C.V. Wood became director of Southern California activities for the Stanford Research Institute in 1950. In 1953 SRI's Harrison 'Buzz' Price analyzed ten sites and recommended Anaheim; Wood then joined Disneyland as its first employee and general manager and supervised the land's selection and purchase. Bosley's 'Wood picked the site' compresses the two roles.
