Dewayne Dinger

The way I remember it I reported onboard the United States Navy guided-missile cruiser USS Wainwright CG 28 during July 1987.

I don't recall the month I was given orders to the Wainwright but that would have been maybe two months before I reported onboard. I remember vaguely that I was home on leave in Ashdown Arkansas for 30 days leave before I left for Charleston South Carolina. That was the time my girlfriend Diane flew down from Chicago and stayed there for a while at my parents house on Hicks Road north of Ashdown.

I know that I was home on leave on 25 November 1986 and that was the day they told me my step-brother Micheal was killed in an automobile accident.

From the US military DD-214 form I got a few years ago I wrote about how I attended the MK152 Guided Missile Fire Control Complex school in Dam Neck Virginia for 19 weeks. That was the course duration. I was there at that command for a time greater than 19 weeks.

I don't recall when I reported to that training command in Virginia. I don't recall how long I was still in Ashdown after 11/25/1986. So that means the following calculation represents probably a day three weeks prior to the possible day I could have been assigned orders to the Wainwright:

From 11/25/1986 going forward 19 weeks is 4/7/1987.

So I was possibly assigned to the Wainwright sometime in May 1987. I can still visualize sitting there in the classroom in Virginia when I was offered that duty assignment.

From my class I graduated with the second highest score from that course in Virginia but I was given first choice of duty assignment from the list of duty assignments offered to my class. The guy with the highest score in the class was married and the way I understood it the married sailors didn't have a choice about their assignments.

I remember all that because I had told the petty officer in charge of our class that I wanted a ship back in Charleston South Carolina which was where I had been assigned to the USS Taylor FFG 50. I remember all that because another sailor was offered an assignment in Hawaii as he had requested. I had first selection of the choices offered to us and I remember how I could have taken that ship in Hawaii but I said I wanted Charleston and the USS Wainwright CG 28 was the only ship in Charleston and that was the choice I made.

So I guess that happened in May 1987.

I had requested Charleston South Carolina but I had made no request about a specific ship. There was only certain guided-missile ships in the US Navy I could have been assigned to and Wainwright was one of them. One of the sailors in my class who had a family was assigned to a guided-missile destroyer in Charleston as I recall. The Mahan I think that was. I think he and I were the only ones to go to Charleston but I don't really recall.

Possibly that selection happened in June 1987. May or June 1987. I don't think it could have been much later than the middle of June 1987.

I didn't make a request for the Wainwright. All I requested was a ship in Charleston South Carolina.

I was surprised to learn today that Dinger incident occurred in 1987. I think I wrote the other day I wasn't certain about the year but I guessed it was in 1985.

I would have been back in Ashdown on leave sometime around June and July 1987. I wrote to Chad recently about how Ronnie Alexander and his wife met my girlfriend Diane that time. I was talking to them at Millwood Lake one day.

Ross Alexander

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ross Alexander (July 27, 1907 – January 2, 1937) was an American stage and film actor.


Death

With his professional and personal lives in disarray and deeply in debt, Alexander shot himself in the head in the barn behind his home. It has been reported that Alexander used the same gun his wife Aleta Freel shot herself with 13 months earlier. Other sources, however, claim that, while both used .22 caliber bullets, Ross used a pistol, while Aleta used a rifle. His final film, Ready, Willing and Able, was released posthumously.

Lou Cannon wrote in his book Governor Reagan: His Rise to Power that a young Ronald Reagan, then working as a radio broadcaster in Iowa, was hired in part by Warner Brothers to replace the recently deceased Alexander.

Search for 2 Missing Boys Continues; Officials Baffled

October 29, 1994|From Associated Press

UNION, S.C. — About 80 law officers and volunteers probed with sticks and trudged through woods dense with kudzu Friday, searching for any trace of two little boys said by their mother to have been snatched by a carjacker.

As that fruitless search was ending, another began: Tracking dogs, helicopters and deputies in bulletproof vests swarmed over another wooded area after a child reported seeing a man matching the suspect's description.

Once again, in a case that has baffled authorities and residents of this rural town, nothing came of it.

"The breaks have not been coming like we thought they would. It's unbelievable," Sheriff Howard Wells said of the investigation into the disappearance of 3-year-old Michael Smith and 14-month-old Alex Smith.

On Tuesday, their mother, Susan Smith, 23, said a man with a gun forced his way into her car at a traffic light

Preceded by Dick Cheney

United States Senator

from Delaware

In office

January 3, 1973 – January 15, 2009


Joseph Robinette "Joe" Biden, Jr. (born November 20, 1942) is the 47th and current Vice President of the United States, jointly elected with President Barack Obama. He is a member of the Democratic Party and was a United States Senator from Delaware from January 3, 1973, until his resignation on January 15, 2009, following his election to the Vice Presidency. In 2012, Biden was elected to a second term alongside Obama.


1988 presidential campaign

Main article: Joe Biden presidential campaign, 1988

Biden ran for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination, formally declaring his candidacy at the Wilmington train station on June 9, 1987. He was attempting to become the youngest president since John F. Kennedy. When the campaign began, Biden was considered a potentially strong candidate because of his moderate image, his speaking ability on the stump, his appeal to Baby Boomers, his high profile position as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee at the upcoming Robert Bork Supreme Court nomination hearings, and his fundraising appeal. He raised $1.7 million in the first quarter of 1987, more than any other candidate.

By August 1987, Biden's campaign, whose messaging was confused due to staff rivalries, had begun to lag behind those of Michael Dukakis and Dick Gephardt, although he had still raised more funds than all candidates but Dukakis, and was seeing an upturn in Iowa polls. In September 1987, the campaign ran into trouble when he was accused of plagiarizing a speech that had been made earlier that year by Neil Kinnock, leader of the British Labour Party. Kinnock's speech included the lines:

"Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? [Then pointing to his wife in the audience] Why is Glenys the first woman in her family in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Was it because all our predecessors were thick?"

While Biden's speech included the lines:

"I started thinking as I was coming over here, why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go to a university? [Then pointing to his wife in the audience] Why is it that my wife who is sitting out there in the audience is the first in her family to ever go to college? Is it because our fathers and mothers were not bright? Is it because I'm the first Biden in a thousand generations to get a college and a graduate degree that I was smarter than the rest?"

Though Biden had cited Kinnock as the source for the formulation many times before, he made no reference to the original source at the August 23 Democratic debate at the Iowa State Fair being reported on or in an August 26 interview for the National Education Association. While political speeches often appropriated ideas and language from each other, Biden's use came under more scrutiny because he somewhat distorted his own family's background in order to match Kinnock's. Biden was soon found to have earlier that year lifted passages from a 1967 speech by Robert F. Kennedy (for which Biden aides took the blame) and a short phrase from the 1961 inaugural address of John F. Kennedy, and in two prior years to have done the same with a 1976 passage from Hubert H. Humphrey.

A few days later, Biden's plagiarism incident in law school came to public light. Video was also released showing that when earlier questioned by a New Hampshire resident about his grades in law school, Biden had stated that he had graduated in the "top half" of his class, that he had attended law school on a full scholarship, and that he had received three degrees in college, each of which were untrue or exaggerations of his actual record.

AWOL MARINE CHARGED IN DEATHS OF PARENTS, BROTHER

AP , Associated Press

AP NEWS ARCHIVE Apr. 15, 1987 11:46 AM ET

ASHDOWN, ARK. ASHDOWN, Ark. (AP) _ A 21-year-old man who was absent without leave from the Marine Corps has been charged with capital murder in the shooting deaths of his parents and younger brother, whose bodies were found in their fire-gutted home, authorities say.

Marine Cpl. Thomas Dewayne Dinger was arrested about 1:20 a.m. today when he showed up at the house on foot, wearing a backpack and carrying a fishing rod, said Prosecutor Jim Bob Steel.

State police and Little River County deputies were at the house three miles south of Ashdown because members of the Ashdown Volunteer Fire Department had discovered three bodies when they responded to a fire call late Tuesday, Sheriff Dallas Keller said.

The sheriff identified those killed as James Thomas Dinger, 41; his wife, Shirley Dinger, about 40; and their 14-year-old son, Brian Dinger.

According to Keller, Dinger told police his younger brother was shot first, in a bedroom, with a .22-caliber pistol, and then Mrs. Dinger was shot with the pistol. Their bodies were found inside the house.

The sheriff said the senior Dinger was wounded with a shotgun outside the house as he arrived home from work for a painting contractor, and then was shot several times with the pistol.

An empty gasoline can was found atop the 14-year-old's body in the bedroom, the sheriff said, adding the house had apparently been set afire shortly after the elder Dinger was shot.

Steel said Dinger was being held in the county jail at Ashdown, and an arraignment was scheduled today.

Neither Steel nor Keller knew where Dinger had been stationed with the Marine Corps. Officials said he had been AWOL for about 10 days.

Steel said Dinger told authorities he had been planning to leave home yesterday and turn himself in to Marine officials.

''We figure the argument was over him leaving,'' Keller said. ''His daddy said he was going back.''

Frigate Apparently Strikes Gulf Mine; 10 Sailors Hurt

April 15, 1988|JOHN M. BRODER | Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON — A U.S. warship apparently hit a mine Thursday, injuring 10 American sailors, after it had escorted a U.S.-registered Kuwaiti tanker through the Persian Gulf, Defense Department officials said.


One Pentagon source told the Associated Press that sailors aboard the Roberts had seen "mine-like" objects in the water shortly before the explosion.

U.S. officials in the past have accused the Iranians of sowing mines in the gulf to intimidate shipping headed for Iraq, with whom Iran has been at war for eight years. Last fall, U.S. warships and helicopters seized an Iranian ship in the act of planting mines.

White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said the National Security Council had "routinely informed" President Reagan of Thursday's explosion, adding that the incident "emphasizes once again our concern for stopping the Iran-Iraq War."

However, U.S. officials refused to discuss possible retaliation. "It's not a declaration of war," said one Administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity. "Besides, who are you going to retaliate against?"

The explosion took place as the frigate was sailing south on a routine patrol Thursday morning after completing a convoy that included the Kuwaiti tanker Gas King the night before, Howard said.

The frigate was heading toward Bahrain under auxiliary power Thursday night, escorted by the cruiser Wainwright, officials said.
