Preservation Hero
By Ron Barbagallo - at least as early as February 23, 2006 upward to present day.

For at least the last four years, I have sent out an email to a very select group of executives at Disney showcasing my current efforts primarily preserving and occasionally partially restoring animation art. As of July 19, 2010, I decided to post the email as a web page on this site. To see the most recent example of my ongoing efforts in Animation Art Conservation, please check this link:

During his lifetime, others extrapolated from his body of work and now in his passing are finding a way to acknowledge his generosity and contribution.
