Matt’s tennis team are region champs for the
fourth year in a row. Next week they
travel to Lexington to participate in the Kentucky State High School Tennis
Tournament. Matt get’s to play for the first time, after six years of play.
Keep moving forward.
On this date in 1922, Nancy Walker was born in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Nancy played Rosie, the coffee counter waitress who
was forever cleaning up messes with Bounty paper towels. In 1973, Walker
appeared as Mrs. Petersen in The World’s
Greatest Athlete. So let’s visit the All-Star Sports Resort and remember: Bounty
is the quicker picker upper.
Rosie the waitress for Bounty.
I would have paid a huge amount of cash to have
the voice of Gary Owens. I always thought of his voice as the perfect
announcers voice. As the announcer of Rowan
and Martin’s Laugh-In, he was forever broadcasting from “Beautiful Downtown
Burbank.” Owens was the voice of World of Motion at EPCOT Center and a host of
other Disney projects: The Love Bug,
Return from Witch Mountain, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and Wizards of
Waverly Place. In 1980, Gary received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
right beside Walt. Gary was born on this day in 1936; celebrate his birthday on
the Buzz Lightyear ride at The Magic Kingdom.
A short clip from Laugh-In
Paige O’Hara was born on this date in 1956 in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida. If she had never done anything else, one role ensured
her spot as a Disney Legend. Paige is the voice of Belle in Beauty and the Beast. She has also
played Belle in Belle’s Magical World,
Beauty and the World of Music and Beauty
and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas. Get to Hollywood Studios and watch
the stage version of Beauty and the
Beast. The show opened at the Studios on the same day the movie opened in
theatres and it has run ever since.
Finally, on this day in 1752, Benjamin Franklin
first tested the lightning rod. Orlando is lightning central and every building
has a, if not multiple, lightning rods. Just look around, you’ll see them
everywhere. They are crucial, two years ago, while we were eating at Le Cellier
in EPCOT, the building we were in was hit by lightning… it’s scary even with
the lightning rods.
Remember, your best excuse is always: waiting
for your dreams to come true.
