The news is sad but true. Disney magazine has gone to that great publishing company in the sky. I'll miss Dave Smith's column. I'll miss the movie and ride previews. I'll miss getting a new issue in the mail to read.

But most of all I'll miss the look of joy on the faces of my 12 children as I read to them the letters section. Fortunately, we'll still have the arrival of the new issue of New Yorker, to read before sleeptime. So, Georgie, Gladys, Pipeye, Poopeye, Kimiko, Cher II, Stovetop, The Edge, and all the rest of my children will always have joy in the mail.

I do take some comfort in knowing that Disney Magazine is in Heaven now, being delivered personally to Walt Disney's mailbox by Jimi Hendrix.
