Charlie Brown Xmas Special and the kids who sang

If you ever go to Santa Rosa, besides the museum, there are
large statues of all Peanuts characters in town, and the little
airport’s info booth looks like Lucy’s 5 cent advice booth. When
I visited a friend nearby and flew home, an elderly man was in
the booth with his grandson, who’d come to help on his 12th
birthday. I asked if I could snap a pic, and they tried to get
me to be in the booth but I declined. It was just such an old
fashioned thing, I loved it.

I just love that entire album. Should put it in the Christmas
favorites. More than the Messiah even!

I was born and grew up in Santa Rosa. I was thrilled when I
learned Charles Schultz also lived there. I remember when the
ice rink was built with his name. I'll have to make a trip over
there to check it out. It's grown up a lot since I left in 76.
A few years ago my Oregon sister flew down and came in to the SR
Airport. That was an eye opener for me. It was not a commercial
airport like it is now. (I'm wondering if in another 50 years
the Nut Tree Airport will be as big.)
Thank you for sharing this. 😊

Hmm. Alaska Airlines flies a nonstrop from Seattle to Santa
Rosa. I could fly out of SeaTac at 10, rent a car in Santa
Rosa, and be in Mendocino in time for dinner! And not have to
face Siskiyou Summit.
