Facebook suggested this article about a list of foods I shouldn't order brcause they take extra effort for the staff to prepare. The comments echo my response quite well. https://t.co/PlidZC0Wlu

So they finally figured out how to sell crack in a can. Oh my gosh! Hands down the best sugar free fruit soda I've ever had. I'm so happy the guys at Virgil have developed sugar free… https://t.co/FR0sSAZodi

I recommend listening to @DisneyDishPod with @JimHillMedia and @LenTesta to get a fascinating view of Ron's history with The @WaltDisneyCo. In particular, see the Chronological Disneyland Series at https://t.co/8n1k480Cdh.

In 1978 I would turn one years old, The Cat From Outer Space would see its debut and Ron Miller would become CEO of The @WaltDisneyCo. I celebrate the disney of my youth and the fruits of Ron's labors. My article: https://t.co/oRo4I2uC9p

Ron Miller: The Disney CEO You've Never Heard Of.

In 1978 I would turn one years old. It was a momentous year, and not just for me. At the Walt Disney Company The Magic Kindgom in Walt Disney World would mark its seven year anniversary, Pete's Dragon would be nominated for an Oscar, The Cat From Outer Space would see its theatrical debut and the Abominable Snowman (men) would be in introduced to the Matterhorn Bobsleds in Disneyland. Also in 1978, The Walt Disney Co. would see Walt's Son-In-Law, Ron Miller, become CEO of the company.

Ron inherited a monumental task, to hold the rudder of a company still floundering after the passing of it's creator roughly twelve years earlier and attempt to catch trade winds which could bring it back to profitable harbors. To frame the struggle: The last film the Disney Co. could call a hit was The Love Bug released ten years prior to Ron's ascension to chief executive. While the culmination of Miller's work as head of the company may be dubious, it can't be denied that he made changes that would have a lasting impact on the Disney Co. (which are frequently misattributed to Miller's successor).

Losing Ron Miller is losing one of our strongest ties to Walt. It's hard not to be a little affected by seeing this tangible link fade away. I celebrate the era of Ron Miller's Disney Company, the Disney of my youth and the fond nostalgia the fruits of his labors bring.

I recommend learning more about Ron Miller:

The Disney Dish Podcast's Chronological Disneyland Series  - The official press release form Disney - Article from Variety - The Walt Disney Family Museum (created by Ron, his Wife Dianne and Mother-In-Law Lillian) - and of course, Wikipediea

Hey, #utliquor Twitter: my spies at the DABC say they got a shipment of Pappy Van Winkle but it's going fast. Check your local liquor store and move fast if you want the coveted bourbon! #utpol
