I just saw in a video podcast by MiceChat that the Fashions by John window had an interesting addition:

FASHIONS BY JOHN

DRESSMAKING, HEMSTITCHING, & PICOTING

This window honors the original costume department leaders at Walt Disney World: Tom Peirce, Orpha Harryman, Ken Creekmore, Alyja Paskevicius, & John Keehne. This window is also notable for one other reason; it used to include a sixth name!

A former Show Quality Monitor told me that a few years ago he was in charge of building an index of all the windows on Main Street. When researching for this window, he found information on the five names that currently are on the window without much difficulty, but on the sixth, he was coming up short. He eventually wrote to the corporate personnel archives to ask what that person did for the Company. They replied that he had worked for Disney…but only for about four months! The mystery became a bit clearer when it was discovered that this mysterious sixth person had spent those few months working in the sign shop and his job had included painting and touching up (you guessed it!) the windows on Main Street! Apparently, he thought that five names didn’t balance well when they were split three and two, so had inserted his own name to make the pair of windows come out even.
