Another Christmas Photo Date: 01-08-2009 By: Pro2am	I know that Christmas is over but what the heck. Since we're into "vintage" stuff here's a photo taken on Christmas morning 1959. My brother Larry is posing with his new Miller small dinosaur set while I'm involved with my Marx Cape Canaveral setup. Mike Rapchak Jr.	2

No photos available, however, but just as well. Cal City was going strong at the time, and they served anyone in uniform, even 18-year old Marines like me. I remember my 1959 Christmas as party time before I shipped out to Hawaii and then SE Asia.
