My uncle sat down with Walt Disney and his people in the sixties. Uncle gifted 3,000 acres of cheap, middle-of-nowhere land to Disney, and Disney gifted stock to my uncle in return. With the government’s blessing, the company avoided taxation because of the economic subscribe to stimulation Disney would bring, and in that vray about 28,000 acres of palmetto brush, cattle land, and swamp became Disney World and its add-ons. Witness Disney opened a satellite production facility in Florida’s Lake Buena Vista in the summer of for40%off 1988. The studio did ink and paint support for The Little Mermaid. I’d been born a few months earlier, only 15 miles away. There’s more, but what I think happened is that a convergence of currents generated a whirlpool, and I got sucked down its Charybdian throat.

Tak for henvendelsen om at "bade havfruen i blåt lys" i et par timer den 14. november 2011. Det er ok fra vores side, idet det er midlertidigt og af kort varighed, og så længe I ikke berører selve havfruen og det er vores driftspartner Eltel Networks, som monterer lys/filtre, som du selv beskriver det. Jeg ønsker jer en god Verdensdiabetesdag.

Ved vi har været i kontakt med dig før angående denne slags projekter og håber derfor du kan hjælpe mig. Hvert år d. 14 november afholdes Verdensdiabetesdagen (WDD) i samarbejde med IDF (International Diabetes Federation - se hjemmeside her http://www.idf.ora/j I den forbindelse oplyser vi forskellige bygninger og monumenter verden over i blåt lys, for at skabe opmærksomhed omkring diabetes. Vi ville derfor høre om der er mulighed for, at få tilladelse til at oplyse Den Lille Havfrue i blåt lys et par timer om aftenen d. 14 november? Vi samarbejder med El-tel Networks, som har forestået denne typer belysning før f.eks. af Københavns Rådhus. Du må endelig gerne kontakte mig hvis du har spørgsmål eller andet. Ser frem til at høre fra dig.
