He lost his leg in the Korean War. <br />The two men with Walt and the tuna salad - on the left Peter Buchan (sp) and the one on the right is my father, Glenn Copeland - at the time he was Vice President of Chicken of the Sea. <br />The guys with Walt on the exterior shots - left to right Gilbert Van Camp Jr. in the dark glasses - He was president of Chicken of the Sea, the company had been started by his father, Gilbert, Sr.; then Capt. Guy, Walt and Glenn Copeland. <br />Regards,<br />John CopelandAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167893071452487523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-2728095165516165582012-07-06T17:43:00.037-07:002012-07-06T17:43:00.037-07:00Definitely put the pool in first.

As you are assembling it, you really need space all around to put up the wall and the liner, etc. Also, it's often easier to place, adjust, and trim the deck to fit the pool exactly, rather than the other way around.. . As for concrete underneath the pool, it's not necessary, but could be a good idea. For most installations, all that you need to do is level the ground, and put sand down for an even surface. Since the weight is evenly distributed, there's are no pressure points that need to be supported.. . If, however, the ground is very soft or marshy, then a concrete slab might be a good idea so that the pool doesn't shift over time.. . Incidentally, you'll definitely need concrete for the footings for the deck.Floating deckhttp://www.thruflow.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-37989744756821170322012-05-09T07:00:25.060-07:002012-05-09T07:00:25.060-07:00Walt is thinking, "I knew you could tune a pi...Walt is thinking, "I knew you could tune a piano, but how do you tune a boat?"Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-49614508474495742362012-05-01T20:46:50.610-07:002012-05-01T20:46:50.610-07:00This was always one of my favorite spots at Disney...This was always one of my favorite spots at Disneyland and no trip was complete without lunch at the "Tuna Boat." I still remember the smell of the water from Skull Rock falls and playing pirate up on the deck of Cap'n Hook's ship. I recall we did some things in that rigging that would give the Disney lawyers fits today! Thanks for the great memories as always.Dave Meekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955737281413114162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-2731001226715650232012-05-01T13:34:30.069-07:002012-05-01T13:34:30.069-07:00Thank you, Dave!

The loss of these beauties is one of the worst disfigurements Disneyland has suffered.<br /><br />But, we can still visit with your great pictures. I am stunned by the interiors, how wonderful to see that again. I did see in another blog a very dark shot of the Eyvind Earle mural on the back wall.<br /><br />Also good to see some pics of the outdoor dining area, which was one of my most favorite places, dark, cool, with the sound of running water. Just a beautiful little hiding place right outside the busy midway.<br /><br />I can see the beautiful stone mosaic paving in the last two B&W shots. I remember that so vividly, for some reason. Maybe because at that age, I was so close to it. Any chances of seeing that paving in color? I recall it as gray and white in black matrix, and similar to the paving in the restroom area of the Tiki Room.<br /><br />Thank you again.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-19465166802257927042012-05-01T09:50:09.603-07:002012-05-01T09:50:09.603-07:00I loved seeing the menu and all of the photos - e...I loved seeing the menu and all of the photos - especially the ones with Walt , and the menu!

Sadly, for the life of me, the Chicken of the Sea ship and Skull Rock are the two things I simply don't recall ever seeing. I grew up at Disneyland, did Grad Nite in 82, remember many things others don't, but those two things...I draw a blank.
