I love your articles Steve! Do you have a copy of the stamp from when Disneyland DID stamp letters with the official seal? That would be interesting to see.

[Steve DeGaetano]

I may, daliseurat. I'll have to check the backs of the several postcards I have from the early days.

Thanks for the kind words.

Very interesting article! Now I have that song stuck in my head, and I don't know all of the words anymore.
"Casey Jones!
Chuggin' through the water!
Casey Jones!
Goin' through the mud.
Casey Jones!
Chug, chug, chug..."
That's all I've got. I remember an Irish male voice singing. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say it was the same gentleman who voiced the March Hare in "Alice in Wonderland". But it's been a long time since I've seen that cartoon.

Jerry Colonna (1904 - 1986) was the Narrator. Google up "The Brave Engineer" short from 1950.

And yes, he also was the voice of the March Hare in Alice in Wonderland.
