I looked at the ...Nanook, no cheating was involved! I looked at the same jpeg as you (I’m too lazy to plug in my external hard drive to look at the high-res original). It’s just that I’m such a poster nerd that the tiny bit of purple and blue was all I needed.<br /><br />Alonzo, I am glad to know that these would be “Yoda approved”!<br /><br />JG, yes, I think it is sweet to see the sister looking out for her brother. My niece was the same way, very generous and caring even as a young girl. Yum, non-carbonated orange drink!<br /><br />K. Martinez, thanks! And I always like to see those old stands of eucalyptus trees.<br /><br />JG, I think a lot of people skip to the pictures, which is OK. It is a photo blog, after all. It reminds me of an old cartoon - a man working at “LIFE” magazine asks a fellow editor if it is alright to refer to their subscribers as “readers”.<br /><br />Dean Finder, just as long as you don’t walk around Disneyland “commando”, if you know what I mean.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-26007729193628644142017-08-14T19:06:00.418-07:002017-08-14T19:06:00.418-07:00If I ever make it to Disneyland, I'm totally w...If I ever make it to Disneyland, I'm totally walking around in that "Air Force Casual" look of the Dumbo ROs.Dean Findernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-28873731878947250782017-08-14T12:14:10.442-07:002017-08-14T12:14:10.442-07:00Ha Ha!

I should read the text more closely instead of skipping straight to the pictures.<br /><br />You already mentioned all the posters I could recognize. Duh.<br /><br />Thanks Major.<br /><br />Also, good to know that the young man with the tie is a Ride Operator. I have some personal B&W pics of the Casey Junior Ride from this era with two fellows in similar garb. I assumed they were staff, but maybe from Burbank HQ or something. Looks like they were RO's for Casey.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-69633664106369197122017-08-14T12:12:31.916-07:002017-08-14T12:12:31.916-07:00Guess I neglected to compliment you on your photo ...Guess I neglected to compliment you on your photo rescans today.

That should be Fan 1 in the background of the first image - and a couple of attraction posters you missed on the right: The Jungle River Cruise; and the Columbia.
