This was when Hawaii first became a state. Now 52 years later, we have a Hawaiian in the White House.

This episode included the television premieres of the 1960 Dodge and 1960 Dodge Dart.

WOW! Great Welk historic time capsule. I tend to forget the flag only had 48 stars when I was born. The 1960 Dodge tail-finned Senecas, Pioneers and Polaras were just as exciting as Jack and Jackie taking up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Joy for what was, sadness for what is.

This number, which led off this Lawrence Welk telecast, features Buddy Merrill on steel guitar and Russ Klein on clarinet. ALOHA!
