Nice interview,Steve. Who you will interview next?
Nothing recorded as yet, some tentative subjects who don't have time right now to sit down.
I'm working on it.

No, Floyd departed Disney a few months prior to Disney's death (December 1966) to form his own company.
He told me that "Jungle Book's" story crew had wrapped things up when he left.

Not a bad call! So basically we have Dick Van Dyke interviewing Regis Philbin -- nice. :)
But seriously, thanks for all the interviews. I enjoyed this one.
Wow. That is what they sound like, now that you mention it!
