I think it was about 4 months ago, that someone turned me on to
The Happiest Faces on Earth, and the fact that Disneyland was going to be 50 Years old in 2005. Disney was looking for pictures that have been taken at Disneyland thru the years.
Well, I had just gone thru the case of "old" slides. (for the younguns, those are like negatives encased so that they can be shown on a slide projector) and there were pictures from Disneyland in the early 1960. So I sent in 5 pictures.
Cut to yesterday.
I received an email from the Disney Corp. and they would like to use 3 of my pictures. Dang, was I surprised. I have to get permission to use the picture from all who are in them. Pretty easy since they are my brother, mom, my "little gram and me. My dad always took the "slides". Mom has already said "Yes, we will be famous!" in our own minds anyway. Bro is out of town but I am sure he will be "okay" with it. And "Little Gram" I am sure is jumping up and down in heaven, saying "sure - Yah - you betcha".
The pictures that are going to make us famous are in the extended:
Disneyland entrance from left: Little Gram, me, Bro, Mom
Autopia in 1960, I win! first car=me second car=Bro
View from the Mark Twain from left: Little Gram, me, Bro and Mom
Aren't those the cutest little faces you've ever seen on those little blondies. Real blondes. Bet you haven't seen any of those for a long time. Love ya. Mom
Those are GREAT! Please sdon't forget us "little people" when you get all rich and famous!
Very cool. That must have been the Grandma look back then. All Grandma pictures I see from that time frame, they look like that.
Make sure they throw in the perk about a family vacation for the next couple of years at their park as well. Milk it baby, MILK IT!!!
