My Story
Received the following email from Yoshi Tanaka on January 29, 2011:
I was a friend of Lee Congiardo who is one of your classmates. He past away on the 9th of July, 1994, the result of a car accident. Yes, he was so young for leaving this world. I was pretty new friend for him, but this is his information: Early years: He worked at Disney. Mid 80s - 90s: He worked at Landmark Entertainment as Art Director. He was huge collector of Disney items. When I visited his house, I saw an original poster of Pirate of the Caribbean (Orland Disney Land). He loved Japan, and he really wanted to have a job for living in Japan. My memory of him, I met him in 1988, Tokyo. I could not speak any English. He taught me the language for two years. I am now living in the United States, and teaching Japanese at a college. Fina Lee Congiardo was great person, kind, funny, sweet, and very smart. Sorry for bringing not good news, but I would like to let you and your classmates know. Yoshi Tanaka Yoshi also sent us this 1994 picture of Lee Also found a website that mentions Lee worked on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad for Disney. |
