2	Labuda Fri 9/10/2004 8:13a	Wonderful article. Thank you for all you did, Mr. Thomas, and may you rest in peace.

5	Kevin Duck Fri 9/10/2004 1:19p	Great article. It really covered what made Mr. Thomas such a legend in his own time.
6	Buzz Lite-Snack Fri 9/10/2004 1:24p	That was a wonderful article. Now that I work at Disney, I find that it is often my role to educate my co-workers in who these Disney Legends are, people that WE all know of and appreciate so much. It pains me to say that most people here in the DVD audio division had no idea who I was talking about yesterday when I first heard the news. I will forward the link to the article to many here in hopes that they will take the time to gain some appreciation for Frank Thomas' life and amazing contributions to this company and to the art of animation. And I will never forget Frank Thomas or the image I have of him shuffling along with his walker - and honking the attached bycicle horn at unsuspecting passers-by. :) -Buzz
