Maybe someone else has the real story.<br /><br />My stories are third-hand and 30 years old at least.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-13375368952311803722011-11-08T01:05:00.371-08:002011-11-08T01:05:00.371-08:00Always wondered how they changed shifts, did they ...Always wondered how they changed shifts, did they swim back?fuzzheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07389255821648802520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-66655553621038119272011-11-07T13:08:47.950-08:002011-11-07T13:08:47.950-08:00David - my mermaid shots aren't that great eit...David - my mermaid shots aren't that great either...I'm sure it was difficult back in the day with the available cameras for guests to get a good one.<br /><br />JG - As always, great background stories!<br /><br />Thufer - Where else but Daveland could you get Fried Chicken and Mermaids in the same post?!?Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-11207583196215923542011-11-07T12:14:56.701-08:002011-11-07T12:14:56.701-08:00Another outstanding post.

For him, never happened.<br /><br />On a related topic, one of my daughter's friends has a job as a mermaid, swimming in a tank over the bar in a cocktail place. Not sure where, but the job continues, if not at Disneyland.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-47559232625635944882011-11-07T09:17:57.732-08:002011-11-07T09:17:57.732-08:00More great pictures and unusual details from the 7...More great pictures and unusual details from the 70's! <br /><br />I have a few photos of mermaids, but they are too distant to make an ID. Plus I know I have some others that I haven't scanned yet...
