Thank you, Floyd, have been reading these trips down memory lane of yours for a long time now and still loving every one. I find it amusing that most Disney artists found themselves too tired to attend class after a day's work, but people like Frank and Ollie -- who were no slouches at the drawing board -- not only found the energy to attend, but also to TEACH! A little extra effort goes a long way, I suppose. What an amazing time to be at the Disney studio.

Hello Floyd and thank you for this trip down memory lane! Say, didn't Disney offer classes previously during the 1940's or earlier? More specifically 1946? I mean of couse the film The Reluctant Dragon.(One of my all time favorites. Robert Benchley is hilarious in that film) I know the classroom footage in that was shot on one of the sound stages. My question is, was Disney actually offering classes in 1946?

Also everyone I recently purchased an interview with Lillian Disney from the Extinct Attractions Club. Her daughter Dianne Miller and one of the Miller grandchildren are also featured. The interview was circa 1983, opening of Epcot. I was actually surprised at an answer that the family gave regarding moving away from the city concept. Go to the Extinct Attractions web site and click on the DVD list. From there click on "Legends" and click on "Lillian Disney."
