Lucky Bag
From the 1966 Lucky Bag:
GEORGE WILLIAM LINEBURG
Hoopeston, Illinois
A product of the Midwest, Skip came to the Academy just after graduation from high school. Company soccer and lightweight football kept Skip busy during the fall and winter, while the Public Relations committee and the Spanish Club were other important interests. A conscientious worker, Skip devoted himself to his studies where he pursued a major in Naval Management. He will always be remembered by the class of '68 for his active part in their plebe summer. Always a competitor, Skip is sure to do well in the Supply Corps where he hopes to obtain further graduate study.
