Remembering Rolly Crump

Life Is an Omnimover
It was a most interesting announcement. Last spring, Lyndsey and I were at Disneyland enjoying The Haunted Mansion when everything suddenly stopped. We heard the voice overhead reminding everyone to “face forward” and were told that our tour was “being…
You Wouldn’t Believe!
Shh! I’m sharing a secret this week! Can you keep it? Remember our friend, Jesse Cole, of the Savannah Bananas? Yes, the man who wears a yellow tuxedo for attention, owns seven of them, and even wore one when he…
