This week's Wordless Wednesday theme is April Calender shot..
With Friday the 13th happening this April and my Tombs series, I found this picture highly appropriate!
Now onto the tombstone:

Uncle Blaine
Rest in Pieces
Disney Legend since 1993, Blaine Gibson specialized in Animation and Imagineering. He created hundreds of Audio-Animatronics, and sculpted all 41 presidents (thru Clinton) for the Hall of Presidents at Walt Disney World. His theme park contributions include work on the Tiki Room, Pirates of the Caribbean, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, Pirates of the Caribbean, and of course, the Haunted Mansion.

Also in 1993, he created the Partners Statue that you see in Disneyland (and replicated at Walt Disney World!)
