Some of these might be DeCuir Jr. Also, I misspelled Kaminski, according to my “seance” with WB.

So I’m zeroing in on the artist for that one, looking more and more like Robert Kaminsky, one of Becket’s go-to illustrators.

He wants the redhead, but maybe not the one you’re thinking of.

In this case it WAS freshly paved, but not that hot. You can see where I tried to press my tennies into it.

And then I watched horror as the Rivers of America drained into the gooey Florida muck.

October 1, 1971. It was so hot that day that my Red Ball Jets sunk into the freshly poured pavement.

So this was unexpected: I shared the link of Joe's 1980s Disneyland photos with Tim O'Day and...THIS IS TIM O'DAY AS MERLIN! He said he doesn't have a lot of photos of him from this time and it's priceless. 🤗

Disney history is still being uncovered before our eyes!

Photos never did this scene justice! The music and animation made this scene a delight! I think this might have been the first time that the 1950s and 60s had ever been represented in a park attraction.
