Q: I am working with a patient who went to Disneyland in or around 1955 with her classmates from Lewis Carroll elementary in Vallejo, California. This was a school for disabled children. Bianca Culbertson has cerebral palsy. She said the story was in the Vallejo newspaper with a picture of her with her class. This was a hugely memorable event in her life. She is trying to find a copy of that picture. I can’t find the school, have left messages for the school district and did a search with the papers, with no success. Can you give me any ideas?

A: It would seem like you have checked all the obvious sources. The Disney Archives does have a collection of newspaper clippings about Disneyland, but would need a more accurate date and school name in order to know where to look.
