Some entertainment organizations are so vast that employees don't always recognize people at top. Walt Disney who often was harsh with those who worked for him, had no patience for anyone at Disneyland who was rude to customers or as he put it, guests. One time when an unfriendly security guard prevented he and his wife Lillian from getting on a ride, Walt fired him reasoning man would be unpleasant with others. But if someone was doing their job they had nothing to fear from boss. Once, when Walt was on hand for a demonstration of a new ride a young girl working there chided him for lighting up a cigarette, it wasn't allowed. Disney, who eventually died of lung cancer, asked, "Whose idea was that?" "Walt Disney's." Walt stubbed out cigarette. "That's good enough for me."

Sometimes famous have a difficult time not being center of attention. Once at a party at Louis B. Mayer's house, mogul was expressing his admiration for a female," The red hair, legs, I have never seen such beauty. She walks so regally like a queen". Greer Garson new queen of MGM lot was standing nearby. She walked up to Mayer's circle and said," Why thank you Mr. Mayer." It turned out LB was talking about his new horse.

While that might have sounded like fun, one was barefoot, trying to keep clothes clean, holding one's shoes up in air, stepping lightly, not knowing what one would be stepping on next. Hopefully, no one would slip and fall into water. And, on top of that, women still wore dresses in those days. So, mom carried lighter little one while trying to keep her dress out of water. It was hard work for all.

We also had to make sure to stay in a straight path, so as not to get sucked into creek. Of course, we wouldn't dare cross little wooden bridge, on path before barn, until Dad assured us as to where bridge was located. A miss step could mean creek, of course.
