Lw5wya Got it! Tnhaks a lot again for helping me out!

cKkag1 I'm imrsepsed! You've managed the almost impossible.

can you tell me why silly sidney, one of my childhood favorites, had, in his brief career, three distinctly different voices (one baby-ish and high pitched, one nasally, and one happy go lucky)? even as a child, i detected them (and liked them) all...thanx!

I like your cartoons, even though I only have Sidney tape. I guess your cartoons are rare. By the way, I think I'm the only 12 years who knows you an the other rare cartoons from other directors. I discovered most rare ones at Toon Tracker and Tonarific. The only reason I know you is because I saw your name credited on Tom and Jerry cartoons, the ones you did in 60s. By the way, do you, like, sell some of tapes containing the cartoons you did?

Hi, Gene. I am a big fan of yours. On your Terrytoon staff list, you also left off animator George Bakes. I worked with George 10 years ago (while in the employ of one of your other ex-employees, Ralph Bakshi). George did some of the best stuff in the picture. Love the book so far.

My name was omitted in the list of Terrytoon staff people at the time of Gene's regime. I sat next to the LISTED "M. Hurley" (Maureen Hurley) where we both began on the very same day, JUNE 11, 1956 as opaaquers...later rising through the ranks as inkers..

I had the honor of personally inking completely, both the entire cinemascope feature, Bob Blechman's "The Juggler of Our Lady" and 'FLEBUS.'

In 1959 Maureen and I married and recently celebrated 42 years of married life...I went on to become an Animator, and I'm still Animating and Directing, having spent all my life working in Feature films, TV specials and serials, but primarily animating Television Commercials, alongside many of the greats in the industry...Shamus Culhane, Bill Tytla, Dick Williams, Jim Tyer, Jack Zander, Art Babbitt and countless others.

I'm proud to say I learned an awful lot in my early days from being in the shadow of a truly talented animation master, Gene Deitch. Thanks, Gene !
