DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. --  Members of the Youth Center participated in a basketball clinic April 11 here, which featured A.J. English, a Delaware native and former National Basketball Association player for the Washington Bullets.

Master Sgt. Alvin Jackson, a 712th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron member, coordinated the clinic.
