Vol. 2, No. 12, December 20, 1999 Happy Holidays! 


Track Santa Online
Once upon a time, a retail store in Colorado Springs, CO, advertised a Santa hotline. The printer got the phone number wrong and the calls went to Colonel Harry Shoup, Director of Operations for what was then the Continental Air Defense Command. When the Colonel got the first call, he didn't miss a beat. He had his staff check radar to see where Santa was as he made his way south from the North Pole. His staff gave updates on Santa's whereabouts to the children who called. When the United States and Canada formed the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) in 1957, they decided to continue tracking this important annual airborne mission. A few years ago, NORAD put the tracking system online. Fire up the computer this Christmas Eve and let the children follow Santa's trip around the globe.
