Duane, Thanks to you and Kay for this generous initiative. I have two possible
attendees for you to consider if we would like to move in that direction:
1. RADM Gary Bonelli - Chairman of the Board of the Navy SEAL Foundation (is
local)
2. Mr. Charles Humphrey Keating III - President of the Charles Humphrey Keating
IV Foundation (is local)
They would ideally play together.
Gary's Bio and the CHKIV Website Info Follows:
The Navy SEAL Foundation, a nonprofit organization providing immediate and
ongoing support and assistance to the Naval Special Warfare Community and its
families, recently announced Rear Admiral Garry J. Bonelli as Chairman of the
Board.
Enlisting in the U.S. Navy in 1968, Rear Adm. Garry Bonelli graduated from
Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training Class 51 in Coronado, Calif.
Bonelli made two ground combat deployments in Vietnam as a Navy “Frogman” with
Underwater Demolition Team 12.
In 1974, Bonelli became a member of the first reserve unit of Naval Special
Warfare.
In 1976, while completing his Master of Science degree in Mass Communications,
he received a direct commission in the Navy Reserve. Bonelli has served as the
commanding officer of eight Navy reserve units.
Bonelli was mobilized in 1990 in support of Operations Desert Shield and Desert
Storm, and served as the commanding officer of SEAL Team 5. He has the
distinction of being the first and only reservist to ever command an
active-duty SEAL Team.
In 2001, Bonelli was selected to serve as the deputy commander of Navy Reserve
Readiness Command Southwest. In 2005, he completed a three-year collateral
assignment as a member of the Secretary of the Navy’s National Navy Reserve
Policy Board. Recalled to active duty in 2006, Bonelli served as the chief of
staff for Naval Special Warfare Command. This echelon two headquarters command
is responsible for seven major subordinate commands comprising a total force of
9,000 SEAL, Special Boat and mission specialists personnel. The command
develops strategy, doctrine and tactics for Naval Special Warfare forces
supporting fleet and joint special operations worldwide. Bonelli served as the
Force Commander of Naval Special Warfare Command during 2008. He now serves on
extended recall as the Deputy.
In his prior civilian profession, Bonelli was a staff director with the San
Diego Association of Governments, a strategic research, planning and
transportation agency working for the 18 cities and county government in the
region. He helped manage a $14 billion public infrastructure program and
developed public policy initiatives for locally elected officials on numerous
issues encompassing population growth, transportation, governance, housing,
environmental management, economic development, public safety, bi-national
coordination and military-civilian community relationships.
Navy SEAL Foundation – Established to serve U.S. Navy SEALs, Special Warfare
Combatant-craft Crewmen, Naval Special Warfare (NSW) support personnel, and
their families, the Navy SEAL Foundation provides a comprehensive set of
programs specifically designed to reduce the stressors associated with the
tremendous amount of uncertainty and pressure that comes with life in Naval
Special Warfare (NSW). Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, there has been an
unprecedented demand for Special Operations Forces (SOF) around the globe.
SEALs spend up to 270 days away from home each year in the most unforgiving
environments and training at an unrelenting pace in order to maintain their
ability to execute our nation’s toughest military missions. Their commitment to
our country and the mission is only possible because of the significant
personal sacrifices made by their families.

Kay and I wish to sponsor up to two foursomes of VIPs for the upcoming PDG
tourney August 6. Having VIPs participate allows us to gain significant
traction when marketing the event and should create an even larger draw.
Please provide candidates you feel are approachable.
It's best not to put forth anyone who is running for an office - NDIA wishes
to remain neutral in these matters. Personnel who hold office are fine.
Active duty military and certain federal government service personnel are
not eligible due to potential OCI issues.
Please consider all elements of the community, i.e., civil sector (all
categories), sitting political members (see above), community leaders (such
as the EDC, the port, city councils, the airport, chamber of commerce,
etc.), the clergy, the head of business organizations and/or anyone else you
feel would enhance our event by their presence.
Terry: Your input valued and if you would kindly pulse the NDIA BOD, it
would be appreciated. Also, please let me know if there are any issues with
the list above.
Looking forward to each of your thoughts.
/Ace
