Another memory permanently burned into my brain out of sheer terror...I was around 8, so this would have been in the late 70s. This occurred in the vicinity of the train trestle near the Saloon. I had gotten separated from my family, so I approached an employee/character and told him that I was lost. So what does he do? He shoots his gun up in the air twice and yells, "Does anyone know this boy? He's done lost his family. If you know him, come and get him!". Well that didn't help me much! Then he said he would stay with me until my parents came back to find me.I doubt if that is the current protocol for handling a lost child, but to be honest I'm glad that was the way he did it. It makes for a great memory and a fun story to tell my girls.
