Man behind Christmas party brings joy to youths in Hayward
Earl Tucker, an aircraft maintenance technician with the California Air National Guard in Hayward, started a Christmas program in 1969 for disadvantaged children. The event, run with local schools and community partners, features gifts, a Disney film, a helicopter visit from Tucker as Santa, and tours of the base. The program earned the DoD Domestic Affairs Award in 1972 and continues to rely on volunteers, donations, and careful gift matching to avoid duplicates.
