This is a picture of "Woolie' Reitherman. His real name is Wolfgang.
One of Walt Disney's legendary "Nine Old Men", Woolie was born in Munich Germany, on June 26, 1909. The family immigrated to the United States when he was an infant and he was raised in Sierra Madre, California. He enrolled at Chouinard Art Institute and joined the Disney Studios in 1933.
After a brief tour in World War II, earning a distinguished medal of honor with the U.S. Air Force, Wolfgang returned to the Studios, contributing to over thirty Disney animation films and winning an Academy Award.
Wolfgang Reitherman died on May 22, 1985 and was named a Disney Legend in 1989.
