Dr. Christopher Tremblay is passing through town on a remarkable journey called Walt’s Pilgrimage. It’s an annual trek he leads with his students from the  Lee Honors College at Western Michigan University. They make 40 meaningful stops across the country, each helping tell the story of Walt Disney’s life and legacy. From Walt’s Birthplace in Chicago to his childhood home in Marceline, MO to Disneyland U.S.A. and many more iconic locations. Walt's Pilgrimage is celebrating its 10th anniversary-otherwise known as its "tencennial."Dr. Tremblay joins me this week along with three of his students, Alia Bruey, Janashia Jones and Jack Ziedins.Dr. Tremblay also has a new children’s book called Walt's Birthplace: A Story of Beginnings.
