"Stingray", and "Rupert the Bear" has passed away in England. He was a co-founder of both AP Films (which produced the "Supermarionation" films) and his later company, Cinemation. I've posted some biographical information and links to more info about his life and career at http://puppetvision.blogspot.com/2006/04/in-memory-john-read-1920-2006.html - Andrew -- The PuppetVision Blog "The web's best source for puppet film and video goodness, delivered fresh to your computer each day." http://puppetvision.blogspot.com Machin-X "...where pixels meet puppets" http://machin-x.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-lists.driftline.org Admin interface: http://lists.driftline.org/listinfo.cgi/puptcrit-driftline.org Archives: http://www.driftline.org
