Most of the game is there and Tommy Walker is featured prominently. The game is in four parts.LoyalTubisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14134197660709867672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-43191075485462909692006-11-10T21:53:00.000-08:002006-11-10T21:53:00.000-08:00Great background info on Tommy.

I truly enjoy viewing your amazing photo collection and reading your blog every day. Don’t grow weary of well doing. I still smell a book a-comin’<br /><br />From what I can tell that is Tommy on the left and his Dad, Vesey, in uniform on the right. Tommy Walker is considered some what of a legend around here at USC. The "Charge" call was written while he was a student. Someone from the Disneyland Alumni Club said that Tommy was asked to leave the company when it was discovered that he started purchasing some land in central Florida before anything was announced. OOPS! Don't know if that is true... just what I heard.Amazon Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084041848576881706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-62964484434341106152006-11-10T06:42:00.000-08:002006-11-10T06:42:00.000-08:00Great image, thanks for sharing in on the Disneyla...Great image, thanks for sharing in on the Disneyland Band image fest!! I think the band leader is Tommy as well, but it is hard to tell. There is not that much information about the band and band members out there.Matterhorn1959https://www.blogger.com/profile/07140583153080149244noreply@blogger.com
