This is sad. I grew up at Disneyland, but was never really "into" it - the history and lore of its creation. When I was young I never gave any thought to how any of it was done, it was just a playground for me and my best friend to run around in, causing mild mayhem. I never realized how familiar I was with the Disneyland voice-overs - they are so burned into my brain I almost don't hear them anymore. I'm greatful that people like Ravenscroft and Paul Frees have such rich entertainent legacies for us to re-discover and enjoy, even if we knew them all along.

May they rest in peace.

PS: Thanks for posting those MP3s, Tangaroa. They are GRRREEEEAAAAAT! That must have been a real thrill to work with him.
