It was, and still is, a sad day for many people, December 15, 1966.
For it was on this day in history that Walt Disney died.
Being born in 1959, I was old enough to remember watching Walt Disney on Sunday nights, as he came into the living rooms of Americans across the country.
He made such an impression on me that I eventually found my way to Disneyland as a 12-year old Guest.
And years later, while attending a Pennsylvania College, I spent a winter semester (1982) as a Magic Kingdon Adventureland Jungle Cruise skipper, jungle jeff.
There’s more, much more, about this Disney story, but it’s a tale for another time.
Have a Magical Day everyone. Signing off from Orlando, Florida and living right next to the Walt Disney World Resort, jungle jeff 🙂
PS. We miss you Walt.
