BTW, you HELD one of his sketch books?? Crazy.

When you got invited into Dave's office, and you spent a couple hours with him telling stories and showing things, you quickly get to see how much he was into collecting and preserving this stuff for the company. He had all kinds of crazy things in his office which we got to look at and carefully handle. The first box-office ticket to Disneyland which was sold to Roy Disney ironically held in a simple tiny plastic name-badge sleeve. The company's copies of several of Walt's Academy Awards. Other movie memorabilia and history. It was breathtaking. But I was on the lot for something much more exciting that day - all the living cast and crew came for the 27th anniversary private screening of Mary Poppins. The main actors weren't there, but the choreographers, songwriters, etc. were present. I have a lot of interesting stories from my days with Disney.

Ok, really off-topic. But just like with tiki, when you get an opportunity, jump in with both feet immediately or you may regret not doing so in the future.
