YEP! I will never forget when it opened, the then mayor, the Hon. William Donald Schaffer (Willie Don to his friends), sported a retro 1930's type full bodied swimsuit, a straw hat, a pair of flippers and jumped into the seal pool (IIRC). It was a hoot!!! Oh, and I almost forgot: he had a rubber ducky inner tube wrapped around his waist...gosh I wish I had a picture to show you!
