Hills Brothers Coffee
The Osmond Brothers at Disneyland
Those who read my book, The Vault of Walt , know that I stated that while researching Disney stories I try my best to go back to the original sources: newspapers and magazines from that time period, interviews with people who were there, legal documentation, and more. However, that doesn’t mean that I completely trust those sources. It just means that it gives me a pretty good foundation to do further research.
Lots of things have appeared in newspapers and magazines that aren’t true, including quotations attributed to a person. Legal documentation can be misleading or wrong as well since it is sometimes based on what is being told the person recording the information. More importantly, just because a person was actually there when something happened doesn’t mean they know the entire story of what was going on. In later years as well, chronological events sometimes become very fluid and things just blend together to make a better story.
Chuck Corson was a manager of the Customer Relations Division. In the early days of Disneyland, Entertainment was not a separate department, but part of the Customer Relations Division. Corson assisted the legendary Tommy Walker with the elaborate entertainment program in 1959 for the big openings of the Matterhorn, the Submarine Voyage and the Monorail.
Many people forget that the celebration also included Meredith Willson, who wrote one of my favorite musicals of all time The Music Man , conducted from a gazebo that moved down the street. He led a band that literally had 76 trombones (with 110 cornets right behind) just like in the famous song he wrote for that Broadway show. Nobody seems to mention that performance when mentioning that Willson came back to do a much larger version for the dedication of the Magic Kingdom in 1971.
Nearly 40 years later, after the 1959 ceremonies, Corson wrote the following anecdote to Ron Logan, then vice president of Entertainment, who was trying to gather up information about early Disney entertainment from those who were there. (Logan began his long career in Disney Entertainment in the early 1960s as a fanfare trumpet player for Disneyland’s Candlelight Processional.)
As Corson remembered how the Osmond Brothers were discovered at Disneyland:
“The Osmond family had driven down from Utah. In fact, they were sleeping in their camper in the parking lot. They came into the park one day, and the four little guys were enthralled with our Dapper Dans and asked if they could sing for them. They said, ‘sure’, and they wowed them. T.J. Marker who was the head of the [Dapper Dans] group, brought them to my office because he wanted me to hear them.

Garnet Ghost Town
During the weekend trip to Seeley Lake, we also had the chance to visit an old Ghost Town in the Montana mountains. Garnet, once a booming mining town with a population of around 1,000 is now home only to the rangers who protect it. There has been some work done to clear out the surrounding forest to make it less susceptible to forest fires, and different groups have come up to reinforce the remaining buildings to preserve this wonderful witness to frontier life. The town started in the 1880s I believe. As the name suggests, it was a mining town, although they were mostly interested in gold. While the town had four stores, four hotels and a booming 17 saloons, it still managed to be more family oriented than many of the other towns around. This is made evident by the building that I found most fascinating: The Newlywed House. I'm not sure if the whole sign will be legible, but basically a wealthy man built this house for the use of newlyweds. They could live here rent free until their own house was built, or until the next couple got married. Pretty cool if you ask me, although, despite having it's own two seater outhouse near the back, I'm not sure I'd be very well suited for this sort of living. Wandering around this place actually made me stop and evaluate what matters in life a bit. I've been reading a blog lately by someone who has stopped buying new clothes. She's been at it for several years, and shares a lot about ways to declutter life. Having spent several years out of country, I know what it means to live with little. In Hong Kong I had about a 6 by 6 foot space to call my own. With one suitcase and whatever I could buy as a volunteer, I learned to live with little. But all along I knew I had at least two bedrooms full of stuff at home. Every time I return from life abroad I cut down, but the thought of living in these cramped, cold, dirty quarters chills me. What would these people think if they saw an episode of any of the design shows on HGTV that I enjoy so much? It would be like traveling to a completely different world to them. Really makes me think. I was amused to see that they had Hills Bros Coffee, which I enjoy even today in mocha form. But mostly life's pleasures were of a simple nature for these hard working people. They had to take care of one another, to really live in community if they were to survive the hard Montana winters. The trails between houses were well worn, and no doubt everyone knew everyone's business.
