Graham Kislingbury

Dec. 15, 1966, was a sad day for millions of us who grew up watching Disney movies and “The Wonderful World of Color” on Sunday nights. Walt Disney died that morning at age 65, and the news quickly spread at my school.

I’ve been thinking a lot this week about my dad, also named Graham. Today, he would have turned 100, and he got nearly three-quarters of the way to the century mark. Dad died of a heart attack in May 1984, a few months shy of his 75th birthday.
