"Que Santo es hoy?" That's what the muchachas who performed the maid duties in the Airmen's dormitories asked concerning the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. It was 47 years ago.

Harry Kidder, a two-striper at the time replied: "It's San Pavo," pavo being the word for Turkey in Castellano. Mercedes, the boss of the crew told the other girls it was San Pavo; and to this day, it's still known as San Pavo.
