Thanks for today's article Mr. Norman. I don't think it would be easy growing up under the shadow of a famous father. I am a bit jealous of John Kimball though. It was because reading about his parents that I wanted a full size steam train in my own back yard. I just couldn't understand why my parents didn't think it was such a good idea. I've also wondered if Walt and Lillian's daughters felt it a bit daunting to be under their Dad's shadow. As such I was hopeing that the Walt Disney Family Museum would show a bit more of their accomplishments. Especially their own children and what their kids are doing now. (but that's not what the museum is about is it.) By the way, I loved the museum and want to thank you for your contributions to it. My Dad had been barracked in that building when he was in the military so he was doubly pleased to see how it looks now. It's certainly better looking than when it had nothing but rows of bunks with mattresses that were as thin as a pancake.
