Call for Support for Admiral Thomas Hayward's Oral History
Over the course of 13 years, former Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Thomas B. Hayward discussed his life and career during a series of interviews recorded for the Naval Institute's oral history program. Through nine sessions, he covered the events and personalities that shaped his life. Now, the Institute is seeking tax-deducible gifts that will enable completion of this worthy educational project.
Tom Hayward was born in Southern California, graduating from high school a month before the attack on Pearl Harbor. He enrolled in two local colleges and was appointed an aviation cadet in the V-5 Program prior to entering the Naval Academy in 1944.
Following accelerated graduation in 1947, Ensign Hayward entered flight training. He later flew combat missions in Korea and Vietnam, and served as a test pilot. He commanded the attack carrier USS America (CVA-66) in the early 1970s.
In the mid-1970s, his major commands included the U.S. Seventh and Pacific Fleets. Admiral Hayward served as Chief of Naval Operations from 1978 until 1982. Since retiring from the Navy he has been a member of several corporate and nonprofit boards and is co-founder and vice chairman of Voyager Expanded Learning, an educational services company.
Donations are needed to underwrite the costs of footnoting, indexing, and binding Admiral Hayward's oral history. Tax-deductible contributions of all sizes are appreciated. Those who donate $1,000 or more to the Hayward history will be acknowledged in the bound volume, in Proceedings, and at the Institute's Web site. If you can help, please contact Sue Sweeney at (410) 295-1054 or at [email protected]. Gifts by check or credit card should be sent to the Naval Institute Foundation at 291 Wood Road, Annapolis, Maryland 21402.
