Admiral
Vernon Clark
Former Chief of Naval Operations
and PC Resident
Friday, January
22, 2010
7PM—Renaissance Theater
Admiral Vernon Clark
will speak at the Tuscany Renaissance Theater on Friday, January
22nd at 7 PM, as a part of the PebbleCreek Education Club’s
Premier Lecture Series. He will be discussing the current United
States Navy, where it's at, where it's going, and challenges it
faces in the fight on terrorism.
Admiral Clark completed
a distinguished 37-year Navy career in 2005. His Navy experience
is most unusual, having served over half his career in command starting
with a Patrol Gunboat as a Lieutenant and concluding in the halls
of the Pentagon as the Chief of Naval Operations and a member of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In between he commanded ships, two destroyer
squadrons, the Atlantic Fleet’s Anti-Submarine Warfare Training
Center, a carrier battle group, the Second Fleet, NATO’s Striking
Fleet, and the Atlantic Fleet.
Admiral Clark’s
tenure as CNO was a period of significant change and renewed vision.
He was the first CNO to be extended in office in nearly half a century
and became the second longest serving CNO in his-tory. In 2002 he
charted a course for the future by publishing Sea Power 21, a vision
for the first half of the 21st century to exploit the advantages
of operating from the world’s oceans.
Admiral Clark has
received numerous military decorations for his service including
four awards of the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, three Navy
Distinguished Medals, and three awards of the Legion of Merit. Along
with his Navy and Joint awards, he is most honored by two Distinguished
Service Medals re-ceived from the Army and Air Force and the international
awards received from Germany, Italy, France, South Korea, Japan,
Portugal, Singapore, and the Netherlands.
Please join us for
an informative talk by our friend and neighbor, who now lives in
PebbleCreek with his wife Connie.

White(left) and Sol Berger (right).
From the Los Angeles
Times: “He started life in Poland as Salomon Berger, then became
Jan Jer-zowski. Then he was Ivan Marianowicz Jerzowski, then Shlomo
Harar, then Sol. During World War II and its aftermath, the names
kept him safe and protected him from the concentration camps. But
the names also forced Berger, a young Jew, to live in constant fear
as he assumed identities that in-cluded a Polish partisan fighter
and a Russian lieutenant. With each name, and each life story he
had to remember, a little more of the real man was kept hidden.
After the war he settled in Los Angeles and began to build a new
life, this time as Sol Berger.”
His presentation will describe his remarkable story which starts
after a Nazi beating and hours of questioning. Because of his small
stature he was able to escape from a second floor window and be-gin
his amazing journey. Sol will describe each step of his transformation
from one name and per-sonality to the next. He is now a 90 year
old very energetic volunteer at the Simon Wiesenthal Holo-caust
Museum in Los Angeles where he speaks at least three times each
week.
Sol will be introduced by Dr. Alex White (No. 270 on Schindler’s
List) and a neighbor and friend from his home town of Krosno, Poland.
