John and Tom are Life Members of the LA Chapter and Tom Mcleod is also a Bodfish Chapter Life Member. Hopefully we can get John Allen to finally join the Bodfish at the Campout this February. John has talked about joining for years, perhaps February 2015 will be his year to join the Internationally Famous Chapter of the FMDA. A Night Out Emily and I joined Colonel Mike and Ann Scalise for their annual Christmas Party at MCLB Barstow on December 19th. We had a fun time and good food. Col. Scalise is the Commanding Officer of Marine Corps Logistic Base Barstow, CA. Also within his command is the USMC Mounted Color Guard. In visiting with Col. Scalise he has assured me, baring any unforeseen incident, that the Horse Marines will be at the 2015 Bodfish Campout. Col. Scalise and his wife Ann may join us in February for the Bodfish Campout. He missed last years campout and was looking forward to becoming a Bodfisher. Perhaps he will be graced with the Bodfish title and membership in February. Del Mar Campout Update A Committee, chaired by Norm Kellems, is being formed to look into a Del Mar Campout in 2015. Issues of concern will the acquisition of Insurance to cover us while on base. The Chapter has learned that coverage through the FMDA, which as a Chapter we pay for, is limited and the insurance company W.B. Adams is not willing to cover us at our current premium rate. Therefore they farm it our to anther insurance carrier who is asking too much to cover the two day event, $800.00. We will what and see what the committee comes up with. Until next month, Semper Fi and Bodfish Forever… D.T. JANUARY 2015 Page 6 BODFISH SKINNY …....or just plain BS NORM “IAS” KELLEMS PRESIDENT Feb 2014– Feb 2015 Bodfish Forever!! Our Bodfish President has been real busy with family matters ranging from family funerals for a 90+ year old grandmother and a brother to a wedding of a daughter. So as Marines do, we will help him out this month. Besides the Snail Mail Version of the Newsletter is do to the printer tomorrow morning , 22 December. The Bodfish campout is next month and things are shaping up very well. As of 22 December 2014 we already have 56 people pre-registered . Bonnie Clark and Ruth Davis are all signed up and ready to start checking people in. They have been doing the check-in since mid 1960’s. We will be sharing lunch on Friday ( Our Big Meal of the day) with the members of the Piru Petroleum Club. They are looking forward to seeing us again and visiting with old friends and making new ones This year we will have a Bodfish Field PX. Bodfish VP Gene Wuestenfield and Bodfish Treasurer Robert Carroll will be manning that station. They will have some really “must have” items for sale. We are going to have a “Silent Auction” this year. Max Felser has offered to help with the set up and management. The involvement of our members means an awful lot to the success of all that we do and are able to achieve. This campout can not work with just one person, it takes a team. We will be presenting the Bodfish Sword of Honor and a Devil Doc Award again this year to an active duty Marine and FMF Corpsman. The Horse Marines will be on station to handle the morning and evening colors and to provide some great photo opportunities. They will also assist with the BFRD.

Don’t miss it or it will cost you at least $15.00 more at the door. Semper Fi and Bodfish Forever!! BFPP’s On Saturday, 13 December 2014 members, family and friends came together to celebrate the Holiday Season in the banquet room at “ Monterey at Encino” Guests were greeted at the check in table by members of the Santa Clarita Valley Young Marines . Dale Turner opened the party with a greeting and introduction of Past Chapter Presidents , current Chapter President and guests. Phil Olivero lead us all in the pledge of allegiance followed by our Chapter Chaplain , Bill Turner with a prayer and blessing of the meal. Chapter President Nile Holmes thanked everyone for coming to the party and then , in the spirit of Christmas, called Tim Stratton , Commanding Officer of the Santa Clarita Valley Young Marines, to the podium. Nile, on behalf of the Chapter, presented Tim Stratton with a check in the amount of $320.00 for the Young Marines. The donation is to be used for the purchase of two new parade rifles and accessories for the Santa Clarita Valley Young Marines program, items the Young Marines have been trying to secure funds for. Merry Christmas SCV Young Marines. Tim is a life member of the LA Chapter and a retired Master Sergeant USMCR. Tim works for the City of Los Angeles at the Convention Center. The Young Marines did an outstanding job in helping with the raffle prize table, verifying the winning numbers and presenting the prizes to the winners. The adult staff leaders took pictures of the Young Marines and our guests at each table. Many thanks to all those who brought a gift for the raffle table. Your generosity coupled with your creativeness or even re-gifting made the raffle table once again a big hit at our Christmas party. The gifts ranged from a set of collectable coins, Marine collectables to gifts from the Ellen Degeneras Show. The Young Marines helped with the drawing by drawing the winning ticket, verifying the number and presenting the gift. The winner of the Grand prize, A two night stay and a $50.00 gift certificate to the Marines’ Memorial Club in San Francisco, CA went to Rose Cesaroni. Congratulations Rose I’m sure you and Dick will have a great time. This prize is donated annually to the Chapter by Major General Mike Myatt. The prize is valued at $500.00. If you have never been to the Marines’ Memorial Club you are really missing out on a memorable experience. When in San Francisco you must visit the MMC. Pictured left is Maury “Recon” Starr with Peggy Leiphardt and her son Derek. Derek along with his father Rick ( Pictured Right) are new members to the Chapter. Derek is a LAPD Officer finishing up his probationary period in West Valley Division. Rick is a retired LAPD Motor Sergeant. Rick was the winner of a canteen cup with a beautiful pewter Eagle Globe and Anchor affixed to it . The Chapter is fortunate to have members with connections. One member surprises' us each year from some great gifts for the Movie Studios. This year was no exception. Max Felser brought some great gifts from the Ellen Show. Who would of guessed there would be a Ellen fan base in attendance. The Ellen prizes stirred up much excitement around the raffle table. The big Ellen Prize winner was Sharon Mann who snagged at least two or perhaps three of the Ellen gifts. You can see by the smile on her face she was very pleased. Her husband and Chapter Director, Jim Mann was seen looking at his check book to see just how many tickets she bought to win those prizes. Emily Turner was also smiling having not only having won an Ellen gift but also the 50/50 prize of $163, which she used part of to get more raffle tickets. The big surprise was Bill Turner who turned out to be the biggest Ellen fan of all. We all thought he would be giving his wife the Ellen shirt but instead he was overheard saying he was going to wear it to next years Chapter Christmas Party. Special thanks to Max Felser for providing the photos and the Ellen Gifts. Job Well Done Max!
