Bruce Gordon Passes Away

Quote:
Bruce Gordon, a Disneyologist, Imagineer and author has passed on at the way too early age of 54. If you've never read his books "The Nickel Tour" or "Walt's Time", I highly recommend them for every Disney Geek. Blue Sky Disney wishes his family well during this sad time.

The stars in the sky just got a bit dimmer today...

Longtime Imagineer and author Bruce Gordon has passed away. Gordon is best known to Disney fans for his books including The Nickel Tour and Walt's Time and for his performances at NFFC Conventions with fellow Imagineer and co-author David Mumford (who passed away in 2003).

Re: Bruce Gordon Passes Away

This should be placed in the Disneyland forum so more people see it.

True enough, it has been added.

Re: Bruce Gordon Passes Away

A very sad day for WDI and Disneyland buffs. I have wanted to get a copy of "Disneyland:The Nickel Tour" for the longest time now. But the copies that are still available go for anywhere between $150-$300.
My thoughts and condolences go out to the Gordon family.
