Guest columnist Robert Baca's second article for DLDHistory.com Disneyland Mavericks..

Hello again to all you Disneyland lovers. I thought I would share a different angle on things this time. A HAPPIER one!!! I’ll tell you a little more about myself and some of the crazy things I did just because I and the canoe crew truly loved the Rivers of America at Disneyland. When I started working at the park in the end of ‘95, I was like a child in a candy store. See, I grew up with my oldest brother working there from ‘74 till ‘92. That played a huge roll in my life as a child, constantly influencing my desire to be a part of the magic.
