Thank you! Researching brought back a ton of memories, though there are a lot of gaps. I was only 9 years old at the time. I kind of thought the sights and sounds of the fair would elicit such a response from Illya, figuring he'd never experienced anything like it. Heck no one did back then, but his lack of a childhood (in my stories) made it all the more poignant to me.
Thanks so much for commenting, even though I know this was well before your time I hope you got the sense of wonder this fair brought about at the time. Amazingly the fair was actually a financial disaster, except I think for Disney of course. It's a small world is still one of their most popular attractions at all of their parks. Like U.N.C.L.E. that's staying power1 "D
