Greetings fellow Mouse Fans!
I apologize for my absence earlier this week. I was out of town due to a death in the family.
The Disney family also lost a loved one this week. Roy E. Disney, son of The Walt Disney Company co-founder Roy O. Disney and nephew of Walt Disney, passed away yesterday, December 16, 2009 after a year-long battle with stomach cancer. Roy began his work with The Walt Disney Studios in 1953 as an assistant film editor and over his 56 years with the company was instrumental to Disney’s revitalization of animation and as Head of Animation helped usher in the second "Golden Age of Animation" with films such as "The Little Mermaid", "Aladdin" and "Beauty and the Beast."
The official obituary can be found on Disney’s web site. Rest in peace Roy. You will be missed!
Be well and make magic wherever you go!
