Memories of Tommy Lasorda
By Mike Barhorst - Contributing columnist
Each year, the Lehman High School Foundation hosts a fundraising banquet. Typically there is a featured speaker who would not normally pass through the area, the presence of whom helps enable the sale of tickets for the evening’s affair.
Over the years there have been speakers representing various fields. Treasurer of the United States Katherine Ortega, football coaching legends W.W. “Woody” Hayes and G.E. “Bo” Schembechler, Army General Barry McCaffrey, Navy Admiral Thomas Lynch, White House Correspondent Helen Thomas and a host of others all spoke at the event during my tenure at the school.

Four star Army General Barry McCaffrey (Ret.) is sounding the alarm on reports acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller has banned Pentagon brass from holding meetingswith Biden transition team officials, leaving career military staff stunned. Pentagon abruptly halts Biden transitionâ- MAKES NO SENSE. CLAIM THEY ARE OVERWHELMED. DOD GOES OPAQUE. TRUMP-MILLER UP TO NO GOOD. DANGER. â- tweeted McCaffrey, who is a well-known and highly-respected NBC News and MSNBC military analyst.
Reports from Axios and Business Insider both say Pentagon officials are feeling overwhelmed by the number of meetings they ve attended with Biden staff, and Miller has decided to order a two-week break for the holidays.
