July 9--Disney park artist Sam McKim dies

Sam McKim, an artist who drew the first souvenir maps of Disneyland in 1954 and the preliminary sketches for many Disney theme park rides, has died. He was 79. McKim was one of the first park designers who became known as 'Imagineers.' He died of heart failure, The Walt Disney Co. said. McKim joined Disney in 1954 and his sketches inspired the designers of attractions, shops and restaurants for the original Disneyland. He produced sketches of all four attractions Disney built for the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. His artwork contributed to the story development of several pavilions at Epcot at Walt Disney World in Florida.
