Bob,

Thank you so much for writing this. As someone who was a huge fan of both men, but never attended their convention presentations, you made me feel like I was there.

I saw some of that "live video feed" from Japan when it was played at Mumford's memorial.

I could go on and on about those two guys, but I already wrote about them here:

Again, than you so much for writing this.

You're very welcome! Believe me, this was something I've wanted to do for a long time, and the Legends ceremony finally gave me the motivation I needed.

And I'm really indebted to Carole Mumford for helping me with this.

Bob W.

Bravo Bob and brava, Carole - this was a beautiful and very fitting tribute to two great Imagineers and great human beings.

Excellent article, Bob. I'm glad Carole was able to help you out with this endeavor. And thanks for including that photo of Dave's starfish. What a hoot! Looks just like him. I hope someday to have the chance to see the original at TDS.

Cute anecdote from Tony about Bruce, with the chalk and carpenters. Seems like something Bruce would do. "It's better to ask forgiveness than ask for permission" was one of his favorite sayings. The chalk & carpenters story demonstrates this mantra well.

I'd also like to second Dave's request to Fab, to have her post on the boards more often. Disney fandom just isn't the same without her. Hope to read her posts again in the near future.
