I loved wearing them, and I have a pair now that I got a few years ago and still wear them in the summertime :-) <br /><br />Patrick, I was going to say how Bavarian the middle view is as well. If you couldnt see the people, it would look like a far-off view high in the mountains (like the Trollenberg in the movie "The Crawling Eye")<br /><br />the last view of the Mark Twain is lovely, as most are. its so peaceful, at least for me. I can feel the breeze blowing my hair....ahhh, to be at Disneyland right now!! It is a definite daily thought for me. <br /><br />thanks for such nice randomness today, Major! :-)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895614694411482044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-63940083101178933512015-03-31T11:05:46.730-07:002015-03-31T11:05:46.730-07:00Not quite sure why, but that little girl's dre...Not quite sure why, but that little girl's dress in the first picture makes me think of the "Heffalumps and Woozles" segment of <i>Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day</i>, which was also released in 1968.<br /><br />Nanook, my research corroborates that 1970 start date for GAF sponsorship. Polaroid took over from GAF in 1977, and then Kodak resumed sponsorship from 1982 until they filed for bankruptcy in 2012. Nikon is the current camera sponsor.Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-43258922862795659962015-03-31T10:17:22.568-07:002015-03-31T10:17:22.568-07:00Yes, indeedee, the building with the light blue ba...Yes, indeedee, the building with the light blue balcony railing near the far left of the first image is the "shy" Mineral Hall. <br /><br />And in the Castle/Matterhorn image, we can spy Tinkerbell's "helper cable", passing behind the Sleeping Beauty Castle.<br /><br />And, Major, if my research is correct, GAF opened its Main Street Store (following Kodak's closing) on December 20, 1970.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-73232023902983399712015-03-31T09:38:21.788-07:002015-03-31T09:38:21.788-07:00Great stuff, Major.
