Once upon a time I was hitching around Europe and got a job at an Air Force
{US] radar site. Came Christmas eve and I was in the tracking room and
watched them track Santa Claus from the North Pole. Listened to the
intercept orders, watch the various duty fighters take off, get vectored in
and call back "Visual ID'd 'Friend'. All is well".

One of the highlights of my life.

We [Site I, Wasserkuppe] were on high alert at the time as Kennedy had been
assassinated the month before.

Merry Christmas to All.
