Bless you, he sure did! This was during the time when his family sometimes had to pass him off as a midget, and did so, with some success. Thanks for the link!

Walter Elias Disney, born on this date in 1901...one-hundred tens years ago.

One of Ray's dearest friends. Ray was at Disneyland when WED passed away.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person who remembers or cares that Louise Sager and two others died at Whitman Mission on this date in 1847. In any case, RIP.
