The Frontier Kid

The Autobiography of Glenn J. Smith

World Fair Trip

While I'm recording I might as well tell about trip that the whole family went on in the 1960's, I had to make a business trip to Seattle Washington for a meeting with some of our distributers, in-as-much as the Seattle worlds fair happened to be on at this particular time I figured it was a great opportunity to take the kids and Ardis with me, my expenses would be paid by the company so plans were made and everyone went to the worlds fair. The trip by the union pacific train was the highlight of the vacation for the family, we had access to the vista-dome on each car which made visibility almost 360 degrees

The worlds fair was quite a treat for the kids, they rode the rides which many were new and we ate dinner one night in the 600 foot high space needle and rode on the bullet shuttle and did many other things. One thing they will remember, they took a wild ride on the mouse. It was very beautiful going thru' the rocky mountains and glacial national park ,we saw many deer and elk and some rocky mountain sheep and a lot of snow, the kids really enjoyed the worlds fair and the trip out there and home was very educational for them.
