Nostalgia & History > An SP Thanksgiving from 1951

On the cover of the November 1951 SP Bulletin is chef David Lowe, taken at west Oakland commissary. This is the second time Dave made the cover of the Bulletin. Last time was in 1945.
Bet the SP Turkey tasted much better than the one Mom used to Make...

Happy Thanksgiving all.
(Even You Bob)

Only at Thanksgiving can you make the statement "I like big breasts!" without getting that look from your wife.

I think this is a great photo- chef with a winning smile ( he looks like one of those folks who really likes his vocation ) , and a BIG turkey- or is it? I kept looking at that turkey and thinking " Dang, Andre the Giant-style turkey!" I think we have some forced perspective being used here. The turkey is really in the foreground and Chef Dave is standing well back from the bird. RR modelers who like to photograph outdoor scenes as backgrounds to modules that they have built will use forced perspective. My vote for best Thanksgiving photo!
