NickDG 23 #1 August 26, 2009 I saw this flick when it debuted in 1973 and I loved it! And I really thought we'd have something like it by now . . . If you haven't seen it - it's playing on TCM tonight. Or you can watch it online here (quality not too good, though). http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1050293299288170146 And here's the IMDb discription: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070909/ "Have we got a vacation for you!"

That's were I first saw him (it). I doubt people who see Abe today realize how "old" he really is . . . The photo is my class trip to that World's Fair, and we are at the train station. I'm in white holding the bag lunch my Mother made for me. I was in the fourth grade . . .

NickD I was just laughing to myself remembering my trip to the NY World's Fair in 1965 at the age of 11: There were so many things I wanted to see & didn't, yet Lincoln was one of the things I did see. Then I also remembered seeing a huge model train layout. That was good. Then my world came crashing down around me, because I also got dragged through Iiiiit's a small world after-all... I wanted to drown myself in the murky, smelly boat-ride-water by the time the torture ended! Yea, that debuted there also. Now I need a drink!
