My father, George Smith, was president of NABET back then.

It looks like ABC had to pull together all of the extra cameras they had to do this coverage. I see ABC, KABC and WABC cameras in the pictures. I own the DVD of this broadcast. It was quite an achievement considering how they had to do it. Art Linkletter was the anchor and July 17, 1955 was his 43rd birthday. The two other co-hosts were Bob Cummings and Ronald Reagan. Art came back to host the 50th anniversary of Disneyland on his 93rd birthday. You can see photos of that event on the Chuck Pharis web site.
