The Museum of Broadcast Communications

Yeah! Museum of Broadcast Communications Receives $500,000 Donation from Disney "The donation will support the development of the new Museum of Broadcast Communications in downtown Chicago, scheduled to open in 2006."

Disney's support will ensure that the new MBC is a cultural destination and educational resource for Chicago's students."

 I was told Walt Disney missed his steamboat, Willie, to Governors Island in NYC's harbor and was found AWOL held there in the hoosegow (as was Robert E. Lee's son, that is once held in the NY harbor).

Robert E. Lee, once commandant of West Point Academy, also lived in the Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn facility, (a few years ago, a $25 million ENRON scandal there, more recently current President Bush fired the head of the U.S. Army for being on the board of ENRON, (?) he ought to fire himself for a (four years ago) non-compliance with the OMB over the "energy meeting," and recently having real Russian criminals at his "prayer-meetings" in the NY Times, 2/6/05, my godmother worked in the VA hospital next door) in a wooden house, still there just off the Parade Field. He also brought John Brown to trial for the raid on Harpers Ferry, W. Va., I think, there is an eyewitness account of the Browns's capture and trial, (also see: http://www.nps.gov/hafe/home.htm, I was there when Pope John Paul I died years ago.)

In the "Golden Triangle Regional Airport" in Mississippi there was a document exhibit, one, a letter restoring Robert E. Lee's citizenship. One Fourth of July tour I was to Fort Carroll, (in the Baltimore Harbor, MD) abandoned, once erroneously thought could be used as a casino, but inside "city limits" (therefore would be illegal) near the Francis Scott Key Bridge, (the NPS lost his house, may never be forgiven) an artificial island, built with a Robert E. Lee designed steam pile driver it's said, though the steam pile-driver was invented in England according to history.

I read Mr. Disney was an ambulance driver in WWI like Ernest Hemingway? Then Captain Ulysses S. Grant, the future General and President once served on Governors Island.

I finally saw "Finding Nemo" today on Encore. What a charming story. Then I saw "K-19: the Widowmaker" too, very good, with Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson.
