This is slightly off-topic but the Los Angeles Times published my
letter to the editor last week:
"I read your editorial today about Disneyland's 50th anniversary this
summer. I was there as a Junior in high school the summer it opened in
1955. I was Class Photographer and had a German 35-mm Agfa camera that
my parents were holding. When my brother and I got off the Jungle
Cruise, Walt Disney himself was standing at the ride exit talking to my
parents and admiring my camera. I immediately recognized him from his
hosting of the Wonderful World of Disney TV series. I will always
remember his down-to-earth manner and interest in our family's day at
the Park."

Sheesh - one of the people in the world I would dearly have suffered to have
met. I was a kid when he died and I was one of those "I don't cry" types but
I cried.
