Oh...and the most important memory of all:


The grey General Electric MV-2 Portable Cleaner displayed along with all the other General Electric appliance gifts in the Grande Finale Christmas scene of the "Carousel of Progress" exhibit at the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair's General Electric Pavilion!  The pavilion was designed by Walt Disney and his amazing Imagineers, and the famous "Carousel of Progress" took audiences around 6 stages to see the advances made in home appliances through the 20th century by General Electric.  I even know the song by heart:  "There's a great big beautiful tomorrow....."


I wanted to ride that carousel over and over again just to see the little GE handvac!!!! :-)
