A 1930s photo taken by my father of "Old Faithful" in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming

A 1930s photo taken by my father of "Old Faithful" in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming where he would take my mother and my brother and sister for many camping trips in the 30s before I was born

Child actor Bobby Driscoll, who was born in the state of Iowa and got into the movies after his family moved to California...He was Disney`s top child star in the late 40`s and early 50`s but after being dumped by Disney in the early 50`s, he turned to drugs and got into trouble with the law and then dropped out of sight during the 60`s...His last known film was with Frances Farmer and Connie Stevens, in 1958, called "The Party Crashers" which was a flop, and which was also Frances Farmer`s last movie after being released from the state hospital system in 1950...Driscoll was found dead in an abandoned apartment building in 1968 in New York City, at the age of 31, from a drug overdose, and no one knew who he was at the time...He is now buried in a pauper`s grave in New York City...
