History The local ASNE section was issued a charter on May 5, 1988. This charter brought in to being the “Midwest Section”, consisting of two chapters: The Indianapolis Chapter centered at Naval Avionics Center - Indianapolis, and the Southern Indiana Chapter centered at NSWC Crane. The push to form a section at NSWC Crane came from CAPT William Nelson. CAPT Nelson was an associate of Al Skolnick, then the president of ASNE. The Captain invited President Skolnick out, and after hearing his talk formed a committee, headed by LCDR James Schonberger and Dave Reece, to establish a section. Nyle Riegle, John Kennedy, and LCDR James Schonberger went to ASNE Day ’86 to present their plan, which would create the two-chapter Midwest Section. ASNE National originally balked at this concept, but during the National Council meeting, the NSWC Crane committee made their case and the Midwest Section of ASNE was formed. Then in 1989, the Kentuckiana section, located at Naval Ordnance Station - Louisville, was added to the Midwest Section. One of the goals of the Midwest Section was to foster cooperation between NSWC Crane, Naval Avionics - Indianapolis, and Naval Ordnance Station - Louisville, and to help steer the organizations through the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process. But this effort was ultimately unsuccessful, with the end result being the privatization of both Naval Ordnance Station - Louisville and Naval Avionics Center - Indianapolis. Following the formation of the Midwest Section, the local ASNE symposia were rotated among the three chapters: In the end, the Midwest Section did not work as intended. For the most part, the three chapters operated independently, and only really cooperated during symposiums. The Midwest Section was also intended as a vehicle to protect against BRAC, but as stated earlier, this strategy was unsuccessful. After 1995, the Southern Indiana Chapter was revived, and both the Indianapolis and Kentuckiana chapters where inactive as a result of the BRAC decisions. In 1999 the Southern Indiana Chapter officially separated from the others, despite ASNE National’s concern about competing symposia.
