    Disney icon

    Just met one of Disney's early icon's, Richard Sherman. Sorry, just a quick cell phone pic that's not great quality.

    He and his brother Robert Sherman wrote the music to "It's a Small World" which opened 50 years ago today. There seems to be a lot of news coverage on the events today.

    As many of you know, the Sherman brothers wrote the music for "Mary Poppins", "The Jungle Book", "Winnie the Pooh", and many other movies and attractions over the years.

    I try and not overdo on the Disney stuff but thought I'd share.

    Very cool. Tons of news coverage today from early this morning on the news to probably tonight. It was of course closed when I was there a couple of weeks ago in preparation.

    That would be cool to see how different it was at the World's Fair before it moved to Disneyland.

    There is so much coolness about the Park and its history and happenings.

    I worked with a guy a few years ago who was bestowed a 'Construction Mikey' sticker for his hard hat. I understand that in the Disney Construction arena, those are just about the most coveted award that can be earned by either an employee or outside contractor. Joe ended up being hired by the Disney Construction Group sometime after the sticker award. Guessing that one had alot to do with the other.
