NEW VOLUNTEERS
We are continuously blessed with new people volunteering their time to help us here at the Museum.
Since the last issue of the WASSUP, we have not added to our team of volunteers. The Museum is
always looking for a “few good men & women” to add to our team. New volunteers joining our team
since the last newsletter are:

                                 Fred Joyner – Special Projects
                                      Francis Joyce – Host
                                    Elmer Zurakowski – Host
                                      Max Lyszczyk – Host
                             Richard Vanderhoof – Air Park Displays

  Please recruit your family members and/or friends to volunteer @ the Museum. We are
always in need of weekend docents especially and a couple of our Tuesday/Friday teams are
                            also in desperate need of volunteers.

THINGS TO REMEMBER:
        (1) DBIDS cards will be issued ONLY to the persons on the validated list allowing them
access to the Base;
        (2) If your spouse needs unescorted access to the Base to drop you off or pick you up,
he/she will need to get his or her own DBIDS card. The DBIDS cards were requested for the
current period, BUT if you picked up a new DBIDS card before the expiration of the old one, the
new one will expire one year after the issuance of the new one.
        (3) Keep your eye on that expiration date as they are not all the same. Do not forget to
get your “NEW DBIDS” card before your current one expires!
        (4) Your Social Security number will be required to be confirmed before your DBIDS card
can be issued, so you will have to present either your physical Social Security card or a copy of a
physical IRS Form (such as a W-2) to confirm that number.

DBIDS cards are issued at the Vehicle Registration desk in the Visitor’s Center north of the Main
Gate at the intersection of M-59 and Jefferson Avenue.

7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday thru Saturday.
       Due to staffing limitations, the Visitor’s Center is closed the Saturday before a Federal
holiday, Sundays, Federal holidays, and on Saturdays and Mondays for lunch (time varies
depending on their workload). It is recommended that you call before you try to get your pass,
regardless of the day you plan to arrive. Their phone number is 586-239-6849.
       DBIDS cards have been requested solely for participation in Museum activities, the
performance of Museum business at other on-Base locations, and transportation to/from on-
Base eating establishments. Do not use this pass for any other reason!

127th Wing – New Commander

   Selfridge Air Base Welcomes New Leader: Mammen ‘humbled’ by
                  ceremony to replace retiring Slocum

         Close to 1,000 airmen in the 127th Wing at Selfridge Air National Guard Base delivered
their first unified salute Saturday to the new commander, BG Rolf E. Mammen. Mammen
responded, “Wow, this is quite the honor. This is amazing to look out over everybody here. I’m
just humbled to be here.”
         Mammen took over the Harrison Township base to replace retiring BG John D. Slocum,
in a ceremony in a hangar at the base that was also attended by dignitaries, former Air Force
brethren and family of both men.
         Slocum served as commander for more than four years, leading the 2017 effort, albeit
unsuccessful, to land the F-35A, increasing the base’s connection to the community and guiding
it through its 100th anniversary celebration, also in 2017.
         Mammen who resides in Grosse Pointe, said while the ceremony honored the transition,
it really was about the 1,400 or so airmen in the wing, about three-quarters of who were standing
at attention behind more than 100 people seated in front of the stage.
         “I see my job first and foremost as to help you do your job,” Mammen told them. “I want
to get in the way of any detractor from keeping you as doing your job. That way you can do
your job, take care of yourself and take care of your family.” He noted most of the airmen are
part-timers who work in all types of professions and should be recognized for their sacrifice.
“They work in the community, they live in the community. They’re our neighbors,” he said.
“We cannot get a bomb on target or an aircraft refueled without every one of those members
back there doing their job.
         “What we do isn’t normal. And what we do is not routine. It is not easy. It is hard. It is
absolutely necessary. Our communities, our nation depend on us to stand ready as part of our
national security structure.” Mammen and speakers said everyone should pay tribute to the
approximately 350 reservists currently deployed overseas, “probably 10 or 12 time zones away.”

Mammen, who had been the Director of Operations at the Headquarters Michigan Air National
Guard in Lansing, was promoted from Colonel to Brigadier General earlier Saturday in a smaller
ceremony. Prior to his latest assignment, Mammen spent 22 years at Selfridge, serving in many
capacities, more recently as vice commander for less than a year in 2016 and before that more
than three years as commander of the 127th Wing Maintenance Group. He also piloted C-26 and
C-130 aircraft at Selfridge.
        He described his reaction when Major General Leonard W. Isabelle, Jr., assistant adjutant
general and commander of the Michigan Air National Guard, called him to offer him the post. “I
think I actually jumped out of my seat and I said, ‘You bet,’ he said. I was ready, I was excited
to come back to this organization.”
        Isabelle praised Mammen’s pedigree and values saying, “He’s always made
organizations better.” “He’s my No. 1 choice,” Isabelle said. “He’s tailor-made to be your Wing
commander. He has probably the best understanding of the 127th Wing of anybody in the state.
You’re in very good hands. His resume is impeccable, but more importantly he lives core values
and will demand that of all of you.”
        Slocum, befitting his reputation, kept his comments brief and direct. He said the airman
during his tenure “reached new levels of excellence.” “Men and women of the 127th Wing, you
have done exactly what I’ve asked you to do,” he said. “When we started 4-1/2 years ago, you
didn’t know what to expect, and I really didn’t know what to expect from you. I had no idea you
are as good as you are.”
        He credited the airmen with setting standards that he said makes the wing the best in the
country. Under Slocum, there were more than 2,400 deployments of wing members.
Everybody in here is a warrior,” he said. “It has been my pleasure, my honor to serve you.”
        The event was attended by U.S. Rep. Any Levin and Tony Forlini, former state
representative and current aide to U.S. Rep. Paul Mitchell, among others. Folini praised Slocum
who began when Forlini was in the Legislature, for his efforts to reach out and get things done.
He was special,” Forlini said after the ceremony. Sgt. Dan Heaton served as the master of
ceremonies. Members of Slocum’s and Mammen’s families were presented bouquets of flowers.

FAREWELL, BG SLOCUM

Brig. Gen. John D. “Odie” Slocum, former 127th Wing commander, concluded a 35-year Air
Force career during a retirement ceremony at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Michigan on
5 May 2019. During Slocum’s tenure, the 127th Wing earned the Spaatz Award, presented to
the top flying wing in the Air National Guard; earned an Air Force Meritorious Unit Award; and
celebrated milestone anniversaries of the base (100 years) and the 127th Wing’s two flying
units, the 107th Fighter Squadron (100 years) and the 171st Air Refueling Squadron (75 years).
Check out the video on the 127th Wing’s Facebook page for highlights of these
accomplishments: (https://www.facebook.com/127thWing/?__tn__=%2Cd%2CP-
R&eid=ARDsf6vmypIOKUTnK8dUIDt-StPtncJpVv6Z20Ox4LtHfEqD_OHAazptXomTjW-
Z1v773j1WJJtplUWu). Since he’s staying in the area, hopefully he won’t be a stranger to the
Museum. Hmmm…think maybe we can get him on-board as a volunteer?

Library Research Team:

The Library Research team is continuing work on the digitization of the photos and documents
in our multiple file cabinets and the creation of an index of our archival holdings. Regular
volunteers, Pat Williams and Mary Lou Pearsall along with Team Chief, Lori Nye are the ones
working on this project. Joe Mazzara is conscientiously and diligently scouring the Museum’s
collection of Air National Guard Yearbooks, Selfridge Field history articles and books, and the
Internet on his research to build a biographical sketch of the Base Commanders @ Selfridge
Field from its beginning through the present day. Patrick, our newest volunteer, because of his
expertise as an architect, has been re-assigned to the Special Projects Team under Assistant
Director, Bob Hudson. Team Chief, Lori Nye will tackle the inventory of the existing book
collection and rebuild an accurate listing of the Museum Library’s reference collection adding in
all the new titles that have been waiting while the Library Team waits on the upgrade of
software/hardware or replacement of the computer used for this project. Now that our ‘open
season’ is here, this upgrade will be put on hold once again while Dave Leasia, Team Chief of
Information Technology dons his hat as Team Chief of Grounds.
        The Library Team has sorted a large bag of military patches that was donated to us,
sorting out those patches that specifically apply to the history of the squadrons either currently,
or once stationed at Selfridge. The rest of the patches will eventually be photographed in
batches and uploaded to eBay for sale. The patches pertaining to the history of squadrons at
Selfridge will eventually be added to the inventory of artifacts and hopefully make it out on
display in the near, not too distant future. In the process of sorting the patches, the Library
team responded to a request for information on 191st AMX patches. I scanned the patches I
found in the donated ones that may fit this
request of Josh Camp and emailed him the
image. [CLOSED].
        The Library Research Team and Visual
Information Team received a request from
Chris Meister for photos of buildings designed

                                                 by Albert Kahn. The teams supplied him with
                                                 photos from the Library’s Archives.. See some
                                                 of these photos below. [CLOSED] The early
                                                 construction was designed by Albert Kahn and
                                                 Walter Tower, Architects from the Detroit area.
Museum Happenings (cont.)
Construction of the base in 1917 was done by Walbridge – Aldinger, Builders also from Detroit.
Walbridge is still in operation today, celebrating more than 100 years of business. This next
photo, though quite a bit later in time, than the first two photos, shows the early construction
of the base into the 1930s. The aircraft in the aerial photo below are Curtiss P-6E Hawks of the
First Pursuit Group and the 17th Pursuit “Snow Owls” Squadron. The aircraft in the lower right
is believed to be a Boeing P-12B. Hopefully the Selfridge Military Air Museum will receive
mention in Chris Meister’s upcoming book on Albert Kahn. (Note: Photos are from the
Museum’s Library/Archives. Please do not use without permission.)

Restoration Team:

The Restoration Team led by Darrel Rohrbeck is continuing their steady progress on restoring
the Museum’s FG-1D Corsair. Steady progress has been made and one wing is done with
maybe some additional minor work, ready to paint, and work is progressing on the 2nd wing.
Check out the Museum’s website @ www.selfridgeairmuseum.org, if you’re interested in
donating to this worthy cause. The Team Chief’s at their last meeting voted to pursue
additional fundraising and quotes for the building of an addition to our SPAD Hangar to house
the restored Corsair.

Grounds Team:

The Grounds Team volunteers are back in full swing with grass mowing, weeding the flower
beds, and trimming around the aircraft. We’re all hoping for a successful year on getting some
                                                      projects completed that have been
                                                      hanging around on the ‘Projects List’ for
                                                      a couple of years: sump pump area,
                                                      windows & floors repaired/replaced with
                                                      awning of trailer installed that house the
                                                      public restrooms, etc. Hopefully with

                                                      pedestal following its short, brief flight
                                                      into the garden at its base, back in the
                                                      Fall 2017.

Visual Information Team:

Jon Earl, Visual Information Team member has returned from a winter hiatus to continue work
on his uniform project that he restarted chronicling a while back. While off on hiatus he was
not idle, though, as he continued work on the scanning of large format films from the Library’s
archives using his home-based equipment. Next on his to-do list is scanning & indexing 4x6
negatives in the Library’s archives. This project will benefit both the Library Team and Visual
Information Team in having a digitized copy of the negatives and an index for easy access to
those photos. Team Chief, Rob Sandstrom is taking the summer off from active, on-site
volunteering as he is back to work for a few months.
Museum Happenings (cont.)
Redesign of Museum Display:

Over the last few months the museum display has been undergoing a redesign. So make sure
you stop by during our ‘Open Season’, April through October to check it out! Here are some
highlights:

Our ‘temporary display’ team has finally completed a three month project depicting the aircraft
of the 107th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron in WW II. The diorama depicts RAF Membury,
the airfield that it was initially based out of from 1943 till two weeks after D-Day when it moved
to France. Aircraft depicted range from the very first front line fighter (the Spitfire Mk V) thru
the different variants of the North American F-6s (Photo Recon versions of the P-51 Mustang).
We want to thank the following individuals who made this project a reality:

To Patrick Kopytek and Fred Schwarz, Team Leads who gave this project it's vision and expertise
over and above their collective modeling skills. We also salute and thank the master Model
Builders: Blane Zublin, Glen Broman, Dr. Bill Kalmar, Kevin Kenny, Ron Lebert, MSgt (Ret'd)
James Ashford, CDR Lynn Baughman (USN Ret), and John Robbins.

For a close-up view of the artistic design and creativity of this display you will truly have to visit
the museum during our ‘open season’. Other additions and changes have also been made, so
please make a point to put a visit to the Selfridge Military Air Museum on your calendar.

                                      Volunteers Needed!
                  Please recruit your friends & family to volunteer as a weekend docent in the
                  Gift Shop, Flight Training area, SPAD Hangar, or as an Inside/Outside floater.
                  Their volunteering will continue to promote the history of the Air National
Guard @ Selfridge and the history of Selfridge Air National Guard Base for the next 100 years.
We’re also looking ‘for a few good men & women’ to serve as volunteers on the Tuesday &
Friday gigs, but our weekend docents really need a “boost” in numbers!!!!!!!! If volunteering as
a weekend docent, standard procedure is about 10 days per season, but if you can only give the
museum two to four, don’t let that stop you from applying. We may have funds to keep the
Museum operational, but without volunteers, we don’t have a Museum! You can obtain the
Volunteer Application Form from the Museum’s website http://www.selfridgeairmuseum.org,
or call the Museum Director and he’ll send you the application (586-239-6768; or email:
info@selfridgeairmuseum.org. If you can recruit friends and family, to volunteer as a weekend
docent or on one of our Tuesday/Friday group of volunteer teams, here are the areas where we
desperately need help. Look for the areas with an asterisk *.

18th. Watch the Selfridge Military Air Museum Facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/events/298158117737518/ for registration details. This is open to
all those who served at Selfridge and all branches of service are welcome.

Michigan Activity Pass:

In the near future, well before our ‘open season’ ends in October, the Selfridge Military Air
Museum will have joined the Michigan Activity Pass. These passes will be available at your local
public libraries for a 7-day check-out period. The pass will be: Buy one Adult, Get One Child
(ages 4-12) Free. Check the Michigan Activity Pass website for locating the Museum’s available
pass in the near future. https://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ Paperwork still has to be completed on our
end and submitted to finalize our inclusion in this project – stay tuned.
EDITORIAL
This is where our beloved Museum Director gets a chance to vent. Please do not
take these ramblings personally…

   • I’ll say it again and keep saying it until everyone gets the word! ONLY THE
     CURATOR (DICK SOULES) OR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (THAT’S ME) CAN
     ACCEPT A DONATION TO THE MUSEUM! Do not bring anything from your
     home or from others that is to be donated to the Museum unless you first
     come thru me or Dick! We keep getting stuff that I have to back door thru
     the review, acceptance and inventory process and it’s getting a little old
     trying to figure out what happened and when after the fact.
   • For those of you who have our Museum Master Card number memorized
     or on a piece of paper, it has changed! See me or call me and I’ll share it
     with you.
   • Please consider becoming a member of the Michigan Air National Air Guard
     Historical Association (MAGHA). Membership in our parent organization is
     certainly not a requirement to be an Air Museum volunteer, however, the
     membership donations we receive are a significant part of our yearly
     income and provide us with the financial wherewithal to reimburse you for
     purchases you make on our behalf and to fund needed improvements to
     our operation. We presently have over 110 volunteers on our rolls and over
     50% have chosen not to become members of MAGHA. Please consider
     joining our Historical Association…a membership application is on the last
     page of this newsletter.
   • For those of you that purchase from Grainger, we now have our own
     account instead of sharing the Base Supply account. Our account number is
     884941782.
   • If I sometimes seem a little frazzled or annoyed, please forgive me as I
     sometimes feel like I’m getting ready to fall into my full plate. I can’t begin
     to count the number of times that a conversation begins with “Wouldn’t it
     be great if we…” and “we” usually translates to me!
2019 GOALS
               It never ends…

           •   Purge our storage areas of assets that are excess to our current and future
               needs, a long-term and ongoing effort.
           •   Training more of our “full-time” volunteers on aircraft corrosion control.
           •   Training our weekend hosts
           •   Cataloguing, digitizing, and filing historic photos.
           •   Restoring the FG-1D “Corsair” using industry-standard components. The “plan” is
               to restore portions of it in Bldg 1007 for final assembly in Bldg 1045. Expect the
               Corsair to be moved out of the Air Park when the AT-6 gets placed in the Air Park
               and to be moved back to the Air Park in the summer/fall of 2015.

                                    GOLF SHIRTS
One of the ways we say “thank you” to our volunteers who do more than just say they want to
volunteer and then either don’t show up or come in one time and then leave is to provide
them with a golf shirt in a size of their choice with the Museum logo and their name
embroidered on it. The initial golf shirt is free. If additional or replacement shirts are needed,
we’ll order and mail them to you with an invoice for just our cost for the shirt(s) requested.

It’s hard to keep track of who wanted a shirt (some don’t) and who received one already, so
until I hear to the contrary, I’m going to assume that all of our current volunteers have already
received their shirt. If my assumption is incorrect, and it probably is, please call me and we’ll
get it on order.
