Other Comments:
After I retired in 1990 I returned to Tallahassee, Florida and helped my father take care of my ill mother until she passed. I opened Photography by Karl photographic studio and I did well for 10 years. Due to circumstance beyond my control I was forced to close and less than six months later I was diagnosed with colon cancer and spent a year taking care of that! I spent 1.5 years driving 18 wheelers and 1.5 years driving charter buses (45 foot / 57 passengers). I then went to work as the Internet Coordinator for a Saturn Dealership selling cars over the Internet and did that for about three years. For a while I was the Facility Manager for a private High School; organizing their move from the 50 Year Old 60,000 Sq Ft campus to a brand new 95,000 Sq Ft, seven building, facility! What a job that was. I then went back to driving charter buses; until I was diagnosed, again (after 10 years), with colon cancer. I am now going through chemo at this time while taking each day as it comes.

Description The 1986 United States bombing of Libya, code-named Operation El Dorado Canyon, comprised air strikes by the United States against Libya on Tuesday, 15 April 1986. The attack was carried out by the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps via air strikes, in retaliation for the 1986 Berlin discotheque bombing. There were 40 reported Libyan casualties, and one U.S. plane was shot down. One of the Libyan dead was a baby girl, who was reported to be Gaddafi's daughter, Hanna Gaddafi. However, there were doubts as to whether she was really killed, or whether she really even existed.
