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.

Believe it or not, I actually have a childhood memory connected to Disney's passing.
