Q: What is your favorite exhibit at The Reagan Library: Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives? Having viewed Walt’s formal office from The Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, what was the object/area in his office you found most interesting, and why?
Norway, Manteca, California
A: I am always most pleased seeing on display the items that I found for the Archives’ collection, such as the handwritten letter from Ronald Reagan suggesting that a postage stamp be issued to honor Walt Disney. When I inventoried Walt’s offices at the Disney Studio, the one item that impressed me the most was the original script for Steamboat Willie, which he had stashed in his desk drawer.
