Sean, 
So glad you remember it! That was actually the project
that put me OUT of puppet building for a few years. I
remember putting tremendous work into it for a
relatively small amount of money, which ultimately
just covered the hard costs. After the puppet shipped,
I heard nothing about it except how nice the wooden
shipping box was. Two years later I received an
inquiry about it, since a servo needed to be replaced.
At that time I asked them, and they said it was the
first one in all that time, with I don't know how many
children using it every day. So I felt a bit better
after that. Did it work well when you saw it?

Thanks 

Greg
