Here's my favorite image in the entire article: http://blog.modernmechanix.com /2007/01/12/the-magic-worlds-of-walt-disney-part-2/?Qwd=./NationalGeographic/8-1963/disney2&Qif=disney_29.jpg&Qiv=thumbs&Qis=XL#qdig

Just like you said, DlandDug - it was the only way to get a Disney "fix" (of course it wasn't called that back then!- but that's what it was!)other than waiting each week to see Walt on The Wonderful World of Color. Many years later, I managed to acquire 2 copies. No idea what happened to the family archives! Probably they were discarded during a move.But I treasure these and other magazines with Disney articles from the 50's or 60's. The images are ingrained in my brain!
