Sad news. Diane Disney, Walt's daughter, died today at the age of 79.
I had the opportunity to meet Diane in 1984, as a Cal Arts student. The school had just completed a new student apartment complex, and was having an open house for the trustees. As a rule, if there was free wine and food to be had, we were there - we being fellow students Tim Hauser, Kevin Lima, and myself. Tim has the greatest knowledge of all things Disney of anyone I know, and he was quick to point out the presence of the big players - Card Walker, Donn B. Tatum, Roy Disney, and his cousin Diane.
