I have never heard anyone so much as comment on this scandal, and I get a kick out of this stuff.<br /><br />How many other classic moments of spontaneity might have similar dark histories? Did Walt really give that Opening Day speech on Opening Day, or was it filmed in a soundstage weeks before the premiere?Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10716615984558559910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-64808279189364447632011-08-19T10:19:42.467-07:002011-08-19T10:19:42.467-07:00Seems to me I remember a slightly different versio...Seems to me I remember a slightly different version of the last photo, taken more from the left of this vantage point, with more of the monorail station in the background and Nixon in a dark suit. <br /><br />That silver coat is pretty flashy, dark blue or gray is a better choice for black and white in my opinion. Of course, my suit is silver too.<br /><br />Or am I the one hallucinating now?<br /><br />The workman bending over is an unfortunate detail, and if you crop him out, you lose the matterhorn... maybe there are pictures from this day after all, who would leave that in a publicity photo?<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-53715955666301343772011-08-17T18:13:26.861-07:002011-08-17T18:13:26.861-07:00You're right....you need to get a life Dave. L...You're right....you need to get a life Dave. LOL! No, no...just kidding, I think you have a fabulous collection of Disneyland photographs and obviously you appreciate them and look at them quite often to notice these things. It MUST be a publicity shot, because as Ms. Eisenhower so aptly put it "Nobody changed clothes twice in one day"...That's only something modern city folk do these days.C.R.

In those first pics they are further back....near the railing that was along the very edge of the platform. In the other pics, they have all moved forward.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-44924499434417520492011-08-17T09:12:14.163-07:002011-08-17T09:12:14.163-07:00Nice work, Sam Spade!Nice work, Sam Spade!Donniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00967754816339025176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-32423492420781072002011-08-17T06:46:01.016-07:002011-08-17T06:46:01.016-07:00Chiana - The Disney Archives probably has actual i...Chiana - The Disney Archives probably has actual info about the sequence of events for that day.Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-45470091701271384412011-08-17T05:16:34.529-07:002011-08-17T05:16:34.529-07:00First, thanks for pulling these all together!
