On this day in 1890,
Junius Matthews was born in Chicago, Illinois. Matthews was the original voice
of Rabbit for the Winnie the Pooh and the voice of Archimedes the Owl in The Sword in the Stone. For fun, let’s
try to pull the sword out of the stone in front of the carousel in The Magic
Kingdom.
Bush 41 was born on
this date in 1924. George H.W., the father of George W. (Bush 43) appeared at
EPCOT in 1991. Visit the Hall of Presidents, that shouldn’t shock you.
1928, Richard Sherman
was born in New York. Richard and Robert wrote many classic Disney songs
including the earworm of all earworms, “It’s a Small World.” Go ride it and
sing along the rest of the day.
1959: John
Sidney Linnel, one half of rock duo They Might Be Giants, is born in New
York City. Disney credits include the albums Here Comes the ABCs and Here
Comes the 123s and the soundtracks Disney's Return To Never Land, Disney's
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Meet The Robinsons (my favorite Disney movie). Hit Peter
Pan’s Flight.
1849: Lewis Haslett
of Louisville, Kentucky patented the gas mask. The gas mask came in handy
during World War I. Walt served as an ambulance driver for the Red Cross during
World War I. Let’s enjoy One Man’s Dream at Hollywood Studios where you can see
a picture of Walt during his ambulance driving days.
Remember, your best
excuse is always: waiting for your dreams to come true.
