MIAMI HERALD PEDRO PAN DATABASE
The information your Editor/Publisher had offered to catalog 10 years ago gratis has finally been organized by the Miami Herald and published on Sunday May 17th, 2009. This was done jointly with the Cuba Nostalgia celebration and it was certainly well-received, the folks at the paper having gotten close to 120,000 hits in the first 4 days! [Only YouTube can compete with that!] The one million-hit mark was reached on Thanksgiving Day 2009!
The database has approximately 13,500 full names (although it claims many more as almost 600 names are repeated and are being s-l-o-w-l-y corrected) culled from the George Guarch Airport Log, and it also has the date of arrival and the destination at the time of arrival, whether to a Miami-Dade temporary site such as Camp Matecumbe, Kendall or Florida City; or whether the arrival went with family or a friend.
The Guarch Log is possibly the most important document of our exodus as it catalogs our first moment of freedom in this great new country. James Baker and Father Walsh may have been our saviors but the welcome committee of one, George Guarch, is the first smiling face we saw in the US and the first hug some of the little children received. His dedication and care were unique! To get to this long-awaited information website go to http://www.miamiherald.com/pedropan
The Herald has been publishing hundreds of letters sent in since that day and the Pedro Pan Administrator is doing a good job of helping those people who write in with queries.
