Well that was pretty cool. I had the honor of sitting across the table from Ward Kimball, his wife and Walter Gray III at a CSRM symposium dinner back when they did those things. I didn’t know who he was at the time, and wondered why this railfan was wearing those hip glasses? I thought they were a bit presumptuous for a railfan, but, as it turned out, he was an extremely nice and a sincere person, and would talk to a mere mortal like me…. Besides all the Disney stuff he is famous for, he also was a pretty mean trombone player with his band, Fire House Five Plus Two. [
