	Jim Korkis : The Ub Iwerks Story -- Part II
		Ub never complained not necessarily because he was a good sport but because he seemed to have difficult expressing emotion and it would sometimes bubble up in a temper to rival Walt's.
		Ub's rehiring was done by Ben Sharpsteen and Walt pointedly did not want to know the details even though it was highly unusual for the Disney Studio to rehire someone who left to become a competitor.
		Ub was a quiet and unassuming man who many felt could have followed the same path as Walt but their paths diverged yet eerily remained parallel and now decades later, thanks to his granddaughter's book and film documentary, Disney's secret genius is beginning to receive some belated recognition for his many accomplishments.
