attended Amherst his freshman and sophomore years and majored in biology. He was the stage manager for the freshman show, was a member of Theta Xi and held various unofficial records for point-to-point driving in the area.
He finished his undergraduate studies at NYU, majoring in physical chemistry with a minor in history.
He attended Yale, UCSD and the University of Louisville for his graduate and postdoctoral work in biochemistry. While living in Winnetka, Ill., he worked at G.D. Searle & Co., engaging in pioneering interferon research. He subsequently worked at Miles Laboratories in Elkhart, Ind., traveling frequently to Europe and Japan for business. He moved to Baltimore, working at Becton Dickinson from 1983 to 1997, primarily as a VP of research and development.
Alan was a fencer, an audiophile who built and sold speakers, a Nationals-level sailboat racer, a woodworker and a photographer, and he loved dogs. He drove race cars at Watkins Glen in the 1950s. He was an actor; set designer, builder and painter; lighting designer; stage manager; and theater enthusiast. He was an international expert on model slot car racing and building, distinguished for his early adoption of the hobby in the United States in the 1950s.
He is survived by his son, Steven Schwartz, and his daughter, Marcia Schwartz. —Marcia Schwartz
Walter J. McMurray Jr. ’58
From Deerfield in 1954 to Amherst as part of the class of 1958, with four more years in Illinois for a Ph.D. in organic chemistry, Walt McMurray moved into a career with a life in science, including a brief interlude for just a few years in intellectual property law. Some of his early work involved studies of the first dust samples brought back from the moon. He continued his studies with a postdoc fellowship at MIT under the late Professor Klaus Biemann, after which Walt started his career at Yale School of Medicine as a research scientist in mass spectrometry.
He and his wife, Frances, are proud to have raised four joyful kids (three daughters and one son) with a total of a dozen grandchildren. Initially, they lived in Madison, Conn., and then retired to Old Saybrook for the most recent five years. At one point, Walt decided to move into law for three or four years but then realized that he was much more comfortable in science labs and returned to Yale.
At Amherst, Walt was a friend to everyone, with broad interests and likes in so many fields and subfields that had never even existed in those Amherst days. He was always grateful for the width and breadth he was exposed to at Amherst, which prepared him for his career, for teaching him not to accept the status quo but to stay open to new worlds and new devices. He was a swimmer in the gym and, for his life, was a dedicated tennis player and a gardener. He often reported that if he again had to choose an undergraduate school to attend, it would still be Amherst. —Peter Parker ’58
Wayne A. Holsman ’59
Wayne Holsman passed away on Dec. 23, 2022, in Rutland, Vt.
Wayne was a “townie,” graduating from Amherst High School before attending Amherst College. He was an excellent student, especially in the classics, history and religion, even learning the basic Greek language in his senior year. He was also a pitcher on the varsity baseball team.
Wayne was my roommate during our junior and senior years at Kappa Theta. He was a groomsman, along with Peter Pitarys ’59, at my marriage to Carol in August 1960. We lost contact shortly afterward, and I assumed that Amherst College was not a high priority as his life went forward.
He received his master of divinity degree from Hartford Seminary around 1965. He was ordained a minister in the Congregational Church (United Church of Christ), serving parishes in Massachusetts, New Jersey and Vermont. He taught Latin at the Lenox School in New Jersey.
Wayne and his family eventually settled in the middle of Vermont, and he worked for a time for the Northlands Job Corps in Vergennes. He also assisted organizations that advocated for human and animal rights and for students who wanted to attend college. A recovering alcoholic, Wayne was involved in the AA program to help many individuals overcome their addictions. Throughout his life, Wayne strived to make the world a better place.
He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Eleanor; his daughter, Kristin; three grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. —Tony Hindley ’59
Joshua Shere ’59
Joshua Shere passed away on Dec. 6, 2023, after a 50-year battle with multiple sclerosis.
Jay received his M.D. from Northwestern. Our entire fifth-year medical school class—then known as interns—was unexplainably drafted shortly after the assassination of President Kennedy. It wasn’t until after reporting for active duty in July of 1964 that we learned why: The Gulf of Tonkin incident occurred after all military medicine battle stations were manned worldwide.
Jay was my roommate at Amherst. Although a conscientious student—rumored to have been selected from New Trier by Dean Wilson as a “late bloomer”—he made chemistry look easy. His wife, Vicki, told me that he delved into chemistry in the footsteps of his father, a chemist who built Diversey Corp. in Chicago. I talked with Jay about his service in Vietnam. It was terrible; he was the doctor at a South Vietnamese POW camp and set a lot of broken limbs—presumably inflicted on prisoners by guards. Jay said Dave Borden ’59 was able to get him 100 percent service connection for Agent Orange exposure causing his multiple sclerosis. Despite the support of his wife, Vicki, Jay languished in a VA nursing home for years until his death.
Jay deserves to be memorialized for his heroic service to this country, for which he sacrificed the most productive years of his career.
Joshua is survived by wife Vicky, ex-wife Jane, son Jon, daughter Carrie and grandson Lucca. —John Liebert ’59
Anthony D. Blue ’62
My beloved friend, Andy Blue, died Christmas Day 2023.
Google Anthony Dias Blue and be astounded at what a far-ranging, sensationally successful entrepreneur he was, emerging as our nation’s tour guide to good food and drink and inspiring us with his love of life. But, for a minute or two, learn what I owe him as a close friend.
We met in September 1952, in seventh grade at Riverdale Country School. Our first adventure together found us playing leads, the following spring, in the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta Ruddigore. The next April, fellow Giants fans, we were together opening day at the polo grounds and together before his TV in October when our heroes swept Cleveland in the World Series. We both came to Amherst, both pledged DKE in 1959.
Years later, while an Army reservist, my travels as a musician allowed me to be in a “control group,” excused from meetings and summer camps. It was Andy—not the Pentagon—who alerted me, in 1967, that the Army was ending those groups and I’d have to find a regular reserve unit or face being drafted for 18 months. My friend to the rescue!
But my greatest debt? Starting in our mid-teens, Andy urged me to share his passion for jazz. I spent many weekends at his home, puzzled by strange sounds from guys with names like Phineas Newborn, Horace Silver, Duane Tatro. Nothing doing.
Then one day … Thelonious Monk’s “Honeysuckle Rose.” I literally fell on the floor. Finally, a pursuit I could choose to embrace and which would begin fulfilling this adolescent’s yearning for a special identity. Jazz remains my faith. It’s difficult to put into words how much this gift from Andy has meant to me. —David Lahm ’63
Philipp L. Brockington Jr. ’62
Phil left us Nov. 5, 2023.
He is well remembered for his kindness, his far-ranging interests and his support of art. He came to Amherst from Indiana, went on to Harvard Law School and then returned to Indiana, starting a very successful law career in Valparaiso. After only six years, he switched to teaching at Valparaiso University Law School. He taught business law, but his favorite course was a seminar in law and literature. After 24 years, he retired from teaching and became a full-time supporter of art at the Brauer Museum of Art, first serving as a docent and then writing a catalog of its holdings of American art, as well as making donations to the museum from his own collection. He generously supported the Porter County Museum as well. On the side, he enjoyed playing bridge and hosting meetings of Valparaiso’s famed literary study group, the Mathesis Club. Yet another hobby was painting beautiful watercolors of beloved cats.
Phil’s Amherst classmates knew him best for his warmth and quiet friendship. I was privileged to be a co-resident with Phil at Chi Phi. He, I and my then-fiancée Annick from Smith spent many happy hours together during this time. Annick and I appreciated his caring presence, intelligence and wit. Although our contacts lessened after graduation, they were very meaningful, igniting wonderful undergraduate memories and reaffirming our unwaning fondness for each other. He will be missed so much by so many!
Phil was very kind to come to our 60th Reunion, even though, as the day approached, he had an auto accident and, at the Reunion, was still recovering. It was great to see him and sad we did not know this would be the last time. —John Duryee ’62
Rossiter J. Drake Jr. ’62
Ross Drake passed away on Nov. 11, 2023, after a steely decade-long struggle with Parkinson’s disease.
At Staples High School, where he prepared for college, Ross was known as a prankster, and his exploits continued at Amherst. Lew Sayers ’62 recalls several elaborate hoaxes and various practical jokes Ross masterminded while a brother in Psi U. The trait never left him, even in the business world. He was a great guy with a wonderful, dry sense of humor. Everyone loved being around Ross.
An English major, he went into journalism upon graduation. He had stints with the Middletown Press, the Hartford Courant, Newsweek and TV Guide. In 1974, he joined Time Inc. and was part of a group that launched People magazine, tremendously successful to this day, where Ross served as senior editor and remained until the end of his career. Associates found him to be highly skilled, principled and polite but never intimidated. At the same time, he served as a wonderful mentor and continued to be the consummate jokester. His riotous sense of humor is on full display in his children’s book A Likely Story: How an Innocent Walk in the Woods Became a Showdown with the Forest’s Prime Evil.
Ross was a great sports lover and superfan of the Red Sox and Patriots. Early in life, he became a champion in his own right, using his Jeopardy! TV game show winnings to buy a house.
Ross married Enes Bucciarelli in 1968, a marriage that lasted until Enes’ death in 2022. They had two children, Shana and Rossiter III. Ross III was following in his father’s footsteps when he was tragically felled by a heart attack at the tender age of 34. Ross Jr. is survived by his daughter, Shana, and her husband, Paul Kelleher. The class extends its deepest sympathy for their loss. —Tom Hanford ’62 and Lew Sayers ’62
Michael H. Ellsworth ’62
Mike left us Oct. 7, 2023, after a long, increasingly difficult battle with Parkinson’s disease.
At Amherst, low-key and gentle in his demeanor, Mike made many good friends. And on a freshman-year blind date, he met the love of his life, Mary Ellen Tressel (Smith ’62), who was also—as Mike stressed—his best friend in life. Upon graduation, they were married. Mike, having majored in English, picked up requisite pre-med courses at New York University and then earned his medical degree from the State University of New York. After his residency, Mike launched a career in orthopedics, bringing total joint replacement to northeastern Connecticut, where he established his practice and settled the family into a 200-year-old farmhouse.
His interests were far-ranging. Beyond keeping his patients in good repair, he also enjoyed restoring and repairing the house, his beloved 1937 Ford truck, a 1954 Ford sedan and an aged tractor—“Big Momma”—which he used to mow the fields. He was quite interested in restoration techniques. And his standards were high: patients, house, cars, tractor—all were to be kept in mint condition. Beyond his interests was the joy he and Mary Ellen shared in raising their four children.
He also sought breadth of experience, moving his growing family to Shropshire, England, for part of his residency and enjoying travel to Europe and Southeast Asia. Further breadth was achieved by getting elected probate judge for Eastford, Conn., serving for 11 years, enjoying his exposure to the world of legal analysis. And, as judge, he had the pleasure of marrying all four of his children.
He is survived by Mary Ellen; their children, Robert (Ashlyn), Patrick (Laura), Liz (Andy Brownlee) and Kathleen (Vince Giandonato); and 11 grandchildren. Our hearts go out to them for their loss. —Craig Morgan ’62 and John Hazlett ’62
Alden A. Mosshammer ’62
We lost Alden to parkinsonism July 31, 2023.
When Alden arrived at Amherst back in 1958, it was soon clear that, although he was quietly social, he was truly off on his own, as if held captive by his very active mind. He was our class’s only Latin major, and—double-majoring—was one of two Greek majors. Our other Greek major, George Rousseau ’62, remembers campus encounters with Alden: “He was soft-spoken, deferential, not a natural extrovert, and his quiet disposition belied the powerhouse of historical ideas about the ancient and medieval worlds which he could espouse if prompted. I always delighted in those campus crossings, because I learned so much from Alden.”
After earning a Ph.D. from Brown, Alden went on to have a distinguished career teaching classical studies at UCSD, retiring in 2003, yet retaining intense interest in his subject. He also loved the outdoors, hiking/biking the Grand Canyon. And he adored his family—his wife, Mary, and the four sons she brought into their marriage, whom Alden embraced as his own.
After he was diagnosed with parkinsonism, around 2013, the outdoors was gradually taken away, but classical studies endured. Even during the last years, when he had trouble using his hands and had lost his ability to speak intelligibly, he continued to research and write, almost to the end. In addition to writing and editing numerous papers, he wrote four books, the most important of which is The Easter Computus and the Origins of the Christian Era. It was highly acclaimed for breaking new ground, remapping the origins of our modern common-era dating system.
Alden is survived by his wife, Mary Mosshammer; sisters Nancy Neuman and Margaret Walsh; and his stepsons, Robert, Stephen, Gregory and Jeffrey Furbush. Our class extends its deepest sympathy. —Craig Morgan ’62 and George Rousseau ’62
David A. Nichols ’62
We lost Dave to ALS Jan. 12, 2024.
I first met Dave on the freshman football practice field. He was a hard-running halfback and could boot the ball farther than anyone I had ever seen. Then, in sophomore year, at our first fraternity party as new Chi Psi pledges, there he was, playing the xylophone. “Wow,” I thought. “What a multitalented guy.” Little did I realize.
He seemed able to effortlessly pick up any sport and any musical instrument. Then, when we roomed together junior year, along with Dave Perera ’62 and Hank Fieger ’62, he took up watercolor painting.
We saw a lot of a certain Dot Loofbourow from Wheelock College at weekend house parties during our senior year. It was not surprising that, the week after graduation, we all found ourselves ushering at their wedding.
We lost contact after graduation but reconnected in our 60s when Dave Perera ’62 organized a reunion. Over many beers, I learned about Dave’s career as a lawyer and later a Washington State Superior Court judge. And his successful struggle with lymphoma.
For two winters, we rented ski condos in the same building in Frisco, Colo., where we doggedly worked on our skiing skills. Later, the Nicholses attended our daughter’s wedding in Brazil and visited us in London.
Our last meeting was in August 2023 at the Nichols’ condo in Blaine, Wash. Dave and my wife, Sue, were both wheelchair-bound and neither could talk, although they suffered from different diseases. However, Dave did have use of his hands and could hammer out sentences on his tablet. Even in the silence of ALS, his personality showed through: affable, self-confident, patient, with a sharp sense of humor and an ability to gently poke fun at hyperbole.
Sue died the next month, and Dave passed five months later. —Pete Bellows ’62
Andrew M. Leader ’63
Andy Leader died in his sleep Feb. 14, 2024, at his winter residence in Florida, due to congestive heart failure. Andy worked as a journalist and teacher.
Born in Iowa, Andy grew up in Brooklyn and went to Abraham Lincoln High School along with Steve Arkin ’63. Not joining a fraternity, he was part of the independent Seelye House. He and roommate Rick Lee ’63 were part of a group called the Motleys, playing traditional folk music on banjo, guitar, fiddle and piano at festivals and in coffeehouses. Andy sang in the Glee Club and worked on the literary magazine and at the College radio station, WAMH.
Out of college, Andy worked at the Rutland Herald—where he covered the March on Washington and Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963. Returning to school, Andy earned an M.A. in English literature at the University of Vermont and Trinity College in Dublin.
He married Janet Wark of Barre, Vt., in 1970. They had four sons and a daughter during their marriage of 54 years. After some short jobs, Andy began a 29-year-long career teaching at The People’s Academy, as well as at Johnson State College.
Andy continued playing music, sometimes as a duo with wife Janet. He recorded two CDs of music and published a book of poetry. He had a home built in a forested lot on a rural road in north Middlesex, Vt., the scene of many musical gatherings.
A graveside service to celebrate his life is to be held with family in Middlesex Cemetery, to be followed by a music party with family and friends. —Neale Adams ’63
Frank H. Poole ’63
Frank Poole might be described as a good, kind and gentle man. He was that … and much more. Within, he was a man of strength built on core principles and spiritual faith, all enhanced by humility, an eagerness to learn and a willingness to listen carefully. These are the ingredients of true leadership.
Throughout his pastoral career, Frank worked in numerous parishes and functions around the U.S. and dealt with community social issues as well as individual counseling. Frank and I did not know each other well during our college years. We became deep friends long after we had graduated from Amherst, based on conversations spanning nearly two decades. They took place entirely at college Reunions and at the annual homecoming gatherings at the home of Scottie and Kent Faerber ’63.
These exchanges became quite intimate, as Frank spoke of his personal challenges and growth, and I shared about my alcoholism and wonderful journey of recovery. We found that, while our challenges had been different, the spiritual paths to their solutions had been similar.
This was what bound us together. We had discovered friendship based on faith and trust. I am sure that Frank accomplished this with many, many people in his lifetime. And isn’t that what life is really about? —Onnie MacKenzie ’63
David E. Austin ’65
David Elbert Austin passed away on Jan. 12, 2024, in Anchorage, Alaska, after a hard-fought battle with cancer. Born in Attleboro, Mass., he trained from his youth up to be a classical cellist, completed his undergraduate studies at Amherst, and gained master of musical arts degrees from both The Hartt School and Yale School of Music.
In 1979, he and his piano accompanist wife, Donna, moved their family to a Christian farm community on Chichagof Island in southeast Alaska. Here, David proved to be a true Renaissance man. He worked as a professional musician, music and instrument teacher, band director, violin/cello bow maker, piano tuner, sporting goods store manager, schoolteacher (he loved teaching Latin), church elder and deacon, sawmill builder and operator, commercial fisherman, carpenter, truck driver, mechanic and more. He was affectionately known as “Captain Two Hats,” because he often wore a knit hat over a baseball cap while balancing multiple responsibilities.
Yet music was woven throughout David’s life. He was well known in southeast Alaska for the classical concerts he played with Donna. He also performed with the Juneau Bach Society, with orchestras in Juneau, Anchorage and Fairbanks, and in many string quartets and ensembles in Alaska, Boston and New York.
His wife of 57 years loved that David was a giving, gentle man, and his six children loved him because he was attentive and fun! His 14 grandchildren were gifted with his lifetime example of honesty, dedication and service to others. Someone said that he truly lived Ben Franklin’s quote, “Well done is better than well said,” for his actions spoke so well to everyone who knew him. —Donna Austin
Edward A. Zimmerman ’65
Our fun and funny classmate Ed Zimmerman passed away in Minneapolis in February 2024. Ed grew up in Barrington Hills, Ill., where he was nicknamed “Puck” for his vibrant energy and love of the spotlight—characteristics that we all recognized during our Amherst years!
While at the College, Ed played some football, participated in Glee Club and performed in plays, including one role to celebrate his wild hair, the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz.
As had generations of Zimmermans, Ed attended Northwestern Law School, where he met Beverly Jeane Tyler. He took her canoeing on their first date. They married the day Ed graduated from Northwestern Law School.
Ed was drafted; his and Beverly’s first child, Keri, was born at Fort Hood, Texas. As a member of the Reserves, Ed, with his family, put down roots in Edina, Minn. As they welcomed daughter Lori, Ed opened a practice, Military Law Veterans, to assist soldiers in need—this became his life’s professional calling. Remaining in the Reserves, Ed would occasionally and spontaneously drop down for a set of push-ups to stay fit for his next Army physical. The high point of Ed’s professional life was arguing a case in front of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.
Ed would read and reread The Lord of the Rings, owned many small dogs and entertained his grandchildren. He loved his life and would have been shocked that it did not go on forever.
He is survived by Beverly, his wife of 55 years; daughters Keri (Bearder) and Lori (Ash); brother Jeff; and four grandchildren. —Wally Rodger ’65 and Paul Ehrmann ’65
John H. Fitchen ’67
On Feb. 13, 2024, John Fitchen passed away after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. Known as Gootch, he was a dear friend, delightful companion and entertaining raconteur.
At Amherst, he majored in biology under Professor Yost, then obtained his M.D. from the University of Rochester, a residency in medicine at the University of Oregon Medical School (now Oregon Health & Science University, or OHSU) and a fellowship in hematology at UCLA. His 2019 memoir, Life Through the Lens of a Doctor Birder, noted his history as an emeritus professor of medicine at OHSU, spending nearly 20 years in education. Much of his research focused on gene therapy and molecular alterations and therapies. He also assumed a leadership role at Epitope, Inc., a biotech company that developed the first and only oral HIV test.
Gootch became a respected birder in the Portland area, adding to his publishing credentials, appearing in The Atlantic, Birding, The New England Journal of Medicine and a number of other peer-reviewed medical journals. He is survived by Ellen, his wife of 53 years, and his sons, Matthew and Martin.
He was a true friend, loved by his brothers at Beta Theta Pi, the Amherst Rugby Club and the Amherst football team.
Gootch was loved not only for his knowledge, wisdom and rational thinking but also for his fun-loving approach to life. He was a regular at the Thursday night Beta card games. Sometimes these games would infringe on critical study time for organic chemistry. Then he’d turn around and ace an organic chem test the following day.
Other than Ellen and his boys, no one dominated his attention, although many of us were certain we were his best friend. Each of us experiences his passing as a deeply felt loss. —Bruce Grean ’67, Paul Bunn ’67 and George Fleming ’67
Dal Neth Richie Grauer ’67
Dal arrived from Canada freshman year, an object of some curiosity among his classmates in Pratt South entry. He looked like a displaced lumberjack but was incredibly erudite, far ahead of most of us in his intellectual development.
He was invaluable in discussions surrounding our dreaded English 1–2 essays, growling ideas that seemed obvious to him, yet profound to the rest of us.
Dal was part of the cadre from Pratt South entry that migrated to Beta Theta Pi, an obvious fit for the rough-and-tumble culture of the fraternity. He segued into Beta bar groups with ease, always ready to throw down a few bucks for a subscription keg and pursue a lengthy discussion of matters of deep significance, punctuated by his throaty laugh and wry sense of humor.
Dal was a consummate comedian, irreverently witty and inventively profane, but for all his antic behavior, he possessed a warm and generous spirit which made him an especially companionable friend.
At the end of two years, he felt he had completed his education at Amherst. And apparently Amherst agreed.
He jetted off to a future beyond our sight and was not heard from for many years. Thirty years later, I came across him in Los Angeles, where he was working on a screenplay and paying his bills as a property manager. He still had the throaty laugh and the wry sense of humor.
And he was still the lovable guy who fascinated all of us.
Dal passed away in 2010. —George Fleming ’67, with an assist from Dave Price ’67
David Graham Greenlie Jr. ’67
David graduated from Weston High School in Weston, Mass., in 1963. From an early age, he displayed musical talent and was the first cellist of the Greater Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Marvin Rabin, performing at New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall, Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy White House in 1962.
After graduating from Amherst in 1967 with a degree in English literature, David served in the Peace Corps in Busan, South Korea, teaching English to secondary-school students. Upon return, he was employed at IBM in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., where he met and married Jacqueline Kinsley in 1971. The couple subsequently lived in Cambridge and then Charlestown, Mass., where they bought and renovated a 1790s house on Bunker Hill. David was employed in the IT department at Harvard University and obtained a law degree from Suffolk University Law School in 1981. For a time, he immersed himself in Puerto Rico, staying there for five years.
David died on March 8, 2002. He is fondly remembered by his family and his close circle of friends who enjoyed good food, good company and a libation or two.
Throughout his life, he enjoyed cooking and reading prose and poetry from his extensive library. A friend passed this along as one of David’s favorite verses:
Let dreamers dream
What worlds they please.
Those Edens can’t be found.
The sweetest flowers,
The fairest trees
Are grown in solid ground.
—Robin Greenlie Jenkins (sister)
James C. Gibbons ’69
James Curtis Gibbons passed away peacefully in his sleep Jan. 10, 2024, after fighting for five years through a succession of operations and hospitalizations, for the most part complications of his stepping on a nail.
He is survived by his wife and best friend of almost 53 years, Judy; three children, David, Jorie and Wendy; and three granddaughters. A fourth granddaughter died a year ago in a fentanyl poisoning.
At Amherst, “Gibbo” was a member of Psi Upsilon. Classmates may also remember him as a rower and a football player.
After Amherst, Jim served in the Army National Guard for six and a half years, earned his MBA and pursued a life in finance, most notably with Citibank and J.P. Morgan. A much-honored oil analyst, Jim traveled the world.
Yes, Jim was a grand success as a professional, but the center of his world was his family in New York. He and Judy married young, survived a tiny New York City apartment and five years in Buffalo (the banking equivalent of Siberia?) and raised their three children in Cold Spring Harbor.
Jim traveled widely, but his soul remained with Judy and the kids. When we conversed, he always spoke with pride of both their successes and their challenges. Jim had the perspicacity to see possible solutions and the wisdom to allow them their mistakes and triumphs.
During the last few years, Jim endured physical challenges, and his life necessarily became more sedentary, whether wintering on Sanibel, Fla.; summering in Castine, Maine; or at home in Williamstown, Mass. Unable to remain active, Jim wallowed in significant books, articles and television.
I loved conversing with Jim; he always expanded my understanding and stimulated my imagination. And we laughed! Oh my, did we laugh. I miss the man and cherish the memories. —Paul Machemer ’69
Jamson Sulemani Lwebuga-Mukasa ’70
Imagine fireworks set off into the sky, sparkles heading out into darkness in all directions, except they don’t flame out but continue as the initial beam expands and expands and expands. My dad—“Jamie,” as most people knew him—was one of those fires: he ignited everyone he met.
He was born in Kampala, Uganda, on April 12, 1946, son of Omwami Musa Mukooza and Blandina Nakuumba. After a long illness, he died on Oct. 25, 2023.
He is survived by wife Katherine, seven children and many grandchildren. Jamie and Kathy raised their family in Guilford, Conn., and Getzville, N.Y., and worshipped at St. John’s Episcopal Church and St. Philip’s Episcopal Church respectively.
He graduated from Amherst in 1970 and, by 1975, earned his M.D. and Ph.D. from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine. He went on to complete his medical residency at Yale New Haven Hospital.
Jamie practiced medicine for more than 40 years and published dozens of papers, working as a pulmonologist, researcher and university professor. His research shaped public policy and is well known for investigating how highway air pollution impacts children and low-income communities.
A lifelong photographer, Jamie threw himself into his passion upon retirement. His class’s 50th Reunion included several of his works.
His children have all gone on to fruitful lives and careers in education, the arts, government and business.
Loved and admired by classmates and beloved by his family, his silly and self-deprecating humor was legendary—as in describing himself as “Mr. Wonderful,” especially when he was in the hospital.
Be that person who lights you up:
the one who laughs too loud;
the one who isn’t afraid to say the truth;
the one who dreams again.
Because if Dad saw you, he’d laugh and say: Yes! Mr. Wonderful strikes again.
—Logan Nakyanzi Pollard ’97
Robert Weld Harding ’71
At Amherst, Rob majored in sociology, pledged Deke and partied exuberantly. While he was an imposing 6-feet-plus tall and well over 200 pounds, it was his flair for conversation, accentuated by a Southern drawl, that stood out. We became friends working at Valentine and hanging out at the snack bar.
After graduation, his first jobs were security guard and glow-in-the-dark yo-yo salesman. Next came five decades in the health care patient record-keeping business, playing his role as the industry shifted from paper to digital. Equipped with an MBA from Iona University and 15 years of industry-related sales experience, Rob, with wife Susan, launched FormFast (now Interlace Health), as a home-based business in the early 1990s. Interlace Health currently boasts 1,500 clients worldwide and 70 employees, with Rob’s daughter Allison as CEO.
Circa 2000, Rob won his first bout with throat cancer but sustained damage. He had difficulty swallowing, and lost lots of weight over time. With his lifelong favorite beverage (Coke) and long walks to energize him, Rob kept up his daily routine. His penchant for unexpectedly singing favorite songs while in conversation amused those around him but especially him.
In retirement, Rob focused on family, friends and community. He renewed old friendships and, with Susan, hosted mini reunions at his beach and mountain houses. He generously participated in and contributed to local community and charitable organizations. His interest in history, including family ancestry, flourished.
Rob died peacefully at home from a recurrence of throat cancer on Dec. 6, 2023, with his beloved wife of nearly 50 years, Susan (Hersey), by his side. He also leaves behind daughter and son-in-law Allison and Brian Reichenbach, granddaughters Evelyn and Eleanor, sister Kate Wanderer and her family, and too many others to list.
We are grateful to Rob for keeping us connected over the years. We sorely miss his friendship, generosity and wit. —Dave Tritschler ’72, Fred Schott ’71, Harry LaRacuente ’71 and Dave Crimp ’71
Gregory R. Yaw ’72
Gregory Yaw died at his Lake Erie home on Sept. 29, 2023, from complications of multiple myeloma. Greg entered Amherst from Jamestown High School in New York. Lou Bernstein ’72 remembers him fondly from Professor Nelson’s “American Economy” class: “The assignment for the major paper was to select a small business and write a microeconomic analysis of that business. Greg chose a potato chip manufacturer from his hometown area. Greg was passionate about this company, waxing eloquent about the excellent quality, flavor and freshness of their chips and the competence of their management.”
As a freshman, Greg roomed with Moe Flynn ’72 on the third floor of Stearns. They stuck together for the next three years—two at Phi Delt and one at Valentine. Moe recalls spending hours with Greg listening to rock music, adding that, the summer after freshman year, Greg became an expert in sound systems. “We had one of the best stereo set-ups on campus.”
According to Moe, “Greg majored in American studies and spent hundreds of hours at Frost writing his honors thesis. Some days I wouldn’t even see him. He wrote about the 19th-century Spiritualist movement in western New York. It was supposed to be 90 pages, but he turned in 250.” His thesis won a Moseley Prize.
Greg graduated magna cum laude and went on to law school at Washington University in St. Louis, from which he graduated in 1975. He practiced law in Jamestown for 40 years. Greg was a lifelong swimmer and avid skier, sailor, cyclist and kayaker.
Lou Bernstein ’72 speaks for our entire class when he says, “May Greg rest in peace, with a bag of his favorite Jamestown potato chips always within his reach.” The class of 1972 extends heartfelt sympathies to Kathleen and the rest of Greg’s family. —Eric Cody ’72
Paul Zink ’73
This is a tough time of year for many of us. We’re getting on in age, and even those of us who are healthy know many who aren’t. Radio, TV and all sorts of media are telling us, “These are the people we lost in 2023.” He may not be on any of those lists, but this year, we lost Paul Zink. I can’t say I knew him well in college, but for over a decade, I enjoyed the relationship we developed on Facebook (take that, class of ’24).
Born in Marblehead, Mass., Paul had a more varied life experience and better taste than most people. He sometimes seemed like a British gentleman when he talked about the classic British cars he loved (especially Wendy, his MGB) and his love of attractive women and fine dining. Although Paul couldn’t afford a Rolls, with its famed “Spirit of Ecstasy” hood ornament, he emailed me a photo of two of his loves combined: his MGB, Wendy, its hood adorned by a lovely young woman in what could only be described as a pose of ecstasy. Paul wrote that they’d been together longer than his marriages combined.
Paul studied and loved great literature, and he loved music of all genres. One of his favorites, Lana Del Rey, is the music playing as I write this. Sadly, Paul also dearly loved the smokes that did him in. In the end, he struggled to live.
Paul was a creative director at places such as McCann Erickson and Bose until 2009, when the market he knew changed. He always showed others his best—he was made for that role; his blog featured the motto “Be the person your dog thinks you are.” He was fascinating, with a great sense of humor, and I miss him more than I expected to. Rest in peace, Paul. —Bruce Klutchko ’73
Peter C. Freeman ’74
His many friends sadly commemorate the passing of Peter Freeman in January 2023.
Peter arrived at Amherst from the Chicago suburb of Lake Forest, with reddish-brown curls and a notably mischievous grin. When he started up a waterbed franchise on the fourth floor of Stearns, we should have known he’d wind up in venture capital. Adventurous, lively and wry, Peter brought energy with him always. He loved his community at Amherst and, no doubt, elsewhere too, though he did have a solitary streak. His sports were individual and exacting ones, wrestling and cross-country running; he was always concerned with making weight or shaving seconds. And he pushed himself, quietly training for and running the Boston Marathon in 1972, one of only 1,200 entrants. He finished, returned to AD with a blister that looked like a third-degree burn, and limped for a week, but never stopped smiling. He was justly proud of finishing another marathon not long before our 25th Reunion.
He majored in economics, a rare social scientist in a circle leaning heavily toward humanities majors and pre-meds, and more eager for the world after Amherst than many of us: Senior year, he treated job hunting like marathon training, and met similar success. He started work back in Chicago, at Harris Trust, where he met Susan, and they were married in February 1978. Peter moved from Harris to Wells Fargo, then from Chicago to San Francisco. California held him, but banking couldn’t, and over the course of his career, he invested his expertise in fields ranging from real estate development to renewable energy and, for several years, taught courses at Golden Gate University.
Peter and Susan raised their two children, Crosby and Libby, in the Bay Area. After 44 years of marriage, Susan predeceased him by about a year. —Bill Waddell ’74, with Glenn Farrell ’74 and Buzz Doherty ’74
Jonathan J. Cole ’75
On our first day of freshman year, we saw ambling down a Morrow hallway what looked like a mischievous hedgehog sporting bushy hair, raised eyebrows and a flowing mustache. It turned out to be Jon Cole, who would become our roommate and dear friend, and a person who looked at life in such a fresh and odd way it would often make us laugh until we cried.
Jon, who passed in July 2023, hailed from a bohemian life in Manhattan’s West Village and was a graduate of the High School of Music and Art. He played a dreamy classical guitar and could recite Allen Ginsberg at length, and his hero was Jack Kerouac’s Dean Moriarty.
At Amherst, however, Jon, forged a path away from the humanities. He took Stuart Fisher’s aquatic ecology course and became enamored (OK, maybe obsessed) with ecology and limnology. After Amherst and a Ph.D. from Cornell, Jon devoted the rest of his life to studying the relationship between carbon and freshwater ecosystems. His work on how inland waters play a role in the regional and global carbon cycle altered the way climate-change modelers approached carbon sequestration on land. He discovered that a large fraction of fish biomass is derived from land-based carbon, and, as he often repeated with enthusiasm: “Some fish are made of maple leaves!”
As a senior scientist at the prestigious Cary Institute, Jon published some 230 scientific papers and was inducted into both the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He loved the outdoors, especially wading through ponds of lily pads. He eventually left Cary to move to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. As he once told us, “Scientists don’t retire; they just go ‘emeritus.’” Which, for him, largely meant kiteboarding with his wife and research partner, Nina Caraco. —Brian Dumaine ’75 and Jonathan Hammer ’75
Stafford Carter Noble ’75
We write to share fond memories of our friend and partner-in-song Stafford Carter Noble, who passed away in January 2022, after a period of declining health.
Stafford came to Amherst in 1971 from his home in Columbus, Ohio, with a passion for literature, talent in writing and a stellar singing voice that would lead to energetic and remarkable music-making.
Known for his upbeat approach to all things, Stafford was a standout first tenor with the Glee Club and Zumbyes. His beautiful voice soared in solos, and he blended into a cappella numbers smoothly with perfect pitch. Memories of his ringing solo performances of “Blue Moon” and “Tears on My Pillow” resound in our hearts. He was great fun in Glee Club travels and on Zumbye road trips, dashingly donning his tails or blue blazer and livening up the concert after-parties.
After majoring in English at Amherst, Stafford studied at The American University in Cairo, later returning to Columbus to study Arabic languages at Ohio State. He became the university’s program administrator for Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, a position he held until his retirement.
Stafford’s career saw burgeoning interest in the Near East. His work at OSU helped the curriculum extend beyond Hebrew and Arabic into other languages and cultures. He worked with colleagues, developing immersive study-abroad programs and interdisciplinary curricula that helped students situate their language studies in historical and real-world contexts.
Stafford is survived by his wife, one brother and two nieces, who were said to be the “lights of his life.” He was very much a bright light in our lives at Amherst. We celebrate the memory of his song, his dry wit, his even-tempered manner, his camaraderie and his friendship. —Chauncey Benedict ’75 and Bennett Ojserkis ’75
Ajay Holla “Bob” Murthy ’94
If you spent any time with Ajay “Bob” Murthy, you had some good belly laughs—the kind where you choke on your drink and wonder, “How did he think of that?!” His timing was impeccable. Bob was clever and self-deprecating and remembered details about the craziest things. And he was really, really smart. Even in a place filled with so-called smart kids, the brilliant way his mind worked was both unique and intimidating. Yet, at the same time, he was charming and humble.
Bob was always game for hanging out, whether it was playing cards, talking movie trivia or a late-night run to Cumbie’s. And that was the thing about Bob—just hanging out. You didn’t need to be doing anything specific with Bob to feel like it was time well spent. He was a great friend, and those of us who knew him are pondering where that youthful joy has gone.
Bob and his wife, Heddie, made a great team, handling the myriad demands of work and raising four children and several dogs. Some years back, one of Bob’s daughters needed regular care at Boston Children’s Hospital, and their visits let us witness firsthand Bob and Heddie’s love and devotion to their kids.
With all his talents, Bob’s success was a foregone conclusion: He had a rich professional life, working in finance and wealth management at several name-brand institutions. He was also involved in multiple charities for children’s health, as well as Baton Rouge civic activities and his church. While he remained a diehard and frustrated Cleveland Browns fan, he willingly embraced Louisiana State University (LSU) programming and athletics. He spent many fall weekends with family and friends at LSU games. No doubt, Bob’s charm and wit will be missed in the Baton Rouge community, too.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - The United States Navy accepted the delivery of a new guided-missile destroyer in November. It is named in honor of US Marine Corps Lieutenant General Frank E. Petersen Jr. who graduated from Topeka High School.
The USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. DDG 121 will soon set sail. The destroyer is named for the United States Marine Corps Lieutenant General Frank E. Petersen Jr.
“Growing up in Topeka, KS, he would lay in bed and listen to the airplanes flying overhead and he could identify the maker and the model of the airplane that was flying overhead. he was a kid who always wanted to fly,” Dana Moore, Petersen’s Jr. daughter said.
In September this year, the destroyer successfully completed acceptance trials after spending two days at sea for the final round of trials. The destroyer was christened in October 2018.
The Topeka native graduated from Topeka High School in 1949, went to Washburn University for a short time, then enlisted in the navy in 1950.
“The navy had already had a black pilot, the marine corps had not so he chose the Marine Corps,” Moore said.
Two years later, he became a pilot, making him the first African-American Marine Corps Aviator, he would later become the first African-American promoted to the rank of general in the marines.
“The thing I always remember was every time a plane flew over I would reach out to the sky and say hello uncle buddy,” Petersen’s niece, Debbie Dirden said.
“During that time that it was so important for all black men or all black families to do their best, to be their best,” Petersen’s niece, Patricia Leal-Mack said.
“When dad would take off or land the plane all the black people would come out and watch,” Petersen’s daughter, Gayle Petersen said. “It was just a beautiful thing to see, so he was very impressive to a lot of people to us he was just daddy.”
As the first African-American to command a fighter squadron, a fighter air group, an air wing, and a major base, Peterson flew more than 350 combat missions during the Korean and Vietnam wars between 1953 and 1968.
Moore explained that while Petersen was on one combat mission in Vietnam in 1968, Petersen’s plane was shot down, “I remember when dad was shot down and we were living in California and very scary to almost think that we lost our dad. When we lived in Topeka, KS our dad was in Korea. Frank said that our dad would always put us in a safe and good place.”
His family says it wasn’t easy for him to pursue his dreams.
“Being the first black in the 1960s to do anything carried a lot he was the first to do it and it was hard and it was not there were a lot of false barriers there were a lot of challenges that were put up there were a lot of false pressures,” Moore explained.
“I remember he would tell the story of how he was of course the senior ranking officer and people wouldn’t salute him and there was a man that wouldn’t salute him, and rather than get into a firefight about it, he just say can you at least salute the uniform, you may not want to salute me as a black man but at least salute the uniform,” Frank E. Petersen III explained. “I can remember 5 am in the morning waking up and dad was there shining his shoes right his shoes were unbelievable. One of the things dad said to me is ‘no matter how bad things seem, there’s always at least one person that’s going to do the right thing.”
But, he stuck to his motto of “frank owning the fight, “and what kept him going was just that, because he understood how to win the war and not try to win battles,” Frank Petersen III emphasized.
“The best time of our lives because all the years he was away and fighting wars and doing what he needed to do to preserve justice and freedom and fairness for this country,” Moore said.
In 1986, Peterson Jr. was inducted into the Topeka High School historical society’s hall of fame.
“The fact that Topeka High has put him into the Hall of Fame, and has a room with so much of his memorabilia and that students not yet born will be in that space and see his name and have the opportunity to learn about what happened there in their school is phenomenal,” Moore said.
“I think he would be flabbergasted in a way to have such an honor,” Frank Petersen III added.
“I think if he were here, he would probably say “take me to the engine room and let me run this thing,” Moore and the family laughed. ”It’s wonderful to know that that legacy will continue on.”
The destroyer will be commissioned in Charleston, South Carolina in spring, then, sail to Hawaii where it will be based.
Peterson passed away in 2015. He wrote a book about his career. it’s titled “Into The Tiger’s Jaw.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE _ Frank E. Petersen Jr., the first African-American aviator and brigadier general in the U.S. Marine Corps, has died.
Frank E. Petersen III said his father died Tuesday at his home on Maryland’s Kent Island of complications from lung cancer. He was 83.
The New York Times reported that Petersen enlisted in the Navy in 1950, two years after President Harry Truman desegregated the armed forces.
The next year, Petersen entered the Naval Aviation Cadet Program, according to The Washington Post.
According to a news release on the Marine Corps website, Petersen was commissioned in the corps in 1952. The Marines say Petersen served in the Korean War in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968. He received the Purple Heart for wounds suffered when he ejected over the demilitarized zone in Vietnam, The Post reported.
During his career, Petersen flew more than 350 combat missions and more than 4,000 hours.
His son said, “As he moved us kids from base to base, he really enjoyed getting us out on adventures. Any time you went on a journey with Dad, you were in for a hell of a ride.”
Petersen was promoted to brigadier general in 1979. He retired in 1988.
His son said Petersen loved living on the Chesapeake Bay and loved being on the water.
As tough as he had to be as a Marine, his son said, “He was as peaceful and gentle as you could ask a dad to be and was always there for us.”
Petersen said his father never complained, “even to his last day. You couldn’t ask for a better father.”

Close to 2,000 people gathered at the Port of Charleston to celebrate the commissioning of a new Navy destroyer named for the Marine Corps’ first Black aviator.
The USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. was shrouded in a light fog the morning of May 14 as it sat in Charleston Harbor. The men and women who make up the ship’s crew, or its “lifeblood and soul,” as a U.S. Navy chaplain described them, stood at attention during the event.
The destroyer is a fighting vessel. As the crew took positions on the ship during the ceremony’s crescendo, its guns oscillated, cannons shot confetti and two fighter jets screamed across the morning sky.
Commander Daniel A. Hancock is the commissioning captain of the warship, responsible for sailing her to her homeport in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
“This American man-of-war, which my team and I labored to life, represents the cutting edge of U.S. Naval combat power,” Hancock told the crowd. “And, as of today, she’s America’s newest and most advanced guided-missile destroyer ever designed.”
Speakers at the ceremony said it was fitting the warship is named for Frank E. Petersen Jr., a Black man from Topeka, Kansas, who is remembered for his valor and courage during two combat tours in Korea and Vietnam.
Petersen joined the Navy as a seaman apprentice in 1950. He later accepted a commission as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps and, despite brutal racial indignities, rose through the military’s ranks, eventually retiring a lieutenant general in 1988. He flew in more than 350 combat missions, and had over 4,000 hours in various fighter planes, according to the Navy.
Petersen’s ferocious fighting spirit is captured in his catchphrase, which was emblazoned on a banner at the ceremony: “Into the Tiger’s Jaw.”
In an emotional speech, his longtime friend and fellow Naval aviator Carlos Campbell spoke of the prejudice he and Petersen, as well as other Black servicemen, had to overcome in breaking the military’s racial barriers.
Campbell said Petersen was told he would make a good mess steward, a low-ranking service position, when he first enlisted in the Navy. Later in his career, he was arrested on suspicion of impersonating an officer by police, who apparently did not believe a Black man could be a high-ranking serviceman.
Petersen learned from an early-morning phone call in 1979 he had been promoted to brigadier general, Campbell remembered. Petersen vomited over the side of the roiling ship upon learning the news.
Petersen died in 2015 at the age of 83. Fighting back tears, Campbell said it was “surreal” to see so many Black officers in the crowd at the ceremony.
Campbell said he has been to 55 countries, but when he returns to America, he “wants to kiss the ground.”
“Because this is the greatest country in the world,” he said. “And the best thing I ever did in my life was serve in the Navy.”
U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace noted in a speech the significance of the ship’s commissioning in the Charleston Harbor. Almost 160 years ago to the day, Robert Smalls and several other Black slaves commandeered a Confederate ship from the harbor’s dock and delivered it to the Union Navy.
“I can think of no better place to recognize a man, a legend, and an American war hero like Lieutenant General Petersen,” Mace said.
The USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. is the third ship to be commissioned in Charleston in recent years.
The USS Charleston and USS Ralph Johnson were commissioned in 2019 and 2018, respectively. The USS Ralph Johnson was named in honor of a Black Marine killed after he jumped on a grenade to save fellow soldiers in Vietnam.

Topeka native and military trailblazer Frank E. Petersen Jr. often used the phrase "Into the Tiger's Jaw" to convey courage and spirit in confronting danger and social injustice.
That was the title of Petersen's autobiography, published in 1998.
Now "Into the Tiger's Jaw" is the motto of the guided missile cruiser that bears his name.
Commissioning ceremonies will be at 9 a.m. Saturday in Charleston, S.C., for the USS Frank E. Petersen Jr., a guided missile destroyer that will be part of the Pacific Fleet.
A free live stream broadcast of the commissioning will be available for viewing at bit.ly/TopPetersen.
The ship's 32 officers and 297 enlisted personnel are led by Commander Daniel Hancock.
Frank E. Petersen Jr. was first Black aviator, Black general in Marines
The vessel is named after Petersen, who rose to the rank of lieutenant general and became the first Black aviator and the first Black general in Marine Corps history.
Petersen also served combat tours in 1953 in Korea and in 1968 in Vietnam. He flew more than 350 combat missions and 4,000 military aircraft hours during those wars.
Peterson was born in 1932 in Topeka. He graduated in 1949 from Topeka High School, enlisted in 1950 in the Navy, then left in 1952 to accept a commission as a second lieutenant and become a pilot in the Marine Corps.
While training in Florida, Petersen was ejected from a public bus for refusing to sit in the back, according to an obituary published in the New York Times.

In Hawaii, the obituary said, a landlord refused to rent a house to Petersen and his wife, then admitted to a subsequent prospect that he did so because they were Black.
Peterson retired in 1988 from the Marines as a three-star general and the senior aviator on active duty in the U.S. military.
President Obama put native Topekan Frank E. Petersen on Naval Academy board in 2010
President Barack Obama appointed him in 2010 to the Board of Visitors to the U.S. Naval Academy, which monitors morale, instruction and other matters.
Petersen died at age 83 in 2015 at his home in Maryland.
The Navy announced in 2016 that Petersen would be the namesake of an Arleigh-Burke Class destroyer, for which construction had begun that year at Pascagoula, Miss.

The ship's keel was laid in 2017. It was launched in 2018 and christened later that year.
The U.S. government last November accepted delivery of the ship.

He made history 44 years ago today!
Frank E. Petersen Jr. was born on March 2, 1932 in Topeka, Kansas, the U.S. Marine Corpsreports. According to BlackPast.org, he first joined the U.S. Navy in 1952, working as an electronics technician. Petersen later applied for the Naval Aviation Cadet Corps, completing his training and becoming a second lieutenant, making history as the first Black pilot in the Marine Corps. Petersen served in the Korean War in 1953 and the Vietnam war in 1968, earning six air medals, the Distinguished Flying Cross and flying more than 350 combat missions and more than 4,000 hours, earning the Purple Heart in 1968.
On February 23, 1967, Petersen made history as the first African-American to be promoted to the rank of brigadier general, serving 38 total years in the Navy and 36 as a Marine before his retirement on August 1, 1988. During that time, he also received his bachelor’s degree then a master’s in International Affairs in 1973, both from George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
Over the course of his career, he served as Special Assistant to the chief of Staff, as a member of the Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 212, as part of the Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314, and as the commanding general of the Marine Corps Combat Development Command. He also earned a Meritorious Service Medal for his work, garnering more than twenty medals for bravery in combat and serving as a senior ranking Marine Corps and Navy pilot from 1985 to 1988.
Petersen was a true pioneer and inspired a legion of other Black Marines after him, including Lt. Gen. Michael Langley, who recently became the first Black four-star general in the United States Marine Corps’ 240+ year history. After retirement, he continued his work with educational and research organizations like the Tuskegee Airmen, the national Aviation Research and Education Foundation, and Dupont Aviation, where he served as vice president. He passed away on August 25, 2015 at the age of 83. Last year, the Navy commissioned a new guided-missile destroyer named in Petersen’s honor.
“The ship’s motto, ‘Into the Tiger’s Jaw,’ is a phrase used by Petersen many times throughout his life to convey unbridled spirit in confronting and overcoming social injustice and prejudice as well as bravery in combat and courage in the broad sense,” explained the Petersen Commissioning Committee via statement.
As of July 2014, Petersen’s contributions to the Marine Corps are preserved in the House of Representatives Congressional Records archives. We remember his life and his work and we salute General Petersen. Because of him, we can!

A ship named after the first Black aviator and general officer in the Marine Corps will be commissioned on Saturday, May 14, 2022.
According to a press release from the Navy, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, the future USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG 121), will be commissioned, honoring Petersen Jr., the first African American Marine Corps aviator and the first African American Marine Corps officer to be promoted to brigadier general. He died on Aug. 25, 2015.
Following the vessel’s commissioning, Frank E. Petersen Jr. will be homeported at Hawaii’s Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.
A 2002 graduate of the United States Naval Academy, Cmdr. Daniel Hancock is the vessel’s commanding officer and guides the core crew of 32 officers and 297 enlisted personnel. The ship, which is nearly 510 feet long and has a beam of 59 feet and a navigational draft of 33 feet, was constructed by Ingalls Shipbuilding in a shipyard located in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The ship is capable of speeds in excess of 30 knots due to having four General Electric LM 2500-30 gas turbines and two shafts.
On March 2, 1932, Peterson was born in Topeka, Kansas, and was commissioned in the Marine Corps in 1952. He had previously served two years in the U.S. Navy. Petersen also served during the Korean War in 1953 and 15 years later in Vietnam in 1968. The aviator flew more than 350 combat missions and had more than 4,000 hours in various military aircraft.
On Feb. 23, 1979, Petersen was promoted to brigadier general, making him the first African American to hold that rank in the Marine Corps.
Petersen retired as a lieutenant general on Aug. 1, 1988, after serving as the Special Assistant to the Chief of Staff. His commands include Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 212, which was deactivated on March 11, 2008, and Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314. He also served as the commanding general of the Marine Corps Combat Development Command.
During his military career, Petersen’s awards include the Navy Distinguished Service Medal, Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit with valor device, Distinguished Flying Cross, Purple Heart, and the Meritorious Service Medal.
His actions were recorded in the Congressional Record as part of the archives of the House of Representatives on July 28, 2014.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - The United States Navy accepted the delivery of a new guided-missile destroyer in November. It is named in honor of US Marine Corps Lieutenant General Frank E. Petersen Jr. who graduated from Topeka High School.
The USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. DDG 121 will soon set sail. The destroyer is named for the United States Marine Corps Lieutenant General Frank E. Petersen Jr.
“Growing up in Topeka, KS, he would lay in bed and listen to the airplanes flying overhead and he could identify the maker and the model of the airplane that was flying overhead. he was a kid who always wanted to fly,” Dana Moore, Petersen’s Jr. daughter said.
In September this year, the destroyer successfully completed acceptance trials after spending two days at sea for the final round of trials. The destroyer was christened in October 2018.
The Topeka native graduated from Topeka High School in 1949, went to Washburn University for a short time, then enlisted in the navy in 1950.
“The navy had already had a black pilot, the marine corps had not so he chose the Marine Corps,” Moore said.
Two years later, he became a pilot, making him the first African-American Marine Corps Aviator, he would later become the first African-American promoted to the rank of general in the marines.
“The thing I always remember was every time a plane flew over I would reach out to the sky and say hello uncle buddy,” Petersen’s niece, Debbie Dirden said.
“During that time that it was so important for all black men or all black families to do their best, to be their best,” Petersen’s niece, Patricia Leal-Mack said.
“When dad would take off or land the plane all the black people would come out and watch,” Petersen’s daughter, Gayle Petersen said. “It was just a beautiful thing to see, so he was very impressive to a lot of people to us he was just daddy.”
As the first African-American to command a fighter squadron, a fighter air group, an air wing, and a major base, Peterson flew more than 350 combat missions during the Korean and Vietnam wars between 1953 and 1968.
Moore explained that while Petersen was on one combat mission in Vietnam in 1968, Petersen’s plane was shot down, “I remember when dad was shot down and we were living in California and very scary to almost think that we lost our dad. When we lived in Topeka, KS our dad was in Korea. Frank said that our dad would always put us in a safe and good place.”
His family says it wasn’t easy for him to pursue his dreams.
“Being the first black in the 1960s to do anything carried a lot he was the first to do it and it was hard and it was not there were a lot of false barriers there were a lot of challenges that were put up there were a lot of false pressures,” Moore explained.
“I remember he would tell the story of how he was of course the senior ranking officer and people wouldn’t salute him and there was a man that wouldn’t salute him, and rather than get into a firefight about it, he just say can you at least salute the uniform, you may not want to salute me as a black man but at least salute the uniform,” Frank E. Petersen III explained. “I can remember 5 am in the morning waking up and dad was there shining his shoes right his shoes were unbelievable. One of the things dad said to me is ‘no matter how bad things seem, there’s always at least one person that’s going to do the right thing.”
But, he stuck to his motto of “frank owning the fight, “and what kept him going was just that, because he understood how to win the war and not try to win battles,” Frank Petersen III emphasized.
“The best time of our lives because all the years he was away and fighting wars and doing what he needed to do to preserve justice and freedom and fairness for this country,” Moore said.
In 1986, Peterson Jr. was inducted into the Topeka High School historical society’s hall of fame.
“The fact that Topeka High has put him into the Hall of Fame, and has a room with so much of his memorabilia and that students not yet born will be in that space and see his name and have the opportunity to learn about what happened there in their school is phenomenal,” Moore said.
“I think he would be flabbergasted in a way to have such an honor,” Frank Petersen III added.
“I think if he were here, he would probably say “take me to the engine room and let me run this thing,” Moore and the family laughed. ”It’s wonderful to know that that legacy will continue on.”
The destroyer will be commissioned in Charleston, South Carolina in spring, then, sail to Hawaii where it will be based.
Peterson passed away in 2015. He wrote a book about his career. it’s titled “Into The Tiger’s Jaw.”

DDG121 will continue the lifelong mission of the General, to protect and safeguard this nation and the world. DKWF applauds the christening in honor of the General, a Korean War veteran. I look forward to joining the Petersen family, the Commandant for the U.S. Marine Corp and the U.S. Navy to witness and celebrate this historic day in Pascagoula, Mississippi,” said Justin Rhee, DKWF President.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Frank E. Petersen Jr., the first black aviator and brigadier general in the Marine Corps, has died.
Frank E. Petersen III said his father died Tuesday at his home in Stevensville, on Maryland's Kent Island, of complications from lung cancer. He was 83.
The New York Times reported that Petersen enlisted in the Navy in 1950, two years after President Truman desegregated the armed forces.
The next year, Petersen entered the Naval Aviation Cadet Program, according to The Washington Post.
According to a news release on the Marine Corps website, Petersen was commissioned in the corps in 1952. The Marines say Petersen served in the Korean War in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968. He received the Purple Heart for wounds suffered when he ejected over the demilitarized zone in Vietnam, The Post reported.
During his career, Petersen flew more than 350 combat missions and more than 4,000 hours.
"As he moved us kids from base to base, he really enjoyed getting us out on adventures. Any time you went on a journey with Dad, you were in for a hell of a ride," his son said.
Petersen was promoted to brigadier general in 1979. He retired in 1988.
His son said Petersen loved living on the Chesapeake Bay and loved being on the water.
As tough as he had to be as a Marine, his son said, "He was as peaceful and gentle as you could ask a dad to be and was always there for us."
Petersen said his father never complained, "even to his last day. You couldn't ask for a better father."

Here's what former students have to say...
"Not a day goes by when I am not thankful for the education I received at Frank H. Peterson. Because of the time I invested in high school learning Graphic Design, I was able to breeze through my college program and create a stand-out portfolio. I had an agency job shortly after graduation! Thankful for my mentors and instructors!"
~ Leah Crawford,
Communications Academy Graduate
“I've been into cars my whole life and enrolled in the Automotive Academy at Peterson. Having a skilled trade taught to me as a high schooler helped put me in the spot I am today. I loved every minute of being in the shop, especially when we could bring our own vehicles in. I’m very thankful for the years I spent Peterson and the connections I made along the way.”
~ Daniel Griffin
Automotive Academy Graduate

Good morning all!
I’m brand new here and have been lurking for a while after coming across some of the great postings on flight jackets during my Googling.
I’m based in the UK and I wanted to seek some advice on sourcing and attaching the right squadron patches/name tags for a project I have for my first G-1. I originally posted over on The Fedora Lounge
As I'm new, just a bit of background from me! Many years ago while at university I got my hands on my first leather flight jacket (I already owned a classic green B-15). It was an Avirex made Ed Overend Flying Tigers A-2 I bought pre-owned. I eventually gifted it to my brother as my desire was always for a G-1. I’m a lifelong armchair aviator and have always been more drawn to naval aviation, be it the US, Royal or any other Navy!
Similar to this great creation from another poster https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/g-1-patching-help.93981/ I wanted to finally get a reasonably priced G-1 and patch it in honour of a great aviator I admire, Lieutenant General Frank E. Petersen, USMC. If you haven’t heard of him please give his name a quick Google and check out his autobiography, “Into The Tigers Jaw” - he was the first African-American Marine Corps aviator and the first African-American Marine Corps General. I was hoping to patch it in relation to his time as CO of VMFA-314 (he was a Colonel at the time).
So, for my creation there's two questions:
1. The Jacket
I was originally after the G-1 55J14 that AVI LTHR produce but they seem to be very inactive over there and advice from some other posters over on TFL recommended checking out Five Star Leather. I'm sure there will be others here who've purchased from them so would love any input before I reach out to them with specifics. Also, I'm not after a distressed looking jacket, I'd like something new I can have to age with me and get it's own patina and nicks and scrapes!
2. Patches/Name Tag
I've seen lots of great leather squadron patches which I think are more of a recent trend (correct me if I'm wrong) but obviously creating an authentic style would require a classic embroidered patch. I came across popularpatch.com and flightjacket.com, both US based sites and immediately found the VMFA 314 patch for the right breast:
As well as the MCAS Miramar patch (where 314 are based) for one of the sleeves. This is obviously a more recent looking patch so for more authenticity of the 60's/70's era I may not go for this but would welcome the advice from veteran aviators or those more knowledgeable :
For the name tag it seems this would be closest to what would've been seen in the era (again please advise if you were there) with the Eagle, Globe & Anchor replaced with Naval Aviator insignia. Looking at the USMC regulations the rule is first initials only, whereas Navy allow for initials or first name:
I've seen on Five Star's site they state that they can produce name tags as well but would look to advise them on producing the most accurate name tag for the error - which if they can't produce I'd source from flighjackets.com or another perhaps.
Appreciate all input and have a great day!
-Q
Hey Quari
Welcome to the forum! That sounds like an interesting project you are putting together. I get the part about wanting to purchase a new jacket that you can wear and age yourself , but my initial thoughts on your tribute jacket are , You are putting together a pretty detailed representation of a specific jacket , worn by a specific person . So there’s elements of accuracy and details that have to be addressed. Why not go the extra mile and find an original G-1 in nice shape that gets you even closer to what General Peterson actually wore. The prices for original G-1s are fairly reasonable and an original wouldn’t be much more money that a repro. It would certainly add a lot in terms of accuracy and value to your project . Just my opinion . Good Luck with your efforts and please post some photos of the jacket once it’s completed .
Cheers
Thanks, I’ve kept an open mind on this so I will take a look at some originals; I’ve always wanted a G-1 first and foremost and then after reading about Gen Petersen I thought combining the two could be perfect.
I was a bit hesitant about an original as I was concerned about the condition and also just wanting to make something my own; something didn’t feel right about owning one of these great pieces of aviation history that belonged to an aviator (I wonder why someone would even give it up!) but to be fair if I’m really creating a tribute why not go all the way! Perhaps the next one could be brand new and all mine!

JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii– The Navy’s newest Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (DDG 121), arrived at its homeport at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam June 13, after completing its maiden voyage from Charleston, South Carolina where the ship was commissioned.
"This warship honors the legacy of a great American, symbolized in US steel and manifested in the proud Sailors before you. My crew and I share a deep sense of pride and honor to represent our namesake, the late Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr., USMC," said Cmdr. Daniel Hancock, Frank E. Petersen, Jr.'s commanding officer. "We are excited to call Hawaii home, a place that holds fond memories for the Petersen family who served here. We look forward to being good neighbors in the community. In Pearl Harbor, history is not only studied but lived every day. We know that war can come at any time but we know that we will not be alone; we are enthusiastic about joining our fellow greyhounds in Destroyer Squadron 31 - Ke Koa O Ke Kai - The Warriors of the Sea. This ship is fast, formidable, and built to fight and win in the Pacific Theater. This is a great ship, with a proud name, and a wonderful crew; we are thrilled to be here in Hawaii, ready for fleet service."
The ship honors Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (USMC Ret.). Petersen was the first black USMC aviator and the first black Marine to become a three-star general. General Petersen served two combat tours, Korea in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968. He flew more than 350 combat missions and had over 4,000 hours in various fighter and attack aircraft. Lt. Gen. Petersen passed away in August 2015 at the age of 83.
Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are the backbone of the U.S. Navy’s surface fleet. These highly capable, multi-mission ships conduct a variety of operations, from peacetime presence to national security providing a wide range of warfighting capabilities in multi-threat air, surface and subsurface.

Today’s #VeteranOfTheDay is Navy and Marine Corps Veteran Frank E. Petersen, Jr. Frank served from 1950 to 1988.
Frank Petersen Jr. was born in Kansas in 1932. He was 9 years old when Pearl Harbor was attacked, and learning about it inspired him to serve. Following his high school graduation, Frank enrolled in Washburn University in Topeka but decided to leave college.
At the age of 18, Frank enlisted in the Navy. When Frank took the Navy entrance exam in 1950, he passed with flying colors. Because of his race, the recruiting officers believed he had cheated on his exams, and made him sit for the test again. After enlisting in the Navy, Frank trained to work as an electronics technician. By 1951, Frank entered the Naval Aviation Cadet Program. By 1952, he had become a Marine. During his career in the Marines, Frank earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in international affairs from George Washington University. Frank made history when he became the first black Marine Corps general.
After 38 years in the service, Frank retired from the Marine Corps as a three-star general. His service earned him a Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, the Purple Heart, and many other awards. In 1968, Frank’s fighter attack squadron earned the Robert M. Hanson Award for their outstanding performance in Vietnam. In total, he flew over 350 missions and spent over 4,000 hours in different aircraft while serving in the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

By Glenn Sircy, Center for Information Warfare Training
PENSACOLA, Fla. – Cmdr. Daniel Hancock assumed command of the Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU), or future USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG 121) during a ceremony at the National Naval Aviation Museum onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, Sept. 27.
“Command of a warship carries incredible authority and responsibility for the commanding officer, so much so that the chief of naval operations is explicit in his expectations of those who hold command in the United States Navy and this underscores the significance of this ceremony,” said Capt. Adolfo H. Ibarra, director, Commander’s Action Group, Naval Surface Force Atlantic, and Hancock’s presiding officer. “Command is the foundation of which our Navy rests. Authority, responsibility and accountability are three essential principles that are at the heart of soul of command. Effective command is at risk if any of these principles are lacking or are out of balance. Command is a privilege bestowed on a select group of officers. It is also the most solemn a naval officer will ever undertake. Despite this absolute and awesome responsibility, it is a coveted positon and definitely well earned by Cmdr. Hancock.”
Hancock is the first commanding officer of the USS Frank E. Petersen Jr., currently under construction at Huntington Ingalls Industries shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi.
The future USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. is a guided-missile destroyer that weighs almost 9,300 tons, is 510 feet in length, has a waterline beam of 65.5 feet and a navigational draft of 31 feet. Four gas turbine engines will power the ship to speeds in excess of 30 knots.
The ship is named in honor of Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen Jr., the first African American Marine Corps aviator and the first African American Marine Corps officer promoted to brigadier general. When he retired in 1988 after 38 years of service, he was by date of designation, the senior-ranking aviator in the Marine Corps and the United States Navy.
The ceremony’s location has a special meaning and significance for Hancock. Marine Corps Maj. Daniel Iverson Jr., Hancock’s great uncle and his namesake, was awarded the Navy Cross and Silver Star for heroism in the Pacific during the Battle of Midway, and Hancock assumed command in front of his great uncle’s plane.
Iverson flew one of the famous 16 Douglas SBD-2 Dauntless, a World War II American naval scout plane and dive bomber that initiated the first attack on the Japanese fleet approaching USS Midway in June 1942. Eight planes were shot down in the battle. First Lt. Iverson flew back to Midway following the battle, landing his severely damaged plane on one wheel with 219 bullet holes. The plane was patched and returned to the U.S., where it was used for training until crashing into Lake Michigan. The plane was later recovered, restored and now is on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum.
“Maj. Daniel Iverson Jr.–Dan or Danny as his friends and Marines called him–is my namesake -and my inspiration for joining the service,” shared Hancock. “He is also a bona fide American hero. I could spend all day beaming with pride and reading his citations to you, but I’ll simply say this: He typified the ‘greatest generation!’”
The USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. will be configured as a Flight IIA destroyer, which enables power projection, forward presence and escort operations at sea in support of low-intensity conflict/coastal and littoral offshore warfare, as well as open ocean conflict.
“I have been given absolute responsibility,” said Hancock. “While I can push authority down the chain of command and delegate it, I can never shirk the absolute responsibility of command and the accountability it demands. I am grateful for this opportunity, humbled by the burden, and committed to the cause in front of me. To my officers, chiefs and Sailors, I am ready to lead you and serve alongside you. I promise you my best because you deserve it. You represent the best of the republic and I am honored to sail with you as a team. You are helping me form the culture of the most lethal warship ever created. DDG 121 is built for the near-peer, high end, Great Power Competition fight. We have to be ready for war today, and together, we will be ready to conduct combat operations anywhere, anytime.”
In closing remarks, Hancock shared motivational words of wisdom with his crew.
“Treat each other with respect and let’s remember the ‘Golden Rule’– take care of the ship and she will take care of all of us. We will sail fast, shoot straight and speak truth. Remember, ‘Frank’ owns the fight. Let’s get her to sea! It is the honor of my lifetime to be your captain.”

Retired Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, who made history twice as the first African-American aviator in the Marine Corps and then as the Corps' first African-American general, has died at 83, the Marines' announced.
Petersen, who flew more than 350 combat missions in Korea and Vietnam, died Tuesday at his home in Stevensville, Maryland, of complications from lung cancer.
When he retired as a lieutenant general in 1988, Petersen was the senior ranking aviator in both the Marines and the Navy — with which he served before joining the Marine Corps — and held the honorary titles of Silver Hawk and Grey Eagle.
Petersen served two years in the Navy before he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps in 1952, becoming the first African-American aviator in the service's history. He went on to command his own fighter squadron, then an aircraft group, an amphibious brigade and an aircraft wing.
Petersen was promoted to brigadier general in 1979, becoming the first African-American to hold the rank in the Marine Corps. After serving as special assistant to the Marines' chief of staff, he retired as commanding general of Marine Corps Combat Development Command at Quantico, Virginia.
Gen. John M. Paxton, assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, called Petersen "a pioneer and role model in many ways, a stellar leader, Marine officer and aviator."
In his 1998 autobiography, "Into the Tiger's Jaw: America's First Black Marine Aviator," Petersen wrote at length about the opposition he encountered along his way up the ranks.
"The hate mail was even more revealing, some of it coming, I am sure, from certain officers wearing stars," he wrote.
He finally felt "I was a winner" upon his promotion to brigadier general, "even though "not everybody in the Corps was overjoyed at my selection," he wrote.
"The aide presented my brigadier's flag with its one glaring star to the commandant, who immediately handed it to me. I kissed my wife, left the flag with her, then seemingly floated to the lectern to give the crowd my good wishes and thanks," Petersen wrote.
"'He took that flag,' Alicia [Petersen's wife] likes to remember, 'and he wrapped it around himself and he sat upon his chair like he was on a throne,'" Petersen wrote.
Among his many honors, Petersen received the Distinguished Service Medal, the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit with valor device, the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Meritorious Service Medal, the corps said.

Here's what former students have to say...
"Not a day goes by when I am not thankful for the education I received at Frank H. Peterson. Because of the time I invested in high school learning Graphic Design, I was able to breeze through my college program and create a stand-out portfolio. I had an agency job shortly after graduation! Thankful for my mentors and instructors!"
~ Leah Crawford,
Communications Academy Graduate
“I've been into cars my whole life and enrolled in the Automotive Academy at Peterson. Having a skilled trade taught to me as a high schooler helped put me in the spot I am today. I loved every minute of being in the shop, especially when we could bring our own vehicles in. I’m very thankful for the years I spent Peterson and the connections I made along the way.”
~ Daniel Griffin
Automotive Academy Graduate

Retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Frank Emmanuel Petersen, Jr. was born in Topeka, Kansas, the second of four children to Frank Petersen, Sr., a radio repairman, and Edythe Southard Petersen. He grew up in South Topeka, ten miles away next to Topeka Army Airfield where he watched the aircraft take off and land. He attended Monroe Elementary School, the gifted program of Boswell Junior High School, and graduated from Topeka High School in 1949. He had wanted to join the military after high school, but abided to his parents wishes and attended Washburn University. After a year, he left college and applied to enlist in the U.S. Navy. He did so well on the exam, that the recruiter made him take the test again. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy in June 1950 where he trained to be an electronics technician. While in basic training, he learned about Jesse Brown, the first black Navy pilot who was shot down and killed in North Korea on December 4, 1950. This motivated him to apply to the Naval Aviation Cadet Corps. He entered the Naval Aviation Cadet Program in 1951. Petersen and another person were the only black people in the program. In October, 1952, Petersen completed flight training and was designated a Naval Aviator. He accepted a commission as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps becoming the first black aviator in Marine Corps history.
Petersen was assigned to Korea in 1953. There, he flew Chance Vaught F4U Corsairs on 64 combat missions with Marine Fighter Squadron 212 (VMF-212), Devilcats, out of the K-6 Airfield in Pyong-Taek to the Yalu River. He earned the Distinguished Flying Cross and six air medals before the Korean War ended.
In 1968, Petersen became the first African American in the Marines or the Navy to command a tactical air squadron when he took over Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314 (VMFA-314), the Black Knights, in Vietnam. He flew 290 missions during the Vietnam War between May 1968 and February 1969. In 1968, General Peterson earned the Purple Heart for his actions while flying a mission in North Vietnam when he was shot down, and rescued. He has over 4,000 hours in various fighter/attack aircraft.
In July 1969, Petersen became a tactical air planner/programmer in the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Aviation. In 1971, he became special advisor to the Comandant of the Marine Corps in charge of African-American officer recruitment. In July 1975, Petersen was promoted to Colonel and took command of Marine Air Corps 32 at Cherry Point, North Carolina later that year. In February 1979 he was selected for promotion to brigadier general, in May 1983 he was advanced to the rank of major general. General Petersen was promoted to lieutenant general on June 12, 1986 and was appointed Commanding General of the USMC Combat Development Command at Quantico, Virginia. When he retired in 1988, Petersen was the first black three star general in the USMC and the "Silver Hawk" and "Gray Eagle" senior and ranking aviator in both the USMC and the Navy. He was awarded still another Distinguished Service Medal for his command services at Quantico.
Petersen later received his B.A. degree in 1967 and his M.A. degree in international affairs in 1973, both at George Washington University. He also graduated from the National War College in 1973. In 1987 he was the recipient of an honorary Doctor of Law degree granted by Virginia Union University. In addition he has also attended the following service schools: the Amphibious Warfare School, Quantico, Va.; and the Aviation Safety Officers Course at the University of Southern California.
His numerous decorations include: the Distinguished Flying Cross; the Meritorious Service Medal; the Purple Heart; the Defense Superior Service Medal; Legion of Merit with Combat "V"; Air Medal; Navy Commendation Medal with Combat "V"; and the Air Force Commendation Medal; the Robert M. Hanson award for the Most Outstanding Fighter Squadron while assigned in Vietnam, 1968; Man of the Year, NAACP, 1979; Gray Eagle Trophy, August 21, 1987-June 15, 1988.
Petersen spent his civilian years as vice president of corporate aviation for DuPont DeNemours, Inc. Managing their corporate fleet, he traveled the globe, retiring in 1997.
Petersen, who had five children, lived on the Chesapeake Bay. He died at his home in Stevensville, on Maryland's Kent Island, of complications from lung cancer on August 25, 2015. He was 83.

FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii — The Navy’s newest guided-missile destroyer, the USS Frank E. Petersen Jr., arrived Monday in Pearl Harbor, making it the ninth ship of its class to homeport in Hawaii.
The 509-foot Arleigh Burke-class destroyer steamed into Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam from Charleston, S.C., where it was commissioned last month, the Navy said in a news release Monday.
It joins the USS Daniel Inouye, whicharrived in November at the joint base that is headquarters to U.S. Pacific Fleet.
The ship’s namesake is Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen Jr., who was the Corps’ first African American aviator and three-star general, the Navy said in a news release Monday.
Former Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced in 2016 that an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer would be named to honor Petersen, a year after the veteran died at age 83.
Petersen flew combat tours in the Korean War in 1953 and the Vietnam War in 1968.
He flew more than 350 combat missions and logged over 4,000 hours in various fighter and attack aircraft, the Navy said.
“My crew and I share a deep sense of pride and honor to represent our namesake, the late Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr., USMC,” Cmdr. Daniel Hancock, the destroyer’s commanding officer, said in the news release.
“This ship is fast, formidable, and built to fight and win in the Pacific Theater,” Hancock said. “This is a great ship, with a proud name, and a wonderful crew; we are thrilled to be here in Hawaii, ready for fleet service.”
The ship was built at Huntington Ingalls Industries shipyard in Mississippi. At nearly 9,500 tons and a draft of 31 feet, the Petersen has four gas turbine engines to power it to speeds greater than 30 knots, according to the Navy.
Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are built around the Aegis Combat System, which is capable of meeting simultaneous threats coming from the air, the sea surface and from underwater, according to the Navy. An advanced radar system at its heart can search, track more than 100 targets and simultaneously guide defensive missiles. The Petersen’s weaponry includes Tomahawk and Harpoon missiles and a mounted, 5-inch Mark 45 gun.

Jensen Ross Ackles, better known as simply Jensen Ackles, was born on March 1, 1978, in Dallas, Texas, to Donna Joan (Shaffer) and actor Alan Ackles. He has English, German, and Scottish ancestry. Jensen grew up in Richardson, Texas, together with his older brother, Joshua, and a younger sister, Mackenzie. Jensen graduated from Dartmouth Elementary School in 1990, he graduated from Apollo Junior High School in 1993, and LV Berkner High School in 1996.
Jensen is a sports junkie. He loves football, lacrosse, baseball and basketball. He even played on the baseball and lacrosse teams in high school. The 6' 1" actor first started modeling when he was just 2 years old. When he turned 4, he started appearing in TV commercials for Nabisco, RadioShack and Wal-Mart. He caught the acting bug because he was mostly influenced by his father, who was an actor in Dallas. He used to watch his father study scripts, and that taught him a few things about the industry. During his later years in high school, he started taking theater classes, where he claimed he was the only "jock" in that department. When he was just a sophomore, a friend of Jensen had asked him to attend a local acting seminar. Two guys, Craig Wargo, and an agent, 'Michael Einfeld', were interested in Jensen's talent and wanted him to go to Los Angeles with them.
Jensen had to say no to the offer and admitted at one point, he thought they would forget about him but, eventually, when he went to Los Angeles, he still managed to get help from them. Prior to that, Jensen actually planned to study sports medicine at Texas Tech University and become a physical therapist, before he decided to move to Los Angeles to give acting a try. In 1996, he managed to secure guest roles on several TV shows, which included Wishbone (1995), Mr. Rhodes (1996) and Sweet Valley High (1994). Jensen's big break came when he was cast in the NBC soap opera, Zeit der Sehnsucht (1965), as Eric Brady in 1997. He won a Soap Opera Digest Award for Best Male Newcomer in 1998, and was nominated three times in 1998, 1999, and 2000 for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series for his work on Zeit der Sehnsucht (1965). After spending about three years on a soap set, he left Zeit der Sehnsucht (1965) and went on to appear in the mini-series Blond (2001), which was about the life of Marilyn Monroe, playing Eddie G. He also auditioned for the role of Clark Kent on Smallville (2001), but lost the part to Tom Welling, instead.
Not giving up hope, he went for a few auditions and managed to secure a guest role on the popular James Cameron TV series, Dark Angel (2000), as serial killer Ben/X5-493, the brother of main character Max/X5-452, who was played by Jessica Alba. His character died in the episode, but Jensen eventually returned to the show as a regular in the second season as Ben's clone, Alec/X5-494 and continued on until the show's cancellation in 2002. In 2003, he joined the cast of Dawsons Creek (1998), playing the role of C.J., Jen Lindley's lover. He also filmed episodes of the TV series, Still Life (2003), playing the role of Max Morgan, not knowing that the series was actually dropped. He also had a small role in the short film, The Plight of Clownana (2004), playing the role of Jensen. That same year, he was offered the part of Eliza Dushku's love interest on the second season of Tru Calling: Schicksal reloaded! (2003). Jensen, however, turned down the role which was later offered to another actor, Eric Christian Olsen. He was subsequently cast on Smallville (2001), as Assistant football coach Jason Teague, the new love interest of Lana Lang. In 2005, Jensen managed to earn a lead role in the movie, Devour - Der schwarze Pfad (2005), playing the role of Jake Gray. Jensen also earned the opportunity to work his father, actor Alan Ackles, who happened to play his character's father, Paul Kilton. The movie, however, received mixed reviews from the public.
That same year, Jensen joined the cast of the CW series, Supernatural: Zur Hölle mit dem Bösen (2005), where he plays the role of Dean Winchester. Dean and his brother Sam, who is played by Jared Padalecki, are brothers who drive throughout the United States hunting paranormal predators, sometimes with their father, John Winchester, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. It was reported that the creator of the show, Eric Kripke, mentioned that the show will last for a maximum of five seasons. In 2006, Jensen took on a role in the Independently filmed comedy/drama movie, Ten Inch Hero (2007), which explores the theme of honesty and the flaw of judging by appearances. In 2007 the film began a limited run at number of film festivals including the Newport Beach Film Festival, Phoenix Film Festival and the Santa Cruz Film Festival but never made it into major mainstream theatrical release. In the Spring of 2008 Ten Inch Hero was released onto DVD exclusively through Blockbuster. Jensen however, received high praise for his work as Priestly, who one of the movie's more quirky characters.
From June 5-10 in 2007 Jensen had his professional stage debut as Lt. Daniel Kaffee in "A Few Good Men" at Casa Manana Theatre in Fort Worth, Texas, working along side Lou Diamond Phillips. This proved to be another successful acting venture for Jensen, as critics were impressed with his work in this role.

Jared Leto is a very familiar face in recent film history. Although he has always been the lead vocals, rhythm guitar, and songwriter for American band Thirty Seconds to Mars, Leto is an accomplished actor merited by the numerous, challenging projects he has taken in his life. He is known to be selective about his film roles.
Jared Leto was born in Bossier City, Louisiana, to Constance "Connie" (Metrejon) and Anthony L. "Tony" Bryant. The surname "Leto" is from his stepfather. His ancestry includes English, Cajun (French), as well as Irish, German, and Scottish. Jared and his family traveled across the United States throughout his childhood, living in such states as Wyoming, Virginia and Colorado. Leto would continue this trend when he initially dropped a study of painting at Philadelphia's University of the Arts in favor of a focus on acting at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
In 1992, Leto moved to Los Angeles to pursue a musical career, intending to take acting roles on the side. Leto's first appearances on screen were guest appearances on the short-lived television shows Camp Wilder - Ein verrückter Haufen (1992), Alle meine Kinder (1993) and Rebel Highway (1994). However, his next role would change everything for Leto. While searching for film roles, he was cast in the show, Willkommen im Leben (1994) (TV Series 1994-1995). Leto's character was "Jordan Catalano", the handsome, dyslexic slacker, the main love interest of "Angela" (played by Claire Danes). Leto contributed to the soundtrack of the film, and so impressed the producers initially that he was soon a regular on the show until its end.
Elsewhere, Leto began taking film roles. His first theatrically released film was the ensemble piece, Ein amerikanischer Quilt (1995), based on a novel of the same name and starring renowned actresses Winona Ryder, Anne Bancroft, Ellen Burstyn, Jean Simmons and Alfre Woodard. The film was a modest success and, while Leto's next film, Last of the High Kings (1996), was a failure, Leto secured his first leading role in Steve Prefontaine: Der Langstreckenläufer (1997), based on long-distance runner Steven Prefontaine. The film was a financial flop, but was praised by critics, notably Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. He also took a supporting role in the action thriller, Switchback - Gnadenlose Flucht (1997), which starred Dennis Quaid, but the film was another failure.
Leto's work was slowly becoming recognized in Hollywood, and he continued to find work in film. In 1998, everything turned for the better on all fronts. This was the year that Leto founded the band, Thirty Seconds to Mars, with his brother, Shannon Leto, as well as Matt Wachter (who later left the group), and after two guitarists joined and quit, Tomo Milicevic was brought in as lead guitarist and keyboardist. As well as the formation of his now-famous band, Leto's luck in film was suddenly shooting for the better. He was cast as the lead in the horror film, Düstere legenden (1998), which told a grisly tale of a murderer who kills his victims in the style of urban legends. The film was a massive success commercially, though critics mostly disliked the film. That same year, Leto also landed a supporting role in the film, Der schmale Grat (1998). Renowned director Terrence Malick's first film in nearly twenty years, the film had dozens of famous actors in the cast, including Sean Penn, Woody Harrelson, John Travolta, Nick Nolte and Elias Koteas, to name a few. The film went through much editing, leaving several actors out of the final version, but Leto luckily remained in the film. Der schmale Grat (1998) was nominated for seven Oscars and was a moderate success at the box office. Leto's fame had just begun. He had supporting roles in both James Mangold's Durchgeknallt (1999), and in David Fincher's cult classic, Fight Club (1999), dealing with masculinity, commercialism, fascism and insomnia. While Edward Norton and Brad Pitt were the lead roles, Leto took a supporting role and dyed his hair blond. The film remains hailed by many, but at the time, Leto was already pushing himself further into controversial films. He played a supporting role of "Paul Allen" in the infamous American Psycho (2000), starring Christian Bale, and he played the lead role in Darren Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream (2000), which had Leto take grueling measures to prepare for his role as a heroin addict trying to put his plans to reality and escape the hell he is in. Both films were massive successes, if controversially received.
The 2000s brought up new film opportunities for Leto. He reunited with David Fincher in Panic Room (2002), which was another success for Leto, as well as Oliver Stone's epic passion project, Alexander (2004). The theatrical cut was poorly received domestically (although it recouped its budget through DVD sales and international profit), and though a Final Cut was released that much improved the film in all aspects, it continues to be frowned upon by the majority of film goers. Leto rebounded with Lord of War - Händler des Todes (2005), which starred Nicolas Cage as an arms dealer who ships weapons to war zones, with Leto playing his hapless but more moral-minded brother. The film was an astounding look at the arms industry, but was not a big financial success. Leto's flush of successes suddenly ran dry when he acted in the period piece, Lonely Hearts Killers (2006), which had Leto playing "Ray Fernandez", one of the two infamous "Lonely Hearts Killers" in the 1940s. The film was a financial failure and only received mixed responses. Leto then underwent a massive weight gain to play "Mark David Chapman", infamous murderer of John Lennon, in the movie, Chapter 27 (2007). While Leto did a fantastic job embodying the behavior and speech patterns of Chapman, the film was a complete flop, and was a critical bomb to boot. It was during this period that Leto focused increasingly on his band, turning down such films as Clint Eastwood's World War 2 film, Flags of Our Fathers (2006).
In 2009, however, Leto returned to acting with Mr. Nobody (2009). Leto's role as "Nemo Nobody" required him to play the character as far aged as 118, even as he undergoes a soul-searching as to whether his life turned out the way he wanted it to. The film was mostly funded through Belgian and French financiers, and was given limited release in only certain countries. Critical response, however, has praised the film's artistry and Leto's acting.
He made his directorial debut in 2012 with the documentary film Artifact (2012).
Leto remains the lead vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and main songwriter for Thirty Seconds to Mars. Their debut album, 30 Seconds to Mars (2002), was released to positive reviews but only to limited success. The band achieved worldwide fame with the release of their second album A Beautiful Lie (2005). Their following releases, This Is War (2009) and Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams (2013), received further critical and commercial success.
After a five years hiatus from filming, Leto returned to act in the drama Dallas Buyers Club (2013), directed by Jean-Marc Vallée and co-starring Matthew McConaughey. Leto portrayed Rayon, a drug-addicted transgender woman with AIDS who befriends McConaughey's character Ron Woodroof. Leto's performance earned him an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actor. In order to accurately portray his role, Leto lost 30 pounds, shaved his eyebrows and waxed his entire body. He stated the portrayal was grounded in his meeting transgender people while researching the role. During filming, Leto refused to break character. Dallas Buyers Club received widespread critical acclaim and became a financial success, resulting in various accolades for Leto, who was awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor - Motion Picture, Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role and a variety of film critics' circle awards for the role.
In 2016, he played the Joker in the super villain film Suicide Squad (2016).
Leto is considered to be a method actor, known for his constant devotion to and research of his roles. He often remains completely in character for the duration of the shooting schedules of his films, even to the point of adversely affecting his health.
Compact Italian-American actor Joe Pesci was born February 9, 1943 in Newark, New Jersey, to Mary (Mesce), a part-time barber, and Angelo Pesci, a bartender and forklift driver. Pesci first broke into entertainment as a child actor, and by the mid-1950s, was starring on the series "Star Time Kids". In the mid-1960s, he released a record under the stage name Joe Ritchie titled "Little Joe Sure Can Sing", and was also playing guitar with several bands, including Joey Dee and The Starliters. He even joined with his friend Frank Vincent to start a vaudeville-style comedy act, but met with limited success (interestingly, Pesci and Vincent would later go on to co-star in several gangster films together, including GoodFellas - Drei Jahrzehnte in der Mafia (1990) and Casino (1995).
Pesci's first film role was as an uncredited dancer in Twist... das die Röcke fliegen (1961) and then he had to wait another 15 years for a minor role in Blutiger Zahltag (1976). His work in the second film was seen by Robert De Niro, who convinced director Martin Scorsese to cast him as Joey LaMotta in the epic boxing film Wie ein wilder Stier (1980), which really got him noticed in Hollywood. He played opposite Rodney Dangerfield in Monty, der Millionenerbe (1983), was with buddy DeNiro again in Es war einmal in Amerika (1984), nearly stole the show as con man Leo Getz in Lethal Weapon 2 - Brennpunkt L.A. (1989) and scored a Best Supporting Actor Oscar playing the psychotic Tommy DeVito in Goodfellas (1990).
His comedic talents shone again in the mega-popular Kevin - Allein zu Haus (1990), and he put in a terrific performance as co-conspirator David Ferrie in JFK: Tatort Dallas (1991). Pesci was back again as Leo Getz for Lethal Weapon 3: Die Profis sind zurück (1992), and was still a bumbling crook in Kevin - Allein in New York (1992), and had a minor role in the Robert De Niro-directed In den Straßen der Bronx (1993). He was lured back by Scorsese to play another deranged gangster named Nicky (based on real-life hood Tony Spilotro [aka "The Ant"]) in the violent Casino (1995), and starred in the comedies Kopflos - 8 Köpfe im Koffer (1997) and Der $100.000 Fisch (1997), although both failed to fire at the box office.
Pesci returned again as fast-talking con man Leo Getz in Lethal Weapon 4 - Zwei Profis räumen auf (1998). In 1999, he announced his retirement from acting and since then, he appeared only occasionally in films, including a cameo appearance in Der gute Hirte (2006). He also appeared in the music documentary I Go Back Home: Jimmy Scott (2016).
Jack Nicholson, an American actor, producer, director and screenwriter, is a three-time Academy Award winner and twelve-time nominee. Nicholson is also notable for being one of two actors - the other being Michael Caine - who have received an Oscar nomination in every decade from the '60s through the '00s.
Nicholson was born on April 22, 1937, in Neptune, New Jersey. He was raised believing that his grandmother was his mother, and that his mother, June Frances Nicholson, a showgirl, was his older sister. He discovered the truth in 1975 from a Time magazine journalist who was researching a profile on him. His real father is believed to have been either Donald Furcillo, an Italian American showman, or Eddie King (Edgar Kirschfeld), born in Latvia and also in show business. Jack's mother's ancestry was Irish, and smaller amounts of English, German, Scottish, and Welsh.
Nicholson made his film debut in a B-movie titled The Cry Baby Killer (1958). His rise in Hollywood was far from meteoric, and for years, he sustained his career with guest spots in television series and a number of Roger Corman films, including Kleiner Laden voller Schrecken (1960).
Nicholson's first turn in the director's chair was for Drive, He Said (1971). Before that, he wrote the screenplay for The Trip (1967), and co-wrote Head (1968), a vehicle for The Monkees. His big break came with Easy Rider (1969) and his portrayal of liquor-soaked attorney George Hanson, which earned Nicholson his first Oscar nomination. Nicholson's film career took off in the 1970s with a definitive performance in Five Easy Pieces - Ein Mann sucht sich selbst (1970). Nicholson's other notable work during this period includes leading roles in Roman Polanski's noir masterpiece Chinatown (1974) and Einer flog über das Kuckucksnest (1975), for which he won his first Best Actor Oscar.
The 1980s kicked off with another career-defining role for Nicholson as Jack Torrance in Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's novel Shining (1980). A string of well-received films followed, including Zeit der Zärtlichkeit (1983), which earned Nicholson his second Oscar; Die Ehre der Prizzis (1985), and Die Hexen von Eastwick (1987). He portrayed another renowned villain, The Joker, in Tim Burton's Batman (1989). In the 1990s, he starred in such varied films as Eine Frage der Ehre (1992), for which he received another Oscar nomination, and a dual role in Mars Attacks! (1996).
Although a glimpse at the darker side of Nicholson's acting range reappeared in Departed: Unter Feinden (2006), the actor's most recent roles highlight the physical and emotional complications one faces late in life. The most notable of these is the unapologetically misanthropic Melvin Udall in Besser geht's nicht (1997), for which he won his third Oscar. Shades of this persona are apparent in About Schmidt (2002), Was das Herz begehrt (2003), and Das Beste kommt zum Schluss (2007). In addition to his Academy Awards and Oscar nominations, Nicholson has seven Golden Globe Awards, and received a Kennedy Center Honor in 2001. He also became one of the youngest actors to receive the American Film Institute's Life Achievement award in 1994.
Nicholson has six children by five different women: Jennifer Nicholson (b. 1963) from his only marriage to Sandra Knight, which ended in 1966; Caleb Goddard (b. 1970) with Five Easy Pieces - Ein Mann sucht sich selbst (1970) co-star Susan Anspach, who was automatically adopted by Anspach's then-husband Mark Goddard; Honey Hollman (b. 1982) with Danish supermodel Winnie Hollman; Lorraine Nicholson (b. 1990) and Ray Nicholson (b. 1992) with minor actress Rebecca Broussard; and Tessa Gourin (b. 1994) with real estate agent Jennine Marie Gourin. Nicholson's longest relationship was the 17 nonmonogamous years he spent with Anjelica Huston; this ended when Broussard announced she was pregnant with his child.
Jaden Smith is an actor, known for The Pursuit of Happyness (2006), The Karate Kid (2010) and After Earth (2013). In addition to being an actor he is also a dancer, songwriter and rapper who won an MTV award for his performance in The Pursuit of Happyness. He co-starred with his father Will Smith in both The Pursuit of Happyness and in the 2013 science fiction film After Earth. Smith and his siblings are youth ambassadors for Project Zambia which provides assistance in conjunction with Hasbro for Zambian children orphaned by AIDS.
Jaden Smith was born on July 8, 1998 in Malibu, California, USA as Jaden Christopher Syre Smith, the son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. He is the older brother of Willow Smith (born on October 23, 2000) and is the younger half-brother of Trey Smith. He is also the nephew of Caleeb Pinkett. His maternal grandmother's family was Afro-Caribbean (from Barbados and Jamaica). His other grandparents' families were African-American.
Before fame, He helped Project Zambia and Hasbro to take care of children in Zambia whose parents have died of AIDS. He made his film debut in 2006 in The Pursuit of Happyness. Along with his sister, Willow Smith, and his elder brother, Trey Smith, are youth ambassadors for Project Zambia, in conjunction with the Hasbro corporation, which helps children orphaned by AIDS in Africa. Along with his younger sister, Willow Smith, he was home-schooled and also attends the New Village Leadership Academy, which was co-founded by his parents.
He co-starred with Jackie Chan in the 2010 remake of The Karate Kid directed by Harald Zwart. Smith's character portrayal was acclaimed by critics and the film received mixed to mainly positive reviews. He also played a role in The Day the Earth Stood Still (2013) with Keanu Reeves. In May 2013, Will Smith and Jaden starred together, playing father and son, in After Earth. In 2014, it was announced that Smith will return for the sequel Karate Kid 2 with Jackie Chan. The movie will be directed by Breck Eisner, produced by James Lassiter and Will Smith and written by Zak Penn. The movie would be released in 2015.
Smith rapped alongside Canadian singer Justin Bieber in the song "Never Say Never." On October 1, 2012, Jaden released his first mix tape, The Cool Cafe.
Smith started his own clothing/lifestyle brand called MSFTSrep. The clothes range from hoodies and T-shirts to trousers and vests. In May 2013 Smith collaborated with a Korean designer, Choi Bum Suk, to create a pop-up store in which customers can buy clothes with their collaborated logos.
In 2015, he began dating Instagram star Sarah Snyder. Before Sarah, Jaden dated Kylie Jenner.
John Cusack is, like most of his characters, an unconventional hero. Wary of fame and repelled by formulaic Hollywood fare, he has built a successful career playing underdogs and odd men out--all the while avoiding the media spotlight. John was born in Evanston, Illinois, to an Irish-American family. With the exception of mom Nancy (née Carolan), a former math teacher, the Cusack clan is all show business: father Dick Cusack was an actor and filmmaker, and John's siblings Joan Cusack, Ann Cusack, Bill Cusack and Susie Cusack are all thespians by trade. Like his brother and sisters, John became a member of Chicago's Piven Theatre Workshop while he was still in elementary school. By age 12, he already had several stage productions, commercial voice overs and industrial films under his belt. He made his feature film debut at 17, acting alongside Rob Lowe and Andrew McCarthy in the romantic comedy Class - Vom Klassenzimmer zur Klassefrau (1983). His next role, as a member of Anthony Michael Hall's geek brigade in Das darf man nur als Erwachsener (1984), put him on track to becoming a teen-flick fixture. Cusack remained on the periphery of the Brat Pack, sidestepping the meteoric rise and fall of most of his contemporaries, but he stayed busy with leads in films like Der Volltreffer (1985) and Lanny dreht auf (1985). Young Cusack is probably best remembered for what could be considered his last adolescent role: the stereo-blaring romantic Lloyd Dobler in Teen Lover (1989). A year later, he hit theaters as a grown-up, playing a bush-league con man caught between his manipulative mother and headstrong girlfriend in Grifters (1990).
The next few years were relatively quiet for the actor, but he filled in the gaps with off-screen projects. He directed and produced several shows for the Chicago-based theater group The New Criminals, which he founded in 1988 (modeling it after Tim Robbins' Actors' Gang in Los Angeles) to promote political and avant-garde stage work. Four years later, Cusack's high school friends Steve Pink and D.V. DeVincentis joined him in starting a sister company for film, New Crime Productions. New Crime's first feature was the sharply written comedy Ein Mann, ein Mord (1997), which touched off a career renaissance for Cusack. In addition to co-scripting, he starred as a world-weary hit man who goes home for his ten-year high school reunion and tries to rekindle a romance with the girl he stood up on prom night (Minnie Driver). In an instance of life imitating art, Cusack actually did go home for his ten-year reunion (to honor a bet about the film's financing) and ended up in a real-life romance with Driver. Cusack's next appearance was as a federal agent (or, as he described it, "the first post-Heston, non-biblical action star in sandals") in Con Air (1997), a movie he chose because he felt it was time to make smart business decisions. He followed that with Clint Eastwood's Mitternacht im Garten von Gut und Böse (1997), in which he played a Yankee reporter entangled in a Savannah murder case.
Cusack has always favored offbeat material, so it was no surprise when he turned up in the fiercely original Being John Malkovich (1999). Long-haired, bearded and bespectacled, he was almost unrecognizable in the role of a frustrated puppeteer who stumbles across a portal into the brain of actor John Malkovich. The convincing performance won him a Best Actor nomination at the Independent Spirit Awards. In 2000, Cusack was back to his clean-shaven self in High Fidelity (2000), another New Crime production. He worked with Steve Pink and D.V. DeVincentis to adapt Nick Hornby's popular novel (relocating the story to their native Chicago), then starred as the sarcastic record store owner who revisits his "Top 5" breakups to find out why he's so unlucky in love. The real Cusack has been romantically linked with several celebs, including Driver, Alison Eastwood, Claire Forlani and Neve Campbell. He's also something of a family man, acting frequently opposite sister Joan Cusack and pulling other Cusacks into his films on a regular basis. He seems pleased with the spate of projects on his horizon, but admits that he still hasn't reached his ultimate goal: to be involved in a "great piece of art".
John Felix Anthony Cena was born on April 23, 1977 in West Newbury, Massachusetts to Carol Cena and John Joseph Cena. He is of Italian (father) and French-Canadian and English (mother) descent, and is the grandson of baseball player Tony Lupien. When he was in college, he played football. He then continued on to be a bodybuilder and a limousine driver. The 6-foot-1 tall star weighs exactly at 240 pounds and is a very successful superstar in the WWE.
The Dr. of Thuganomics started training to be a wrestler at Ultimate Pro Wrestling where he also created the character, The Prototype. Cena first appeared on WWE in a match against Kurt Angle on the 27th of June, 2002 which ended up with him losing.
In 2004, John Cena's status as a celebrity began to develop. Cena won the United States Championship from Big Show. Not too long later, Cena lost the title but he gained it back soon. Cena then lost the title again to fellow WWE superstar, Carlito. During that time, Cena apparently got stabbed in the kidney by one of Carlito's bodyguards. This resulted in staying out of action for a month.
In 2005 and 2006 respectively, Cena was involved in controversies. He had a feud with champion John Bradshaw Layfield, manager Eric Bischoff and fellow wrestler Chris Jericho. Cena also had feuds with Edge and Umaga at that time. But even so, some friendships were formed. Cena is said to be friends with Carlito after they won a match with Jeff Hardy against Edge, Randy Orton and Johnny Nitro.
The year 2007 was a big year for Cena as he was involved in a wrestling match with Britney Spears' ex and rap star, Kevin Federline. John ended up losing that match thanks to some assistance from Umaga to Kevin Federline. Later that night, Cena took revenge by body slamming Kevin Federline backstage. The year 2007 also started pretty well for John Cena as he became the first person to defeat the Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga that year. The Chain Gang Soldier also teamed up with Shaun Michaels defeating the RKO tag team, Randy Orton and Edge. The match ended up with Cena and Michaels winning.
As of October 2007, Cena lost his WWE Championship title because of an injury. While wrestling against Mr. Kennedy, Cena tore his pectoral muscle while executing a hip toss. Although he finished the match and completed the rest of the scripted event, a check-up the next day showed that John's pectoral major muscle was torn completely from the bone, requiring seven months to a year rehabilitation. Not able to perform, WWE's CEO, Vince McMahon stripped him off the title and ended his reign.
In 2008, Cena made an unannounced return to action on January 27 as the final participant of the Royal Rumble match. He won the match, and the traditional WrestleMania title shot. Cena also had a match against JBL, which he defeated at Judgment Day and then at One Night Stand in a First Blood match. However, JBL defeated him at the New York City Parking Lot Brawl. In the month of August, Cena was replaced by Rey Mysterio after it was announced Cena had suffered a herniated disk in his neck which required surgery and he would be out of action indefinitely. According to reports, Cena underwent successive surgery to repair the herniated disk in his neck with Doctor Joseph Maroon on August 25.
Aside from wrestling, John has also made a name in the movie business. In 2006, a WWE franchise movie titled The Marine was released with John playing the lead character, John Triton. The movie received mixed reviews due to the poor story-line and discrimination to the US Marines. Even so, fans queued up to watch the movie as this was John's first big screen appearance.
The WWE wrestler also added recording artist to his resume as he released his debut rap album "You Can't See Me" which debuted at #15 on the US Billboard 200 chart. The album was recorded with his cousin Tha Trademarc. The album featured his entrance theme song, 'The Time Is Now' & a host of other singles performed by Cena. One of the songs he performed with popular rap band Estoric and a number of other songs Cena performed with famous rapper Bumpy Knuckles. Cena is the only professional wrestler to ever perform on BBC Two's long running TV show Top of the Pops.
While still active with WWE, Cena made a couple of guest appearances: Jimmy Kimmel Live! twice to promote his album. He has also appeared on popular shows like Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Fuse's Celebrity Playlist, Fox Sports Net's The Best Damn Sports Show Period, MADtv, G4's Training Camp and two appearances on MTV's Punk'd. He also served as a co-presenter, with Hulk Hogan, at the 2005 Teen Choice Awards, as a guest judge during the third week of the 2006 season of Nashville Star, and appeared at the 2007 Nickelodeon UK Kids Choice Awards 2007.
In fashion, The Champ has also made a few trademarks. Cena is often seen with knee-high denim jeans and throwback jerseys when he first started on WWE. Lately, Cena has been wearing a lot of Chain Gang merchandise. When his movie, The Marine was released, John was seen to be adding more military-inspired clothing to his outfit to promote his movie.
Cena graduated from Springfield College, Massachusetts with degrees in exercise physiology and human anatomy. He applied to 60 colleges and he got accepted by 58 of them but in the end, he chose Springfield College. He is the second eldest of five brothers and is said to be a family guy when he is not wrestling. His good friends are fellow wrestlers, John Hennigan, Batista, Randy Orton, Carlito, Jeff and Matt Hardy, whom he will have to fight.
John Cena is definitely going to be a big inspiration to all, whether in wrestling, fashion, music or even movies as his participation in the industry is already more than regular celebrity. With all he has achieved, fans can definitely expect to see more of this WWE superstar in the coming future.
Also, recently he has completed his new movie 12 Rounds produced by WWE Films. This movie was said to have finished filming when John suffered from his injury in 2007.
John Christopher "Johnny" Depp II was born on June 9, 1963 in Owensboro, Kentucky, to Betty Sue Palmer (née Wells), a waitress, and John Christopher Depp, a civil engineer. He was raised in Florida. He dropped out of school when he was 15, and fronted a series of music-garage bands, including one named 'The Kids'. When he married Lori A. Depp, he took a job as a ballpoint-pen salesman to support himself and his wife. A visit to Los Angeles, California, with his wife, however, happened to be a blessing in disguise, when he met up with actor Nicolas Cage, who advised him to turn to acting, which culminated in Depp's film debut in the low-budget horror film, Nightmare - Mörderische Träume (1984), where he played a teenager who falls prey to dream-stalking demon Freddy Krueger.
In 1987 he shot to stardom when he replaced Jeff Yagher in the role of undercover cop Tommy Hanson in the popular TV series 21 Jump Street: Tatort Klassenzimmer (1987). In 1990, after numerous roles in teen-oriented films, his first of a handful of great collaborations with director Tim Burton came about when Depp played the title role in Edward mit den Scherenhänden (1990). Following the film's success, Depp carved a niche for himself as a serious, somewhat dark, idiosyncratic performer, consistently selecting roles that surprised critics and audiences alike. He continued to gain critical acclaim and increasing popularity by appearing in many features before re-joining with Burton in the lead role of Ed Wood (1994). In 1997 he played an undercover FBI agent in the fact-based film Donnie Brasco (1997), opposite Al Pacino; in 1998 he appeared in Angst und Schrecken in Las Vegas (1998), directed by Terry Gilliam; and then, in 1999, he appeared in the sci-fi/horror film The Astronaut's Wife - Das Böse hat ein neues Gesicht (1999). The same year he teamed up again with Burton in Sleepy Hollow (1999), brilliantly portraying Ichabod Crane.
Depp has played many characters in his career, including another fact-based one, Insp. Fred Abberline in From Hell (2001). He stole the show from screen greats such as Antonio Banderas in the finale to Robert Rodriguez's "mariachi" trilogy, Irgendwann in Mexico (2003). In that same year he starred in the marvelous family blockbuster Fluch der Karibik (2003), playing a character that only the likes of Depp could pull off: the charming, conniving and roguish Capt. Jack Sparrow. The film's enormous success has opened several doors for his career and included an Oscar nomination. He appeared as the central character in the Stephen King-based movie, Das geheime Fenster (2004); as the kind-hearted novelist James Barrie in the factually-based Wenn Träume fliegen lernen (2004), where he co-starred with Kate Winslet; and Rochester in the British film, The Libertine - Sex, Drugs & Rococo (2004). Depp collaborated again with Burton in a screen adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel, Charlie und die Schokoladenfabrik (2005), and later in Alice im Wunderland (2010) and Dark Shadows (2012).
Off-screen, Depp has dated several female celebrities, and has been engaged to Sherilyn Fenn, Jennifer Grey, Winona Ryder and Kate Moss. He was married to Lori Anne Allison in 1983, but divorced her in 1985. Depp has two children with his former long-time partner, French singer/actress Vanessa Paradis: Lily-Rose Melody, born in 1999 and John Christopher "Jack" III, born in 2002. He married actress/producer Amber Heard in 2015, divorcing a few years later.
John Mark Galecki was born in Bree, Belgium, to American parents; his father was stationed there while serving in the U.S. Air Force. When he was three years old, his family moved to Chicago, Illinois, where he grew up with his parents, Mary Lou and Richard Galecki, and siblings, sister Allison (1980) and brother Nick (1982). His father was of Polish descent, and his mother's ancestry is Irish and Italian. His mother was a mortgage consultant and his father became a teacher for blind veterans in a VA hospital outside of Chicago. When Galecki was sixteen, his father died in an accident.
His mother recalled in an interview with People magazine that Galecki was a very artistic kid; at only 4 years old, he told her: "Mom, I'm gonna be on T.V., and I don't mean when I grow up." Two years later, when their attempts to distract him with sports failed, Galecki's parents took him to open auditions at local theaters in Chicago. He landed his first role in "Fiddler on the Roof," and more parts in other productions followed. By age 11, he was already known as an excellent actor in Chicago's theater scene evidenced by him receiving a Joseph Jefferson Citation nomination for portraying John Henry in "The Member of the Wedding."
In 1989 he was cast in his first movie, a holiday film called Jessica und das Rentier (1989), but his big break was in another Christmas movie as Chevy Chase's son Rusty Griswold, in Schöne Bescherung (1989). On the set, Chase took a liking to him, and Galecki recalled in a later interview that Chevy Chase showed him some tricks for comedic timing.
By that time, his whole family had moved from Chicago to L.A. to support his career. But within 10 months they realized they missed Chicago too much, and moved back home. Galecki, still just 14, was under contract on a show with Robert Urich called "Mann der Träume (1990)", so he stayed in L.A. Although he was living alone in a studio apartment, he never got into trouble and was a good kid. He recalled living alone in L.A. without adult supervision as "not fun" and "quite intimidating and lonely, to be honest. But I've always been happiest when I'm working, so..." He bought a motorcycle with a mirrored helmet so he could get to work and back, at Paramount studios.
In 1991 Galecki was picked by Roseanne Barr to play her son in the made for T.V. movie Die Mütter-Mannschaft (1991). She liked him so much she asked him to come on her sitcom for what started as a one-off appearance, but soon turned into the important recurring role of David Healy. His family was religious viewers of the show and he was somewhat intimidated at first to be working with his television heroes. However, before long, it was his heroes that praised him: Roseanne said he showed "great vulnerability." John Goodman said: "If he was one of those little stuffed bears at a carny, he'd have a Wuv me t-shirt on. People just want to take care of him." Galecki also became very close friends with co-star Sara Gilbert and the show's executive producer Eric Gilliland.
After Roseanne (1988) he worked on a number of diverse roles, from funny Ira alongside Christopher Walken in the 1997 dark-comedy Suicide Kings (1997) to a drug-addicted student in 2003's Bookies (2003), and he played gay characters in Don Roos's Bounce - Eine Chance für die Liebe (2000) and The Opposite of Sex - Das Gegenteil von Sex (1998). He never stayed far from the television industry as he made guest appearances such as Laurie Freeman's younger lover in Norm (1999) (where he once again worked with Laurie Metcalf, his former Roseanne cast mate), as a golfer in My Name Is Earl (2005), as Hope & Faith (2003)'s younger brother in the sitcom of the same name, and as hilarious party-boy Trouty on My Boys (2006). In 2006 he returned to his theater roots as he took on the role of conflicted but sweet male escort Alex in Douglas Carter Beane's play "The Little Dog Laughed," for which he received a 2007 Theatre World Award for Outstanding Browdway Debut.
In 2007 he was back on the small screens, starring as Leonard Hofstadter in the sitcom The Big Bang Theory (2007). Not only was Chuck Lorre, a former producer for Roseanne, a producer of the new show, but Sara Gilbert and Laurie Metcalf both made guest appearances.
Galecki is a self-admitted motorcycle "nerd," and rides a Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe. Although he never went to college, he has said: "I'm not dead! We should never stop learning. We should never stop absorbing," and so he learned how to play the cello in his early twenties. He likes traveling around the world, painting, music (he also plays bass), and hiking with his dog Vera.
He always has been very private about his personal life and little is known about past relationships. It has only been confirmed that he dated actresses Laura Harris and Kaley Cuoco. He isn't on twitter, and Galecki once said, "I don't understand the current frame of mind in our society that seems to say that any action is not of value until it's broadcast somehow."
He still lives in Los Angeles but is often spotted in Chicago, where his siblings still live.

The Navy commissioned its newest Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (DDG 121), May 14 in Charleston, South Carolina.
Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro attended the ceremony. He began by thanking the Petersen family for their lifetime of service to the nation. “All of us join you in honoring Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr.” Del Toro also recognized the plankowners bringing the ship to life. “As Secretary of the Navy I contribute all that I can to make sure that you and your families are equipped for the many challenges that lie ahead. That starts with making sure that you have the very best ship that our nation has to offer.”
The principal speaker was The Honorable Carlos Campbell, Naval aviator and former Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development, who served alongside Petersen and relayed stories exemplifying the general’s strength and dedication. Recalling Petersen’s ethic, Campbell said “He received a frag wound, he was treated in the field, and returned to combat.”
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday also attended the ceremony. “It’s fitting that a name synonymous with service and sacrifice be emblazoned on the steel of this American warship,” said Gilday. “Sailors aboard this mighty warship will deploy wherever, whenever needed, with General Petersen’s fighting spirit and tenacity, for generations to come.”
Gen. David Berger, Commandant of the Marine Corps, also attended the ceremony. “General Petersen was a man of many firsts," said Berger. “There’s a saying that ships take on the characteristics of their namesakes, and if that’s true, then God help any adversary to ever confronts the Frank E. Petersen, Jr.”
Ms. Gayle Petersen, Lt. Gen. Petersen’s daughter, expressed thanks on behalf of her family and made a special recognition. “We would not be having this ceremony today if not for a gentleman named Robert Adams. When my dad was shot down in Vietnam he was rescued by Robert Adams.” Gayle continued, “I would like to thank all who had a hand in building this ship, from stem to stern.”
Guest speakers for the event included The Honorable Nancy Mace, U.S Rep. from South Carolina’s 1st District; The Honorable John Tecklenberg, Mayor of Charleston, South Carolina; Mr. George Nungesser, Vice President of Program Management, Ingalls Shipbuilding.
The ship’s sponsors are Mrs. D’Arcy Ann Neller, wife of former Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Robert “Bob” Neller, USMC (Ret.), and the late Dr. Alicia J. Petersen, Lt. Gen. Petersen’s wife at the time of his passing in 2015. Dr. Petersen passed away in September 2021. Both sponsors participated in the keel laying, mast stepping, and christening ceremonies.
Mrs. Neller thanked the families. “Our service members can’t do what they do without you and your love and support. To the officers and crew. A ship without a crew is like a body without blood. You will all make this ship come alive.” She continued. “The namesake of this ship was a warrior. He always went to the sound of the guns; he was always prepared and smart about the risks he took. You all need to be the same. Always be prepared. Work hard and when the time comes, you will be ready to go into the jaw of the tiger.”
During the ceremony, USS Frank E. Petersen’s commanding officer Cmdr. Daniel Hancock, reported the ship ready. Assisted by Lt. Gen. Petersen’s daughters, Gayle Petersen, Dana Petersen Moore, Lindsay Pulliam, and Monique Petersen, Mrs. Neller gave the traditional order to “Man our ship and bring her to life!”
“Our incredible crew takes a great deal of pride in their work. I can find no better warrior namesake than General Frank E. Petersen Jr. None of us who know his story have ever forgotten that we are the heirs of that powerful legacy, and like the General, we have committed ourselves to owning the fight and carrying his torch proudly forward,” said Hancock. “I wish to express gratitude and pride. It is my greatest professional honor to serve with each of my crew. I am proud beyond measure. "
Lt. Gen. Petersen continues a family legacy of service begun by his great grandfather. Private Archibald (Archie) Charles McKinney enlisted in 1863 and served in the Mass 55th Company E during the Civil War. McKinney’s trip home included traveling aboard a steamship, disembarking at the Port of Charleston.
The future USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr. honors Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (USMC Ret.). Petersen was the first black USMC aviator and the first black Marine to become a three-star general. Petersen served two combat tours, Korea in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968. He flew more than 350 combat missions and had over 4,000 hours in various fighter and attack aircraft. Petersen passed away in Aug. 2015 at the age of 83.
Retiring in 1988 after 38 years of service, Petersen’s awards included the Defense Superior Service Medal; Legion of Merit with Combat "V”; Distinguished Flying Cross; Purple Heart; Meritorious Service Medal; Air Medal; Navy Commendation Medal with Combat "V;" and the Air Force Commendation Medal.
Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are the backbone of the U.S. Navy’s surface fleet. These highly capable, multi-mission ships conduct a variety of operations, from peacetime presence to national security providing a wide range of warfighting capabilities in multi-threat air, surface and subsurface.

He made history 44 years ago today!
Frank E. Petersen Jr. was born on March 2, 1932 in Topeka, Kansas, the U.S. Marine Corpsreports. According to BlackPast.org, he first joined the U.S. Navy in 1952, working as an electronics technician. Petersen later applied for the Naval Aviation Cadet Corps, completing his training and becoming a second lieutenant, making history as the first Black pilot in the Marine Corps. Petersen served in the Korean War in 1953 and the Vietnam war in 1968, earning six air medals, the Distinguished Flying Cross and flying more than 350 combat missions and more than 4,000 hours, earning the Purple Heart in 1968.
On February 23, 1967, Petersen made history as the first African-American to be promoted to the rank of brigadier general, serving 38 total years in the Navy and 36 as a Marine before his retirement on August 1, 1988. During that time, he also received his bachelor’s degree then a master’s in International Affairs in 1973, both from George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
Over the course of his career, he served as Special Assistant to the chief of Staff, as a member of the Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 212, as part of the Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314, and as the commanding general of the Marine Corps Combat Development Command. He also earned a Meritorious Service Medal for his work, garnering more than twenty medals for bravery in combat and serving as a senior ranking Marine Corps and Navy pilot from 1985 to 1988.
Petersen was a true pioneer and inspired a legion of other Black Marines after him, including Lt. Gen. Michael Langley, who recently became the first Black four-star general in the United States Marine Corps’ 240+ year history. After retirement, he continued his work with educational and research organizations like the Tuskegee Airmen, the national Aviation Research and Education Foundation, and Dupont Aviation, where he served as vice president. He passed away on August 25, 2015 at the age of 83. Last year, the Navy commissioned a new guided-missile destroyer named in Petersen’s honor.
“The ship’s motto, ‘Into the Tiger’s Jaw,’ is a phrase used by Petersen many times throughout his life to convey unbridled spirit in confronting and overcoming social injustice and prejudice as well as bravery in combat and courage in the broad sense,” explained the Petersen Commissioning Committee via statement.
As of July 2014, Petersen’s contributions to the Marine Corps are preserved in the House of Representatives Congressional Records archives. We remember his life and his work and we salute General Petersen. Because of him, we can!

By Glenn Sircy, Center for Information Warfare Training
PENSACOLA, Fla. – Cmdr. Daniel Hancock assumed command of the Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU), or future USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG 121) during a ceremony at the National Naval Aviation Museum onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, Sept. 27.
“Command of a warship carries incredible authority and responsibility for the commanding officer, so much so that the chief of naval operations is explicit in his expectations of those who hold command in the United States Navy and this underscores the significance of this ceremony,” said Capt. Adolfo H. Ibarra, director, Commander’s Action Group, Naval Surface Force Atlantic, and Hancock’s presiding officer. “Command is the foundation of which our Navy rests. Authority, responsibility and accountability are three essential principles that are at the heart of soul of command. Effective command is at risk if any of these principles are lacking or are out of balance. Command is a privilege bestowed on a select group of officers. It is also the most solemn a naval officer will ever undertake. Despite this absolute and awesome responsibility, it is a coveted positon and definitely well earned by Cmdr. Hancock.”
Hancock is the first commanding officer of the USS Frank E. Petersen Jr., currently under construction at Huntington Ingalls Industries shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi.
The future USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. is a guided-missile destroyer that weighs almost 9,300 tons, is 510 feet in length, has a waterline beam of 65.5 feet and a navigational draft of 31 feet. Four gas turbine engines will power the ship to speeds in excess of 30 knots.
The ship is named in honor of Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen Jr., the first African American Marine Corps aviator and the first African American Marine Corps officer promoted to brigadier general. When he retired in 1988 after 38 years of service, he was by date of designation, the senior-ranking aviator in the Marine Corps and the United States Navy.
The ceremony’s location has a special meaning and significance for Hancock. Marine Corps Maj. Daniel Iverson Jr., Hancock’s great uncle and his namesake, was awarded the Navy Cross and Silver Star for heroism in the Pacific during the Battle of Midway, and Hancock assumed command in front of his great uncle’s plane.
Iverson flew one of the famous 16 Douglas SBD-2 Dauntless, a World War II American naval scout plane and dive bomber that initiated the first attack on the Japanese fleet approaching USS Midway in June 1942. Eight planes were shot down in the battle. First Lt. Iverson flew back to Midway following the battle, landing his severely damaged plane on one wheel with 219 bullet holes. The plane was patched and returned to the U.S., where it was used for training until crashing into Lake Michigan. The plane was later recovered, restored and now is on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum.
“Maj. Daniel Iverson Jr.–Dan or Danny as his friends and Marines called him–is my namesake -and my inspiration for joining the service,” shared Hancock. “He is also a bona fide American hero. I could spend all day beaming with pride and reading his citations to you, but I’ll simply say this: He typified the ‘greatest generation!’”
The USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. will be configured as a Flight IIA destroyer, which enables power projection, forward presence and escort operations at sea in support of low-intensity conflict/coastal and littoral offshore warfare, as well as open ocean conflict.
“I have been given absolute responsibility,” said Hancock. “While I can push authority down the chain of command and delegate it, I can never shirk the absolute responsibility of command and the accountability it demands. I am grateful for this opportunity, humbled by the burden, and committed to the cause in front of me. To my officers, chiefs and Sailors, I am ready to lead you and serve alongside you. I promise you my best because you deserve it. You represent the best of the republic and I am honored to sail with you as a team. You are helping me form the culture of the most lethal warship ever created. DDG 121 is built for the near-peer, high end, Great Power Competition fight. We have to be ready for war today, and together, we will be ready to conduct combat operations anywhere, anytime.”
In closing remarks, Hancock shared motivational words of wisdom with his crew.
“Treat each other with respect and let’s remember the ‘Golden Rule’– take care of the ship and she will take care of all of us. We will sail fast, shoot straight and speak truth. Remember, ‘Frank’ owns the fight. Let’s get her to sea! It is the honor of my lifetime to be your captain.”

The ship bearing Frank E. Peterson Jr.’s name, the USS Frank E. Petersen Jr., is set to join the naval fleet in 2020. Petersen, a decorated military officer and fighter pilot died in 2015 at his home in Stevensville, Md. at the age of 83.
Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen
On Nov. 9, at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced that the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, DDG 121, will be named Frank E. Petersen Jr., in honor of the Marine Corps lieutenant general who was the first Black Marine Corps aviator and the first Black Marine Corps general officer.
Mabus said during the announcement “The courage and perseverance of Lt. Gen. Petersen throughout his distinguished and ground-breaking career make him especially deserving of this honor.” He continued, “Those who serve aboard DDG 121 will, for decades, carry on the storied legacy of this Marine Corps hero.”
Construction began on the future USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG 121) April 27 at the Huntington Ingalls Industries shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss.
In 1950, two years after President Harry S. Truman desegregated the armed forces, Petersen enlisted in the Navy. Two years later, in 1952, Petersen was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps. He would go on to fly 350 combat missions during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Petersen also went on to become the first Black in the Marine Corps to command a fighter squadron, an air group and a major base.
Petersen retired from the Marine Corps in 1988 after 38 years of service. At the time of his retirement he was the senior-ranking aviator in the Marine Corps and the United States Navy.
“It’s a tremendous honor, said Dana Moore, Petersen’s second of five children. “It’s a destroyer but in its description it will have a peacekeeping mission as well as being prepared for battle. It was only as a last resort that he would want to do battle and I think it’s the perfect embodiment of him. It’s a tremendous honor and we’re thankful to the Navy,” said Moore, owner and founder of Baltimore based law firm Petersen Moore.

Christening of USS Frank Emmanuel Petersen, Jr. (DDG 121)
The Descendants of the Korean War Foundation (DKWF) is proud to announce the christening of the USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (DDG 121) in honor of the late Frank E. Petersen, Jr., a Korean War veteran. The christening will be held October 6, 2018, in Pascagoula, Mississippi, at the Huntington Ingalls Industries Shipyard.
Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (March 2, 1932 – August 25, 2015) was the first African American USMC; aviator, Brigadier General, Major General and Lieutenant General. Petersen retired from the Marine Corps in 1988 after 38 years of service. At the time of his retirement he was by date of aviator designation the senior ranking aviator in the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Navy with respective titles of ‘Silver Hawk’ and Gray Eagle. His date of designation as an aviator also precedes all other aviators in the U.S. Air Force and Army. The Frank E Petersen, Jr. (DDG 121) is configured as a Flight IIA destroyer, which enables power projection, forward presence, and escort operations at sea in support of Low Intensity Conflict/Coastal and Littoral Offshore Warfare as well as open ocean conflict.
“The late General Petersen, Jr., was highly decorated for his bravery and leadership throughout his uniformed service. DDG121 will continue the lifelong mission of the General, to protect and safeguard this nation and the world. DKWF applauds the christening in honor of the General, a Korean War veteran. I look forward to joining the Petersen family, the Commandant for the U.S. Marine Corp and the U.S. Navy to witness and celebrate this historic day in Pascagoula, Mississippi,” said Justin Rhee, DKWF President.
DKWF, a 501(c)3 non-profit and fully volunteer-run organization, is dedicated to recognizing, remembering and honoring the U.S. men and women who fought for freedom and democracy during the Korean War, often referred to as the Forgotten War. More information about DKWF projects can be obtained via our website, www.DescendantsOfKoreanWar.org.

The first ever black Marine Corps pilot, who fought endemic racism to rise to the rank of three-star general, has died aged 83.
From the moment he signed up to the Navy as a seaman apprentice in 1950, Frank E. Petersen Jr. was under no illusions as to the challenge he faced.
The native of Topeka, Kansas, aced his entrance exam but was called a few days later and asked to re-take it because it was thought he had cheated.
And when he breezed through it a second time the petty officer third class overseeing the test told him, 'The Navy has opportunities for guys like you...My God, man, what a steward you'd make,' according to The Washington Post.
If that was at the very least patronising it was as nothing compared to the naked prejudice of the Jim Crow south which Petersen faced every time he left the flight training base in Pensacola, Florida.
He was not allowed to sit with white cadets in restaurants or cinemas and was sent to the back of the coach by bus drivers when traveling.
Despite the fact president Harry Truman ordered the desegregation of the armed forces in 1948, the prejudice of some within the Navy persisted.
One instructor marked him down on his flight training, though he said white comrades came to his defence.
Commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps, he earned the Distinguished Flying Cross for his performances on 64 combat missions in Korea in 1953.
When he married his first wife in 1955 he was a pilot on rotation for test flights on aircraft armed with the atomic bomb and was called for a flight on the night of his wedding.
A tour of duty in Vietnam commanding a tactical air squadron in more than 250 missions followed in 1968, and he received the Purple Heart for being wounded when he had to eject because his plane was struck by anti-aircraft fire.
Petersen described the situation in Vietnam as a 'mess', with U.S. forces beset by racial strife. Black soldiers were angry at what they saw as institutional racism, further inflamed by events at home with the assassination of Martin Luther King.
Petersen had to step in to talk eight black dissidents out of their plan to assassinate a white military commander and he reported the plot to his superiors.
In total he racked up more than 4,000 hours in fighter and attack aircraft before stepping back from the front line and beginning his rise up the administrative ranks in the 1970s, working to get more black officers commissioned.
He ended his military career in 1988 as commanding general of the Combat Development Command at Quantico, Virginia, in charge of more than 7,000 military personnel and nearly 6,000 civilians.
Petersen was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for exceptionally meritorious service on his retirement.
He was the first African American to command a fighter squadron, a fighter air group, an air wing and a major base.
He had five children, a grandson and three great-grandchildren. He died on August 25 at his home in Stevensville on Kent Island in Maryland from complications caused by lung cancer.
He passed away believing that his remarkable career had made a difference to his fellow African American servicemen.
His son said Petersen loved living on the Chesapeake Bay and being on the water.
As tough as he had to be as a Marine, his son said: 'He was as peaceful and gentle as you could ask a dad to be and was always there for us,' adding that 'even to his last day' his father never complained.

Frank Edmund White JR. passed away November 2, 2021, in Hesston, Kansas.
He was born on April 27, 1943, in Corpus Christi, Texas, the son of Frank Edmund Sr. and Treva (Sartin) White.
Frank grew up on a dairy farm in Cedar Vale and as he always said “we kids were the hired hands until we left for college.” His interest in farming never left him thought and one interest in the last few years has been tractor auctions on RFD TV. He worked his way thru college and law school at Fleming Foods in Topeka. Frank would get an interest in something and then pursue it until he knew all about it.
In 1966 rank entered the US Navy. After boot camp he was assigned to the Coral Sea CVA-43 (an aircraft carrier) which was stationed off the coast of Vietnam on Yankee Station. He advanced quickly in rank doing various tasks in X division and was a 2nd class petty officer on discharge in 1970. He received the following medals: National Defense Service medal, Vietnam Service medal (5 campaigns), and the Armed Forces Expeditionary medal (Korea). The Coral Sea was in the Sea of Japan when the Pueblo ship was seized. Prior to returning to the US in 1970 the Coral Sea made a good will visit to Australia. Frank was proud to serve in the Navy.
Following Graduation from law school and passing the bar exam, Frank practiced law in Kansas in Leavenworth and then Sedan. He was the county attorney in Chatauqua County for 11 years. In 1991, he moved to Wichita and assumed duties as an assistant district attorney until retirement in 2008.
Frank & Linda moved to Schowalter Villa in Hesston’s independent living in June 2008. They enjoyed traveling by car, motorcycles and with the travel trailer for 8 years until medical issues interfered. Interests included bluegrass festivals, roller coasters, reading and music. Frank was an avid reader and had a good memory of what he read and loved to share that knowledge. Sometimes passionately in “lawyer voice.”
Frank is survived by his wife, Linda; sons, Frank White (Natasha) of McPherson KS, Sean White (Wenda) of Aiken SC, Rick Horton (Patti) of Bixby OK; 5 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Siblings, Rob White (Peggy) of Wolfe City TX, Cheryl Raborn of Junction City KS and 3 nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, brother-in-law Pat Petitte and Glen Raborn and former wife, Donna. He will be missed beyond measure.
A memorial service will be at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 6, 2021, at the First United Methodist Church in Valley Center, 560 N. Park Ave., Valley Center, Kansas.

BALTIMORE (AP) - Frank E. Petersen Jr., the first black aviator and brigadier general in Marine Corps, has died.
Frank E. Petersen III says his father died Tuesday at his home in Stevensville, Maryland, of complications from lung cancer. He was 83.
According to a news release on the Marine Corps website, Petersen was commissioned in the corps in 1952. The Marines say Petersen served in the Korean War in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968.
During his career, Petersen flew more than 350 combat missions and more than 4,000 hours.
Petersen was promoted to brigadier general in 1979. He retired in 1988.
As tough as he had to be as a Marine, his son said, "He was as peaceful and gentle as you could ask a dad to be."

Today’s #VeteranOfTheDay is Navy and Marine Corps Veteran Frank E. Petersen, Jr. Frank served from 1950 to 1988.
Frank Petersen Jr. was born in Kansas in 1932. He was 9 years old when Pearl Harbor was attacked, and learning about it inspired him to serve. Following his high school graduation, Frank enrolled in Washburn University in Topeka but decided to leave college.
At the age of 18, Frank enlisted in the Navy. When Frank took the Navy entrance exam in 1950, he passed with flying colors. Because of his race, the recruiting officers believed he had cheated on his exams, and made him sit for the test again. After enlisting in the Navy, Frank trained to work as an electronics technician. By 1951, Frank entered the Naval Aviation Cadet Program. By 1952, he had become a Marine. During his career in the Marines, Frank earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in international affairs from George Washington University. Frank made history when he became the first black Marine Corps general.
After 38 years in the service, Frank retired from the Marine Corps as a three-star general. His service earned him a Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, the Purple Heart, and many other awards. In 1968, Frank’s fighter attack squadron earned the Robert M. Hanson Award for their outstanding performance in Vietnam. In total, he flew over 350 missions and spent over 4,000 hours in different aircraft while serving in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. At the age of 83, Frank passed away due to lung cancer.
We honor his service.

He served for nearly four decades.
The Navy is commissioning a new destroyer named after the Marine Corps’ first Black aviator, The Post and Courier reports.
Frank E. Petersen, Jr. was born March 2, 1932 in Topeka, Kansas. He joined the Navy in 1950 as a seaman apprentice, working as an electronics technician up until 1951 when he decided to join the Naval Aviation Cadet Program. By October 1952, he had completed flight training, subsequently accepting a commission as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps, making history as the Marine Corps’ first Black aviator and general officer.
During his time in the Corps, Petersen served two combat tours, flying in Korea in 1953 and again in Vietnam in 1968. Over the course of his tenure, he flew more than 350 combat missions, garnering over 4,000 flight hours in various fighting aircraft. Petersen retired as a lieutenant general in 1988, passing away at the age of 83 in August 2015. Now, the Navy is commissioning a new guided-missile destroyer that will be named in honor of Petersen.
The Frank E. Petersen Jr., is an Arleigh Burke-class vessel that will be commissioned in Charleston. The vessel has already completed its sea trials and is headed to Charleston after it leaves the Inglis Shipbuilding site in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The vessel is 513 feet long with a beam of 66 feet and a 33 foot navigational draft. The ship is powered by four General Electric LM2500 gas turbines and has speed capability of more than 30 knots. Once the ship goes online, it will be homeported at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii, the 33rd destroyer built at Pascagoula with five more currently under construction. The Petersen ship’s motto is even taken from Petersen’s 1998 autobiography of the same name.
“The ship’s motto, ‘Into the Tiger’s Jaw,’ is a phrase used by Petersen many times throughout his life to convey unbridled spirit in confronting and overcoming social injustice and prejudice as well as bravery in combat and courage in the broad sense,” explained the Petersen Commissioning Committee via statement.
Commander Daniel A. Hancock is expected to serve as commanding officer of a 32 officer crew with 297 enlisted personnel aboard the Petersen ship. While the late aviator had no ties to the city of Charleston, it is customary that the Navy host commissioning ceremonies in towns with Navy traditions, Charleston having one of the largest Marine Corps presence in the country.
The commissioning ceremony will take place at the Columbus Street Terminal on May 14th at 10 a.m. The ceremony is open to the public and tickets may be requested at ddg121commissioning.org.
Thank you for your service, Mr. Peterson.

The new Navy guided-missile destroyer carrying the name Frank E. Petersen Jr to be commissioned on May 14 in South Carolina
A warship bearing the name of a barrier-breaking Black service member is set to enter the Navy fleet next month.
The late Frank E. Petersen Jr. was the Marine Corp’s first Black aviator and officer to reach the rank of brigadier general, according to the Marine Corps.
On May 14, the Navy guided-missile destroyer, an Arleigh Burke-class vessel, that was named for him will be commissioned in Charleston, South Carolina, according to The Post and Courier.
“I don’t view my accomplishments as anything that was so much out of the ordinary,” Petersen said in a Marine video entitled “Breaking Barriers.” “The opportunities were there. I’m more proud of the fact that at the time of my retirement, I was the senior aviator in the United States Marine Corps.”
The ship, nearly 510 feet long, will carry 32 officers and 297 enlisted personnel, according to the U.S. Navy Office of Information.
Petersen was born in Topeka, Kansas, on March 2, 1932. He spent two years in the Navy before entering the Marine Corp in 1952. He served in the wars in Korea in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968, and flew more than 4,000 hours in various aircraft and 350 combat missions over his career, the Marine Corps noted on its website.
In 1979, The Marine Corps promoted Petersen to brigadier general. He retired in 1988.
Petersen’s honors include the Purple Heart, the Distinguished Flying Cross, and the Meritorious Service Medal, according to the Marines.
“The barriers that were overcome I feel proud of having been part of that,” Petersen said in the video interview. “But for every bad event that happened to me — I say bad event in terms of the things that may have happened to me — there are counterpoints. So, it’s sort of a balance, the good and the bad, but now there’s a hell of a lot more good than bad.”
But Petersen also said he was proud of his story.
“To put too much emphasis on the racial aspect it’s almost as if to say, ‘Wow, a Black guy did this, a Black guy did that,” he said.
“I’m not being humble, but I don’t want to overplay the issues that because you are Black that you have done something no one else could have done. That’s demeaning to me, so I don’t go for that.”
