San Leandro trustees nix April tax vote
San Leandro trustees informally rejected a April tax election while keeping June as a possibility if a decision is made by February 3. Superintendent Holden recommended against April due to timing and district cuts, while supporters urged a tax vote to fund necessary programs. The board may still hold a June primary election after evaluating community input and alternative funding.

Vietnam’s Fall Cost Them Their Fortune and Freedom
The Vietnam era wrecked the fortunes of three men, Clyde Bauer, Robert Burns, and Steve Konevitch. Bauer built a $3 million Indochina business empire, Burns saved $150,000, and Konevitch ran a contracting firm with air conditioned offices. After the fall, Bauer and Burns faced losses, while Konevitch, now in Hayward with a Vietnamese wife and three children, volunteers for refugee aid and reflects on the life he lost, from villa and boat to a modest apartment. He recalls witnessing Vietnam’s collapse in 1973 and the helicopter evacuations at Tan Son Nhut.
