Lt Col Harold T. (“Slim”) Mattos donned a Santa Claus suit December 29, 1969 when he presented 202 steel drums, painted for trash cans, to the Honolulu City & County Department of Parks and Recreation. These steel drums had been cleaned and painted by the CAMRON NCOs for their community’s use. Have fun! Keep it clean!

Harold Mattos served as the commander of the 154th Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance Squadron from the mid-1960s into the early 1970s.
