Where Roostertails Fly 1952 Gold Cup

This was so much more than film clips of a hydro race!...It shows how naively "Gung-Ho" Seattleites were, about supporting their fair city. I was just five years old in 1952. But I can remember how "nice" people were to each other, in our neighborhoods across the city. People looked after each other, kept an eye on each other's kids! I had no fear, walking to and from my Kindergarten class at Daniel Bagley Elementary...not far from Greenlake! Times were more simple then, I feel fortunate to have been born a first wave Baby Boomer!...Even back then, Seattle had nearly 500,000 residents--but there was an overall feeling that we were city of neighbors..a large city, with smaller town values. Those days are gone, as so many of those happy folks we can see in these excellent film clips!
