In Au- gust 1940, he settled in Plainfield, New Jersey, his adopted home town, and continued flying lessons at West- field Airport. He earned a private pilot’s license and, although still a Greek national, in October 1941 he joined the British Royal Air Force sponsored by the Clayton Knight Committee in New York City. Steve began his military flight training at Polaris Flight Academy in Glendale, California. Upon graduation, Pilot Officer Pisanos was transferred to England where he completed RAF Officers Training School at Cosford, England and OTU (Operational Training Unit) at Old Sarum Aerodrome in Salisbury. Pilot Officer Pisanos was posted to the 268 Fighter Squadron at Snailwell Aerodrome in Newmarket flying P-51A’s. He later transferred to the 71 Eagle Squadron, one of three Eagle squadrons in the RAF, comprised of American volunteers flying Spitfires at Debden RAF Aerodrome. When the USAAF 4 Fighter Group absorbed the American members (Pisanos ~ continued on page 2 ) Palm Desert Greek Fest 2011 Page 2 of 16 “Ka-LOS EI-ltha-teh”! It’s a Greek word, which means: “It’s great to see you!” With this word comes the atmosphere of “philo-xeh-NI-a” - another Greek word, which means “treating a visitor as a friend” (“philos” = friend / “xeh-nos” = stranger). These are words that tie people together with a sense of community. In truth, we do need each other. We at St. George Greek Orthodox Church are proud to offer to our Palm Desert neighbors, as well as to the citizens of the greater Coachella Valley, the opportunity to enjoy a taste of Greece. A “taste” of Greece not only includes the delicious Greek cuisine, but also the music and life-style of the Greek people, whose Orthodox Christian Faith; ancient philosophy and rich tradi- tions all add up to a sincere appreciation of other people and of life itself. You can see, then, that the greeting, “Ka-LOS EI-ltha-teh” is much more than a simple “welcome”. It is an overwhelmingly glad welcome and an expression of appreciation for individuals and for all people from everywhere throughout the world, knowing that everyone has much to give to others, which makes us all mem- bers of a community. As such, it is an honor for all of us today to enjoy life together. Wishing you all the blessings of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ, I remain, Yours in His Service. Fr.

On 3 May 1943, Lt. Pisanos was naturalized as an American citizen in London, England, becoming the first individual in American history to be naturalized outside the Continental United States. Flying his first mission in his P-47 “Miss Plainfield” out of Debden Aerodrome with the 334 Fighter Squadron, 4 Fighter Group, Lt. Pisanos, “The Flying Greek,” scored his first victory on 21 May 1943, when he downed a German FW-190 over Ghent, Belgium. By 1 January 1944 he had become an ace with five confirmed victories. On 5 March 1944, he obtained his 10 victory and while returning from that B-17 escort the mis- sion to Limoges and Bordeaux, France , Steve experienced engine failure in his P-51B and crash-landed south of Le Havre. For six months he evaded the Germans and worked with the French Resistance and the American OSS sabotaging the German war machine in occupied France. Lt. Pisanos returned to England on 2 September 1944, following the liberation of Paris. Upon returning to the United States, Captain Pisanos was assigned to the Flight Test Division at Wright Field, Ohio. He attended the USAF Test Pilot School and subsequently served as a test pilot at Wright Field and Muroc Lake, California, testing the YP-80 jet air- craft. During his career in the USAF, Steve graduated from the University of Maryland, attended the Air Command and Staff College and the Air War College. In December 1973, after a distinguished thirty years of service in the United States Air Force, he retired with the rank of Colonel. Col.

  • Herald for Sept. Alan 2008 Copy.Indd
    Saint Sophia HERALD Volume 13 Number 9 Many Lives...One Heart September, 2008 “What’s That Around Your Neck?” I was privileged to have spent almost two weeks in Greece this summer where I had the pleasant task of baptizing the granddaughter of a very dear friend. Greece is the premier laboratory of western history and civilization. Whatever period of time or era one wishes to examine, it is all there. For Christians who study the New Testament scriptures, there is no better place to walk in the footsteps of St. Paul than Greece. On Sunday, August 3rd, I took the commuter train from Kifissia, a northern suburb of Athens, to go to Monastiraki, the closest station to the ancient Athenian agora or market place just under the shadow of the Acropolis. I wanted to walk through the ancient city ruins and end up on Mars Hill, known in the book of Acts, Chapter 17 as the Areopagus. It is a small rocky hill where St. Paul stood and addressed the Athenian philosophers and skeptics, preaching to them the gospel message of Jesus Christ. I wanted to stand where Paul stood nearly 2000 years before and to vicariously sense through my spiritual imagination, a little of what he saw and experienced. The train was packed…standing room only. A few feet away from me stood a young man who was intently looking at me. At ev- ery station stop he inched his way closer to me. Half way into the 30 minute ride to downtown Athens, we were almost face to face.

To date, research has focussed on perceptions of authenticity in consumers’ patronage of businesses, brands, places and experiences. However, this research takes a “producer” perspective by examining the meaning and construction of authenticity by commercial enterprises, through a qualitative, interpretive examination of restaurants serving mainly Greek food in both the UK and Greece. Restaurateurs (n=11 in the UK and 8 in Greece) were theoretically sampled. Data from in- depth interviews was analysed according to constructivist grounded theory conventions. The results indicated that the core concept linking the restaurateurs was “hospitality”. This was variously achieved by hiring staff of the same ethnicity with the restaurant’s theme, developing a menu, sourcing ingredients and creating an ambiance that reflected the authenticity bias of the restaurateur, which was either indexically or existentially oriented. The strategic implications are discussed. Keywords Authenticity, identity, food, ethnic, restaurants, promotion. 1 Introduction The term authenticity derives from the ancient Greek word “αυθεντικός” meaning something trustworthy and original, not an imitation or imaginary (Cappannelli, 2004).
