How to get in touch with old Disney employees?

[Walt Disney1955]

I just always wanted to have a chat with some of the old-timers from back in the day when Walt was alive. We all know Lillian is gone, Diane and Sharon are gone too. Roy Jr. as well. I'd have loved to have talked to them about Walt and the Disney company at that time. Oh, the stories.

But living are still people like Ron Miller, Richard Sherman (or is it Robert?) and Floyd Norman. I am missing some I am sure, but them I would love to talk to. They'd have some stories for sure.

Anyway a person can get a hold of them, email them, or others, etc?

I don’t imagine it will be easy getting to know some of these remaining Walt-era figures. They are pretty long in the tooth now. That said, I would reach out to Chuck Schmidt. He is a Disney historian and blogger who seems to know many important and relatively early imagineers and artists. His address is goofyaboutdisney@aol.com.

Many of the major old timers have restricted their thoughts about Walt and others I would imagine wouldnt want to open themselves up for chats to just anyone. They would reserve themselves for interviews to journalists or authors who are looking to publish their thoughts and remarks about Walt in a major publications or magazines. Otherwise they stay fairly private in their after Disney lives.

Check the cons, both Disney and non. Floyd pops up time from time.
