I'm not positive, but I believe he's referring to the "Visible Man". Those have been around for a long time. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/aw3ux" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/aw3ux</a> But, if as a youngster Rod really asked for "The Invisible Man", you should leave it that way in the autobiography.

Originally Posted By JohnS1 I will have to pass this on to my sister, Sue, who started working at Coke Corner the same year as Rod did.

Sorry to hear that another Disney icon has left the scene. In Rod's case, I can hardly blame him.
