STAN FREBERG "Thanksgiving Story"
from www.RADIOthen.network · host RAlan Campbell
Yes! At last we learn that the turkey was intended to be the national bird, but due to a mix--up, it was the turkey rather than the eagle to be cooked for the original Thanksgiving dinner. We since have learned that there was a movement at one time, counting among it's supporters Benjamin Franklin, to indeed bestow this exalted position upon the turkey. Today one wonders if Freberg happened to stumble upon this story in research.
