Los Al TV producer John Underwood interviews retired Orange County Superior Court Judge Francisco Firmat, one of three presenters at a recent St Isidore Historical Plaza Second Sunday program titled Operation Pedro Pan. This is a little known historical exodus of young Cuban children to the United States that took place in the early 1960’s as Castro’s revolution transitioned Cuba to a communist regime. Many parents on the island made the anxious decision to send their young children to the United States from 1960-62. Over 14,000 such young and unaccompanied children, initially flown to Florida and then dispersed throughout the U.S., became known as the Pedro Pans and their stories are remembered by Firmat and two other Pans in an hour long plus talk to a full house inside the plaza’s historical chapel.
