Roger Axworthy, T.J. Marker, Ted Nichols, John Borneman
August, 1960.
Roger is hamming it up as they head north in Central Plaza toward the Matterhorn. Roger
was known for his ebullient personality and often rode the bike backwards while greeting
guests and flirting with the ladies. Roger had been a ride operator at Disneyland, but
wanted to get into show business, so he asked for an audition with the Dapper Dans. Roger
was also a choral music teacher and the Chairman of Vocal Music for the Anaheim School
District. After his retirement, Roger later subbed in a few times with the Dappers in
1996. |
