<p>He&#39;s the last living member of the legendary <em>Yogi Bear</em> cartoons.&nbsp; He&#39;s an accomplished actor whose career has spanned nearly 60 years.&nbsp; He&#39;s a motivational speaker who rather than preparing a script, speaks from his heart and believes without a doubt each word spoken.&nbsp; But that&#39;s merely the outer surface of a man who is nothing less than the epitome of the word gentleman.</p><p>Jimmy Weldon began his colorful life in Dale, Texas in 1923.&nbsp; The youngest of three children, Jimmy had to carve a niche to set himself apart from his two star athlete older brothers.&nbsp; He found his outlet in the entertainment industry, but not without a bit of horror tossed in for good measure.&nbsp; His first taste of the silver screen was at the ripe old age of seven, when he saw his first film on Halloween and was immediately convinced that he&#39;d witnessed murder!&nbsp;</p><p>While spending his teenage years working as a paper boy, Jimmy was inspired by R. M. John, who strolled through the office one day talking exactly like &#39;Donald Duck.&#39;&nbsp; Little did anyone know just how profound an affect those few moments would be.&nbsp; Jimmy would practice his &#39;Donald Duck&#39; every chance he got, even to the point of making those around him wish he would go away.&nbsp; They changed their minds when Jimmy won a radio contest after singing a rendition of 'Three Little Ducks' as none other than &#39;Donald.&#39;</p><p>Throughout the years, Jimmy continued to follow his dream and found his way to Hollywood.&nbsp; In 1990, he put pen to paper and began writing his memoirs, aptly named, <em>Go Get &#39;Em Tiger</em>.&nbsp; Proving once again that his respect for others far outweighs his personal life, after jotting down a story about an incident in Algebra class, he picked up the phone to call his teacher just to say thank you and to tell him that he was loved.&nbsp; He shares stories that serve to inspire and empower people, and at the same time provide entertainment and meaning.&nbsp; That&#39;s just Jimmy&#39;s way.</p><p>His most famous characters are &#39;Yakky Doodle&#39; and &#39;Webster Webfoot,&#39; but as wonderful as those two characters are, they&#39;ll never be able to match the character of the man who brought them and so many others to life.&nbsp; His incredible gift for character voices is far more than a talent to show off when appearing at a convention or giving one of his inspiration-filled speeches; it&#39;s a way for Jimmy to share his contagious enthusiasm with people, and more importantly, it&#39;s a chance for others to have a glimpse into the soul of a man whose sole purpose in life is to provide others with the spirit and determination to realize their dreams, just as he has over the course of his lifetime.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
