Keep in mind that several shops in Disneyland at the time were run by outside vendors.keelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006640946874012637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-86178883817764548732012-09-01T01:15:01.393-07:002012-09-01T01:15:01.393-07:00Black Bart = Dick Morrison.

I bet he was about 20 years old when he started at the park. I've got some slides form the 1950s--and he looks young (way younger than Wally B). It would be interesting to find him, assuming he's still around.<br />Todd J.
