Walt Disney's Carolwood Barn originally sat in Walt Disney's backyard in Holmby Hills, amongst his beloved Carolwood Pacific Railroad layout (Carolwood was the name of the street on which the house was located). After the death of Walt's widow Lillian in 1997, the Disney family sold the Carolwood property. The barn was removed and placed in the care of the Los Angeles Live Steamers and the Carolwo

od Pacific Historical Society. The barn is now a museum dedicated to Walt's love of trains and model railroading. The exhibits chronicle how trains influenced many aspects of Walt's life, including the creation of Disneyland Park.

We have all lost a dear friend, Margaret Kerry, who has passed away at 97. She was a special friend to Walt's Barn, having made many appearances over the years. In fact, she eventually became a member of our volunteers.

We have reached back into our archive to present an album of photos from her first appearance with us, on Sunday, February 17, 2002. It was a fun day, and a full day. Carolwood Society founder Michael Broggie welcomed Margaret. She read excerpts from the original Peter Pan (something she did often at early live events). There were tributes from Terri Hardin and the Walt Disney Archives.

Inside the barn a special display of Tinker Bell memorabilia had been set up, provided by a local collector, Danny Gossett. Margaret spent most of that afternoon greeting guests and signing autographs.

Tonight we will all be looking to that second star to the right, as we remember our friend Margaret Kerry with fondness, fun, and pixie dust.

The Carolwood Foundation and Walt's Barn volunteers join in sending sincere condolences to our friend and fellow volunteer Margaret Kerry on the passing of her husband, Robert Boeke. We were honored to host them in February, 2020 just before Margaret moved permanently to the east coast. Robert and Margaret joined all the volunteers for a group portrait in front of the barn, which we are sharing here today.
