Robert Tieman, Dave Smith's right arm at the Disney Archives for 22 years, announced today officially that he would retire by July 30th of this year.

Robert has been a tremendous help and a great friend for many years and I would like to officially wish him a very relaxing retirement.

This being said, Robert plans to remain a very active part of the Disney history community and I have the feeling that we might expect a few more books from him in the future, which I am certain will delight readers of this blog (as well as yours truly).
