The "dreaming tree" that inspired Walt Disney as a child has sadly collapsed in Marceline, MO after a strong windstorm. The tree had been a tourist attraction in the small city, as thousands trekked to the town to see the sights that had inspired Mr. Disney as a child.
While this very special tree may no longer be alive, the dreams that it inspired will always be with us.
