Marjorie
Elizabeth Ralston of Honolulu was the first voice of Minnie Mouse Rick Ralston remembers
hearing his mom say in a high falsetto voice, “Hiya Mickey!” She died July 22,
1998 in Queen’s Hospital from osteoporosis
complications at age 86. “She was always very shy about it,” said Rick
Ralston, recalling his mother’s Minnie Mouse beginnings. Her love of art inspired Ralston to begin
painting shirts, which evolved into Crazy Shirts Inc., one of the most
successful T-shirt companies in Hawaii. Fresh out of high school in Los
Angeles, Marjorie Ralston took a portfolio of her sketches to unknown animator
Walt Disney in 1928 and became hired as
his 13th employee. Called an inker, she colored in the illustrator’s shapes in an old Los
Angeles garage that served as the first
Disney studio. “I’m not sure we ever thought of it as an art form back there in
the garage on Hyperion Boulevard,”
Marjorie Ralston said in a 1971
interview with the Star-Bulletin. “We were the beginning. The animators,
the artists, an office girl and Walt
Disney. The rest of us idolized him.” As Disney walked around her desk one day
talking like Mickey Mouse, she answered
back like Minnie and became recruited to
speak for the demure mouse. She only did one cartoon as Minnie and then begged out of it because of her
shyness, Rick Ralston said. But she stayed on as an inker for almost 13 years
before retiring to raise her two sons in L.A. People continued to ask her to
talk like Minnie Mouse, but she bashfully declined saying, “I get stage
fright.” But now and then she would talk like Minnie for her sons. Rick Ralston
remembers growing up surrounded by Pinocchio cartoon cells on the walls of his
bedroom. They were castaways from his mother’s job. “We used to laugh when we
realized many years later, Mom could
have brought home boxes of those Disney cartoon cells. Little did anyone
know they’d be worth $1,000 each. We could have been set for life,” Ralston said. Times for the
Ralstons weren’t all cartoons. Marjorie and Bradford Ralston divorced when Rick
and his brother, Bob, were boys. Their
mother struggled to raise them herself, working then as a licensed
practical nurse. Stretched too thinly, Marjorie Ralston had a breakdown, Rick Ralston recalled. Neighbors
contacted the Salvation Army to send food baskets to their house. Ralston came to Hawaii in 1962 and began
painting T-shirts. He began Crazy
Shirts in 1964, and his mother came to Hawaii in 1968. Bob Ralston, Rick’s brother, played with the
Lawrence Welk band and enjoyed success as a musician. In honor of his mother’s roots, Ralston added Minnie, Mickey and
Donald Duck’s original 1933 versions to his shirt designs in 1973. He presented the first Minnie Mouse shirt off
the assembly line to his mom. In
Hawaii, Marjorie Ralston spoke out on various issues through the years in
letters to the editor of Honolulu newspapers. She supported the old Waikiki
historic landmarks and opposed unchecked development in the name of tourism.
Services were private. She is also survived by son Bob; and grandchildren Randy, Diane, Tyler and Paige.

one of the Hawaii Seven convicted of violating the Smith Act who ultimately had
their convictions overturned by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in the 1950s. The
Reineckes were both fired from their public school teaching jobs in 1948, after
having been suspended in 1947, because they were accused of Communist leanings.
Represented by labor attorneys Harriet Bouslog and Myer Symonds, they
eventually won a settlement from the state in 1978 when Bouslog secured a
formal apology and $250,000 from the Legislature. The Reineckes were awarded
the third American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii Allan F. Saunders award in
1976. Days before the award, the Board of Education voted to recommend that the
Reineckes be exonerated. This in effect revoked the 1948 termination ruling by
the then commissioners of education. Aiko Reinecke is survived by brother Hero
