Walt’s grandson pays tribute to Imagineer Bruce Gordon

Brucegordon06_lrg Walter E.D. Miller, president of the Walt Disney Family Foundation, has written this moving tribute to Bruce Gordon who was recently found dead in his home.

The first time that we met Bruce Gordon was on a soundstage in
Hollywood, where we interviewed him for the Walt Disney Family
Foundation/Pantheon Productions documentary ”Walt: The Man Behind the
Myth.” Bruce spoke eloquently and enthusiastically that day, about
Walt and Disneyland. My Mom, sister Joanna and I were a captivated
audience. After the interview, we hoped to chat for a minute or two,
but just as quickly as he had entered the stage in his blue, button
down dress shirt, khaki pants, and black tennis shoes, he was out the
door, back to Walt Disney Imagineering.

It was just recently that Bruce told me he had no idea that these were scheduled to be on-camera interviews

Some of those interviews are now excerpted on the Walt Disney Family Museum website. There are also some photos of Bruce working on the Walt Disney Family Museum to be located at the Presidio in San Francisco. (Link)
