Wow, that's sad. 54 is so young...

I hope he is getting the 50 cent tour from Walt right now. RIP

Wow! That's a real downer. I ran into Bruce a couple of times, and I got to know his "Nickel Tour" co-author David Mumford, who also left us quite early. These two contributed so much to the public knowledge of and appreciation for Disneyland.

Just loved the Nickel Tour book - what a loss.

Bah!

Hmm, the article linked to says nothing more about him but that he authored The Nickel Tour and other books.

Does anyone know what kind of work he did for Imagineering? I've never heard of him, and his passing --- though too late of course --- makes me curious what he accomplished during his lifetime.
