Golden Horseshoe Review passing...

[Hmbldr]

For those of you who remember, the 2 greats of the long running Golden Horseshoe Review, Betty Taylor and Wally Boag have passed away within just one day of another. I had the privilege of meeting them at an NFFC convention way back when. Fantastic ultimate performers and true Disney Legends.

I never had the pleasure to see them, but I am sure they made many families' trips memorable
May they rest in peace.

Here's a nice remembrance of Wally from Steve Martin - Wally was the first comedian Steve ever saw live - memorized his act even:

He was a wonderful man and contributed so much to Disneyland. Some of his act is captured in the Disney Treasures Disneyland secrets volume . He even helped the very young (11!) Julie Andrews get her start. And he was Walt's favorite comedian. I was very lucky to get to meet him at his house thanks to DizMe.
