This week's RF Cafe crossword puzzle contains the usual assortment of engineering and science related
words and clues, but there are also a few specific words commemorating our
Thanksgiving
Day holiday (indicated by a asterisk
*) that is celebrated each year
on the fourth Thursday of November. Macy's
90th Thanksgiving Day Parade occurs on the morning of November 24th and follows a route along Central
Park West and 6th Avenue. Interestingly, the parade was
cancelled during the World
War II years of 1942, 1943, and 1944 in order to conserve much needed raw materials.
