Established in 1989 by Patricia Corradi Condron and Carol Bevins, in memory of their father, Rear Admiral Peter Corradi, who died in December 1988 at the age of 78. Admiral Corradi was born in Brooklyn, NY, and attended New York University where he received a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering. While working as an engineer with the New York Board of Water Supply, he was commissioned a lieutenant (j.g.) in the Civil Engineer Corps Reserve and called to active duty as a Resident Officer in charge of construction of shipbuilding facilities at Portsmouth, N.H. During World War II, he was assigned to the Seabees and served as Commanding Officer of a construction battalion on several Pacific islands. His wartime decorations include the Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V”. In 1965, in recognition of his leadership in the CEC and the Bureau of Yards and Docks, of which he was named Chief in 1962, Rear Admiral Corradi was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal by the President of the United States.
