Jeff, I have a question to ask you off the boards. Could you email me. Eric and Melissa both have my address. Thanks

That should read, “Could you email me?” Typo. My bad.

Great story, Jeff. I’m sure Mr Jones would be proud of your creative work today.

I went to the World Animation Celebration at Pasadena back in 97. I missed the chance to meet the great Chuck because he was feeling ill by the time and couln’t attend the opening night. I envy you Jeff, but your story is inspiring.
By the way, I was visiting from Puerto Rico, so you can imagine my frustration.

Wow. I’m in awe. I have a mental list of the funniest things I’ve ever seen or heard, and Chuck owns two of the top three spots: one, for “Duck Amuck” and two, for his story about Uncle Lynn and his magnificent liver, from his autobiography.

Oh My God!! What an honor!! I could dream of meeting all of my idols from the golden age of animation (Both animators and voice actors as well as Charles Shculz who was a nother major influence on me). But alas I never had the chance or opportunities to meet any of these people. Great story. What an experience. I’m sure that you will Chuck proud.

That's an amazing story, Jeff. I remember how excited Kyle was when he received a *signed* issue of "Chuck Amuck" for Christmas one year. He was beside himself!! Too bad Kyle is a generation behind actually getting to meet the great Chuck Jones.
Kyle is VERY fortunate to work with YOU on his very own cartoon!
Thanks for sharing this special experience!

Jeff, as I’ve been getting to know you better the past couple of years, your passion for your work, your family, and your life comes through in every conversation. It’s inspiring and the real truth in your art. Thanks bud.
