A wonderful magazine cover of the newly opened Nature's Wonderland Railroad. Unfortunately the inside story on filming at an amusement park does not feature Disneyland. I believe the images in the article are from Fantasy Island in Long Island, New York which had just opened. The magazine is a fun look at Suburban culture in the 1960's. I can see Mr. Cleaver reading this magazine.
I was saddened by news that Fess Parker passed away yesterday. He was a great Disney personality and one of the nicest persons I have ever met. He will be missed and I will sing the Davey Crockett theme in his memory...and drink out of the Fess Parker winery glass tonight.

Nice item! Have never seen this before.
And Fess will be missed by many. What a great American.
How did you meet him???
I saw him at a Hollywood Bowl show celebrating Disneyland's 50th, it was hard to believe that he was 80 years old at the time. He seemed like a great guy, so sad that he's gone.
