Link Magazine Gets a Face-lift
We hope you enjoy this month’s issue of the Link that features the board members of Security Patrol on the cover. Inside you’ll notice that the magazine has received a bit of a makeover. We have boosted the size of the type to make it easier to read, and we’ve simplified the design for a fresh, clean look. In addition to learning a bit more about the responsibilities of Security Patrol volunteers, inside stories reap the high points from the Republic Services Town Hall that detailed the new trash/pickup service coming to Sun City in September. Club officers and members will find a chart detailing upcoming elections, and we catch up with Sun City resident and a master in stained glass, Roger Hall. As always, we welcome your feedback on the changes.
Music at Mountain Shadows
If you’ve been to the Mountain Shadows Community Center within the past week you’ve probably noticed the upbeat tunes filling the hallways and restrooms. In response to residents’ requests, Sun City has added music to the public areas. The station currently set at the center is the Fabulous Fifties. Please be sure to let the social monitor or the Link ([email protected]) know what you think, and if you’d like to hear music at the other social and fitness centers. You can even list your musical preference in your email and the Link will be sure to pass your requests along.

Thank You for Your Service: Harry (Mac) Hinman
(The following is a continuation of the Thank You for Your Service feature written by Bob Cohen in the August 2018 Link.)
Another series of schools followed before Mac was assigned to the USS Guadalcanal in Norfolk Va. as operations officer from January 1988 to January 1990. During this time period, the Guadalcanal cruised the Mediterranean for seven months. The next 15 months were spent as a student at the Naval War College in Newport, R.I.
Mac went from student to academic staff in 1991 as the director of the Naval Staff College, an assignment that lasted 42 months. His next assignment was to be at the Pentagon.
“At that point I had 26 years of service,” Mac said. “I had achieved the rank of captain and was pretty much maxed out on pay. Retirement looked good. I pulled the plug. But shortly after that, I had the opportunity to start an NJROTC (Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps) unit at a high school in Bristol, R.I. Even though I was a civilian I was paid at my Navy grade and was required to wear the uniform. But two years of working with high school kids was all I could take. Real retirement was beckoning. We moved to Lake Almanor in northern California, where I became active in HOA, served on the Board and worked with our fishing association to raise some 30,000 to 40,000 fish each year. In addition, I am an avid runner and skier. In short, I’ve been pretty active in retirement.”
As you can imagine, after 26 years of service, including a tour in Vietnam along with other assignments that are too classified to divulge, Mac accumulated a number of awards such as the Legion of Merit, the Meritorious Service Medal with Gold Star, the Air Medal with 18 strike flights, the Navy Commendation Medal, the Navy Expeditionary Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Humanitarian Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal, and the Vietnam Campaign Medal. In addition, he earned the Combat Action ribbon, the Presidential Unit Citation, the Meritorious Unit Commendation with Star and the Command at Sea pin, as well as an expert rating with a pistol and marksman with a rifle.
“While we still have the house in Lake Almanor, we were living in Virginia Beach, Va. We started scoping out other retirement areas and settled on Sun City in 2003,” Mac said.
