I've just spoken to Richard, and he tells me his contact details are in the
Puppeteers of America directory, so he's quite happy for me to pass on his
details.  He's not online, so you'll have to snail mail to contact him.

Here goes:

Richard Bradshaw
74 Mount Road
Bowral   NSW   2576
Australia

There is a tape of his work available through the P of A lending
audio-visual library (ask a P of A member for details, I don't have them).
It's one of the "Jim Henson Presents" series which was taped in the early
eighties, and if you look really close, you'll see me in the audience
(true!)

We also chatted about this mailing list (I do a write-up on it once a
quarter for the Australian UNIMA Newsletter, and let others know what we've
been chatting about)  Richard mentioned the following:

It's a very late PS to the conversation which happened on this list
regarding the people who were involved with Howdy Doody.  I blush to
confess I've recently cleared some files off my hard drive, so I've lost
the name of the lady who made (not designed) Howdy Doody - and Richard
couldn't remember it off the top of his head.  But he does remember that
she grew up in a suburb of Sydney - yet another Aussie makes her mark in
the world of puppetry!

Hope this info is useful.  By the way, Richard's about to go away on tour
for a month or so, so don't expect a reply straight away, but give it a go
anyway!

Cheers, Janet
