Many have passed away since this 1959 photo, but I see some of these folks on a monthly basis when I travel from San Diego to Los Angeles for a monthly Vasa Order of America Lodge meeting up on Sunset Blvd. Although they are in their mid 80's to early 90's, they're still a vibrant group of Swedish Americans. I would love to enlarge this photo to share with them! I have an original copy of the program flyer from that day, but have NEVER seen a photo. This is amazing!!!!!!! Can't wait to see if I can identify all of the dancers pictured.<br /><br />Wow - you just rocked my day!<br />Lenda Earl<br />Pacific BeachLendaEEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-62643192182649747252016-12-26T15:22:16.140-08:002016-12-26T15:22:16.140-08:00What a lovely coincidence: today at the Facebook g...What a lovely coincidence: today at the Facebook group Vintage Disneyland <br /><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/mveippqnytn2r9b/Disneyparade01a.m4v?dl=0" rel="nofollow">this</a> bit of footage was posted.

We had a house in Tahoe back then, and Squaw was my first Olympics I got to go to. I remember some of the early Christmas parades at Disneyland before the big ones started that were themed after Babes In Toyland and were the Parade of Toys. But before those toyland ones, the parades I saw were not the exquisite ones folks think of from the 60s on. beachgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145677285299398734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-29043068930222686512016-12-26T10:44:44.796-08:002016-12-26T10:44:44.796-08:00What a wonderful collection of unusual vintage Dis...What a wonderful collection of unusual vintage Disneyland photos today.
