Legendary Imagineer Marty Sklar Retiring

A year ago this month we had the opportunity to see famed Disney Imagineer Marty Sklar in person at a Disneyland tribute to Julie Andrews:


Marty, who has served as "Imagineering Ambassador" for the past three years, has announced that he is retiring this summer after over half a century with the Disney company.

In a letter to his fellow Imagineers (click title of post for the text) he announced that he will retire effective July 17, 2009. That date, as Disney fans know, is Disneyland's 54th anniversary.
