A bit of sad news from earlier this week was the fact that Imagineer Bruce Gordon has passed away.
Who? You say?
Apart from being a principle designer on Splash Mountain, Bruce was the author of lots of great books about the theme parks, including the official book about Disneyland released during the 50th Anniversary celebrations "Disneyland: Then, Now and Forever" and "The Art of Disneyland" - two of my favourite books.
There is a good article about Bruce on the LA Times website:
