CHUCK BOYAJIAN
Although his Disneyland Park window states, ‘’We keep your Castle Shining’’ Chuck Boyajian was known for keeping entire Disney parks sparkling clean. He was hired by Walt in 1955 as the first manager of Custodial Operations in Disneyland Park. Believing that ‘’cleanliness breeds cleanliness’’ he strove to make Walt’s vision of having the cleanest park in the world a reality. Chuck later assisted with the opening of Walt Disney World resort. When a nervous new sweeper once asked for guidance, Chuck replied ‘’How spic do I want the area? Well, I’ll tell you, son. No less than span! ’’
