Ghristmas Leftoversby Jim Mohan
Chrislmas l98l is past. Slockings have been laken down from thefireplace. Ornamenls, one by one, have been removed from the treeand carefully packed away. The tree ilself has been moved from aplace of honor in lhe home lo a lonely exislence al lhe front curb. Thelasf of lhe lurkey has been ealen and the final Chrislmas slory hasbeen lold.
Well, noi quile. Jusl like lhat one Christmas ornamenl you alwaysfind alter all lhe olhers have been put up, it seems lhere are a fewChristmas slories yel lo be recounled. There are lwo stories to be exacland bolh have lhe proper elemenls lhal make up any good Chrislmaslale - generosily and goodwill. Each tells the slory of an AerospaceCenler employee, who share somelhing besides a common workplace.You see, bolh men believe in Sanla Claus.
Yes, Dale Dase, DASC, believes and had little hope of having hisin Santa Claus, not the fellow in the wish come true. But because of onewhite beard and red suit but the man's good heart, another man'srealSantaClaus--theSpiritoflove wishes come true. And you sayand giving that we feel during the there is no Santa Claus. Dale DaseChristmas season. knows there is.
EEO Award lVominees
Dale's story begins like many oldfashioned Christmas stories. Aman wanted to do a good deedduring the Christmas season tohelp someone. The man wasTimothy Wrenn, the generalmanager of C-Phone, Inc., acompany that manuf acturestelecommunication devices for thedeaf and hearing impaired. Wrennhad read in the Post-Dispatchabout the 100 neediest casesprogram, which aids those in thecommunity at Christmastime. Itwas his idea to donate atelecommunication device, knownas a Pocket Phone II, to the Post-Dispatch sponsored program.
It's probably not at all unusualthat R. F. 'Chief Lou' Lozano,LOSMSB, believes in Santa Claus.That's because 'Chief Lou'is SantaClaus. If you don't believe me, allyou have to do is ask hundreds ofchildren in South St. Louis, they'lltell you.
Each year 'Chief Lou' and acouple of his friends get togetherbefore Christmas and start inmotion a special project called'Operation St. Nick'. Through theirefforts and the generosity ofveteran, civic and military groups,'Operation St. Nick' was able toraise almost $1,300 this year. A

But operation St. Nick's goodwork did not stop there. SantaLou's locomotive had a few morestops to make. One was at theSalvation Army's Tree of Lightswhere Lou and his elves dropped$100 in the bucket to aid the Homefor Abused and NeglectedChildren. Next, was a stop at theFamily Care Center to drop off fivewalker canes for the elderly-a gift

Dispatch sponsored program.The Pocket Phone II allows
hearing-imparied individuals tocommunicate with other in-dividuals with the samb deviceover the telephone by typing theirconversations back and forth.
But when Mrs. Joan Sisco, theoffice manager of C-Phone, Inc.,called the Post-Dispatch to makethe donation, she was told none ofthe individuals in the 100 neediestcases program needed the device.
The story did not end there,however. Like all good tales it hasa plot twist-and a happy ending.
The person at the Post-Dispatchtold Mrs. Sisco that they would tryto contact the paper's ChristmasBureau to see if they could findsomeone who would need thedevice. When the Bureau contactedthe St. Louis Hearing Center, anindividual at the Center im-mediately had a person in mindwho could use the device.
One of the students at theHearing Center was really in-terested in having the device, butbecause of the expense he could notafford to own one. As you mighthave guessed the individual wasDale Dase, who is hearing-impaired.
Wrenn decided that Dale was theperson he was looking for.
So shortly af ter Christmas,Wrenn and Mr. Sisco came to theAerospace Center to present thePocket Phone II to Dale. For Daleit was a Christmas wish come true.
So there you have it. A man, fullof goodwill, wanted to do a gooddeed at Christmas time. Anotherman could only wish for something
raise almost $1,3(X) this year. Aportion of the money was used topurchase Christmas stockings andthe goodies to stuff them.
This year 'Operation St. Nick'filled over 300 stockings with toys,fruits, nuts and candy. The list oftoys included stuffed animals,dolls, wooden toys and 300 hand-made snowmen. The stockingswere given out at schools in theCarondelet area.
When the big day for thegiveaway arrived, the jolly man inthe red suit and white whiskersshowed up in his distinctive'Operation St. Nick' mode oftrarsportation. Not his usual sledbut a train. Well, not a whole train,but the locomotive from the 40/8,an American Legion honor society.
rerly-a B,lrrfrom an anonymous donor. Thefinal stop was to make a donationto the 40/B Children Welfare Fund.
Operation St. Nick started nineyears ago. Chief Lou and a few ofhis friends wanted to do somethingspecial for Christmas and theycame up with the idea to dress upas Santa Claus and give out candyto children. From there it hasblossomed to the full fledgedproject it is today.
For now Operation St. Nick is aspirit of Christmas passed. ButSanta Lou and his friends arelooking ahead to Christmas 1982. Ittakes Santa a whole year to getready for Christmas and Chief Louis Santa Claus, isn't he?
