The Sandpiper Ornament on our Christmas Tree

I was asked about the Sandpiper ornament on our Christmas tree. Long ago, Chef Dolores attended Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia to complete her art history degree. In those days, we had CB (Citizens Band) radios in our vehicles. It was before the times of cell phones.

Dolores belonged to a CB club and attended monthly meetings with fellow commuters. Her CB handle was Sandpiper and one of her friends in the CB club made this ornament for her as a Christmas gift. Every ornament has a story.

Nicknames given or adopted by CB radio users are known as "handles".
