As time went on, it became clear to both T.M.and the Dr. Heller that the T. M. was not doing well in school.


One day, Dr. Heller called T. M. into his office and said, "T. M., you love your music and you do it so well. Get the hell out of the College and follow your music." And that is just what T. M. did.

Dr. Heller also moved on with his life, finding the smartest and most wonderful woman in the world. He asked Rachael to become his partner for life and she consented. They were married and then began Richard and Rachael's rise to fame and happiness.


Richard and Rachael, began to explore the joys of both their professional and personal lives, writing books and traveling throughout the world Scuba diving, white water rafting and generally having fun.


One of the pleasures in life that was very important to Rachael and Richard was something they called, The Grand Mouseketour - every year, travels to every Disney Park in the world. Just to fill you in, there are two in France, two in Japan, two in California, four in Florida, and Disney's newest Park in Hong Kong.

One day Richard called T. M. and said, "You know T. M., we have not seen one another for thirty-three years. Don't you think that it is about time that we get together? Why don't you and Taka should meet us a Disney World."
And so they did.



They came together for a wonderful four days of sharing good food, exciting attractions like the Hollywood Tower Hotel Twilight Zone of Terror at the Disney Studios, Test Track at EPCOT, and just to be together after thirty-three years of physical but not spiritual separation.
