CoastersRZ Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Sad news indeed. Especially following on the heels of Marty Sklar. Thoughts go out to his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voicetek Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 It's sad that we're losing so many of this older generation. These guys had a direct link to Disney's past history and even Walt himself. I love listening to these guys talk and tell personal stories and anecdotes about working at the company and with Walt. It feels like we're losing a part of that history as each one of them passes. Hopefully they've written their stories down so that they can be passed on to future generations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Marty Sklar wrote a book a few years back which I read. Well worth a read for any Disney fan. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you happen to remember the title of the book? I'd be interested to check it out myself. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
