I have seen that. I have been in his closet. He was just a great host. When you went to the house, he would take you out and get candies and cookies at his train station, where he has the train at Neverland. He would walk around the house with you, and it was full of museum pieces and Grammy awards, and all types of awards that he had from all over the world. Michael Eisner gave him the check Walt Disney signed for purchasing the land for Disneyland. That was really one of Michael's most favorite places in the world to go -- to spend as much time as he could at the park." If there is a heaven, it will be a fun place with Walt and Michael around.
