I am so glad to see that the love for Weeki Wachi has never been lost. I was a playground for me in the 60's and I finally went back in the 2000's.
I always regretted not owning some of the 8mm or the View Masters.
That was another time....
Live on Weeki Wachi.....
My favorite show was Alice In Waterland... wow... so long ago...
