1961 - Into the pool


An iconic family shot taken during the 1961 Disneyland trip. Sandy and Charlie jump into the pool at the Anaheim motel, that might be the Disneyland sign at the entrance to the park in the distance. Father managed to get us in an action shot. Sandy flops into to pool (much like I do now) but I'm in the air with arms outstretched. Charlie somehow manages to get so much lift from a standing position on the concrete edge as he gracefully dives into the pool.

Different strokes, etc. Nice job getting us both in the air. I remember the bathing suit, striped blue and turquoise in a terry cloth type fabric.

From mom:

He was a wonderful diver but he quit later in competition.
