The distribution of food was very simple and gave rise to no criticism, no hard feelings, and no complaints. The people simply made a line at the police station where the food was distributed. If the dad or mom could not go, they sent their children and they got their rations for three or five days. Mr. Fido Nunez, chairman, the police officer, the primary school principal and Mr. Dimas Guerrero, volunteer, disbursed the supplies in one afternoon, after all the population was of about 500. They knew every family in San Pedro, and once you got your share, you could not get a second ration of goods.
Today there are many unemployed waiting to return to their jobs at hotels, restaurants, etc.
After Hurricane Hattie in 1961, there was no unemployment. Fishermen could go scuba diving for lobsters one week later. Others patched up a wire fishing trap and fabricated the crawfish traps and were soon back in action in the fishing industry. Today the town's people are anxiously waiting for electricity to reach their homes. Not so twenty five years ago.
