Retirement News from the Disney Archives

I received the following message today, from my friend Robert Tieman of the Walt Disney Archives

"Hi Everybody,

I want to let everyone know that I have decided to retire from Disney after 22-plus years. My last day is still a way off -- the 30th of July -- but the countdown has begun.

It sounds like a cliche, but it’s true that the decision to leave is filled with mixed feelings. So many people to miss. So many memories to take with me.

I will still be in Los Angeles for the near future, and with my Retiree ID card, you will see me here for lunch so often that many people will think I’ve never left. I also have a few new book ideas rattling around in my head, so I might even be back here doing research!

Needless to say, it’s been a pleasure working with all of you.

Robert."


Robert has been extremely helpful to me over the course of many, many years. He has helped identify dozens of insignia designs for me. As well, he has provided me with background information and creation dates for many designs, and he has answered many general questions.

Thanks very much Robert, for all of your help!

I wish you the very best!

David
