A sad time for Mickey . . .


I know what
it is like to
not have
a voice!!



Voice of Mickey Mouse dies at 62

Wayne Allwine began working at The Walt Disney Co in 1966
The American actor who was the voice of Mickey Mouse for 32 years has died at the age of 62.
Wayne Allwine had worked at The Walt Disney Co since 1966, starting in the mailroom before he became the voice of the famous cartoon mouse in 1977.
The Walt Disney Co said Allwine died of complications from diabetes, with his wife, an actress who was the voice of Minnie Mouse, by his side.
His voice can still be heard at Disney theme parks around the world.

....Kermit eventually returned to you.....maybe Mickey's voice will return!!!

Dad's birthday was great...Mom and I wanted to do a posting in honor of Dad on his birthday but you know he doesn't want to be the center of attention....we had a fun day in Frankenmuth...one of our favorite Michigan towns!!!
