Have you ever heard about Randy Pausch and his "Last Lecture"?
He was a professor at the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and he was diagnosed with cancer. After the diagnose, he decided to do a last special lecture about "Achieving His Childhood Dreams". He did this lecture during our time in the US in September 2007.
I post this, because one of his dreams was to become an Imagineer and he really achieved it and worked for WDI for half a year. He is a professor for virtual reality and at WDI he was involved in such a project. In this lecture he also talked about his time at WDI.
He died in July 2008.
