I do hope it continues on...

    Leon was the bubbliest and most outgoing person I know! His boundles enthusiasm for Disneyland and Walt Disney are legendary. About a month ago I walked with him, Jack and Ed Squair of the Disney Studios through Disneyland, we enjoyed a meal at River Belle Terrace, and went through Pirates and Mansion. It was his last trip there.
    It is too early to ask Jack about the future of The "E" Ticket Magazine. If you wish to extend your condolences to Leon's familly, please use the email on The-e-ticket.com website or the fax or PO box. Fax would be especially good.
