Our own Doug Marsh posted a very detailed (and very accurate) report on last weeks tribute to John Hench at the Universal Sheraton.

Almost every important Imagineer from W.E.D.s good old days were there...
Rolly Crump spoke about John:
"So, concluded Rolly, “He did kinda teach me how to trace the tikis for the Tiki Room.” As he finished his comments, Rolly sheepishly admitted, “I would love to tell you stuff that I can’t tell you.”

It was surreal to see Eisner & Roy Disney, Jr. in the same place, being cordial to each other & paying tribute to Hench. Definately a interesting event...
