Re: What a great site and wonderful memories

Re: Employee cafeteria
I couldn't agree with you more. I worked at the Santa Clara park and remembered how much I loved heading to the cafeteria with friends for lunch. I spent most of my time in the cheeseburger and frise side of the two lines. Good times and great memories

Re: What a great site and wonderful memories
HI MGA1 - Thanks so much for writing back and jogging my memory about the burger places. The half hour special was call "Family Fun time USA" (I think that's what it was call). The show had Jonathan Winters and Joyce Dewitt performing comedy skits in different areas of the park, along with...

What a great site and wonderful memories
Thanks for taking the time to build this web site. I've really enjoyed my stroll through the different discussion forums and well as the photo albums. I worked at the Santa Clara Park between 1978 - 1981 or 82. I have to say that working at the park resulted in some of my most fondest memories. Look...
