Piece Of The Rock

The Rock of Gibraltar, early 1950's.  Dad took this during his Navy tour of duty in the Mediterranean Sea during the Korean conflict.  During slide shows when I was a kid I was so impressed that my dad had actually seen the rock used in Prudential commercials.

King of the Wild Frontier: 1963

Entrance to Frontierland, August 1963. Disneyland was my favorite place in the whole world even before I ever got there. Over the course of several trips starting in 1960, I took hundreds of color slides, but apparently this Kodachrome is the only photo actually showing me there. The first one who spots me gets a free E ticket for the Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland.
