One of Colonel Sidney Mashbir’s good friends was Marine Lt. Colonel Kelvin Bailey. When Kelvin Bailey retired from the military, he became corporate pilot for Walt Disney. This 1948 Photo was taken in Walt Disney’s office in Burbank, California. Standing with Walt (he didn’t like being called Mr. Disney) is Kelvin Bailey. They are accompanied by Kelvin’s wife Gwen, who was something of a starlet in her day.
The author of this blog post was gifted this photo by Colonel Robert F. Warren, who was a mutual friend of Colonel Sidney Mashbir and Colonel Kelvin Bailey.
