Additional Information
Last Known Activity:
I retired from the California Department of Education after 32+ years in 2008. My wife and I spend much time updating our landscaping, and completing all the "to do list" items that accumulated over the 14 years we worked while in our current home.
My fun is playing senior baseball and participating in regional and national baseball tournaments, most recently in the 55+ division and now in the 60+ division. I get to face ex-major leaguers, like Bill Lee and Juan Eichelberger, as well as many everyday baseball enthusiasts who still are healthy enough to play 9 innings.

Description Operation Linebacker was the title of a U.S. Seventh Air Force and U.S. Navy Task Force 77 air interdiction campaign conducted against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) from 9 May to 23 October 1972, during the Vietnam War.
Its purpose was to halt or slow the transportation of supplies and materials for the Nguyen Hue Offensive (known in the West as the Easter Offensive), an invasion of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), by forces of the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN), that had been launched on 30 March. Linebacker was the first continuous bombing effort conducted against North Vietnam since the bombing halt instituted by President Lyndon B. Johnson in November 1968.
