The 1962 Nats program tells you everything you need to know about what was going on at Glenview Naval Air Station during July 23-29, 1962 – including performances by the Navy’s steel drum band and trampoline group.

But, if you want to know who was there (or at least some of the 1100 people there) check out this prop signed 1962 Nats contestants and then collected (and donated) by Mark Radcliff. How many people do you know? ~And, no, Bob Sifleet isn’t one of the signatures!
