Sunday September 19, 2010
Our Dad, Fess Parker
3:00pm, Theater
The family of Fess Parker, Eli Parker, Ashley Parker Snider, and Tim Snider, will be on stage for a special tribute and panel discussion, featuring rare film footage and photos of Parker's days at Disney.
Tickets and memberships are available at the museum website: http://disney.go.com/disneyatoz/familymuseum/index.html
My wife and I attended the REEL LOCAL event with Jan Wahl at the museum on Valentine's Day and really enjoyed it. Jan Wahl is a local "celebrity" in the SF Bay Area and it appears the locals either love her or hate her.
We met Jeff Kurtti and his family on the Disney Magic's last Panama Canal Cruise. He has written over 50 books, including several Disney-related books, and co-produced the documentary "The Boys" about the Sherman Brothers. He also helped to design the Walt Disney Family Museum. He was at the museum on August 21 to host the Tommy Kirk event (Tommy Kirk was in Old Yeller, The Swiss Family Robinson, The Shaggy Dog, etc). and proved to be one of the best interviewers the museum has ever had.
If you have access to the Fall 2010 edition of D23 Magazine with Rapunzel (Tangled) on the cover, there are two articles about Fess Parker you might enjoy.
I have tickets for all of the September events and hope to see some DISers there!
