Being lucky enough to currently have an office in the "Old" Animation Building, I can't tell how great it is to hear these stories. As you know Floyd, the building still has a lot of character. I'm on the 3rd floor, not far from Walt's office...the memories reverberate through the halls like music. I'll be making the trip to the commissary tomorrow, making sure to bring my umbrella!  Happy Holidays, Bob.

Thanks so much, Floyd, for sharing with us.  

It's so neat to get such a window into such a special time and place so few were able to experience.  

Merry Christmas!

Thanks Floyd for the article.  It brings back many memories as back in 1956 I was the first college graduate that the Studio haired into the Traffic Department.  I was most grateful to be assigned to the Animatikon Bldg. and had a space on the second floor where mail would be delivered by dumb waiter to me to distribute throughout the building.  This included Walt, Roy, all the legends of that time, perhaps I delivered to you Floyd, the animators, and W.E.D. which was locationed in 1E, as I remember.  How honored I was to have had that experience before moving on into Publicity and then through Van France on to Disneyland.  Floyd, I have been trying to solve a mystery for some time and perhaps you can help me.  While I was in the Traffic Department I noticed that people had their own coffee cups.  At the time I thought it would be great to have one with a cartoon of me on it.  One of the animators agreed to do it and came up with a great one of me.  I have kept that cup over the years and the initials E.C. are at the bottom and I can't put a name to it.  Wondered if those initials rang a bell with you?  If so, perhaps you could respond at this site or at glosmanjw2@juno.com.  Thanks again for sharing.
