I have been offline all weekend with a nasty computer crash. Just faught my way back on today. Had to buy a new computer, old one was smoked. Hoping to save some of my animation, I have all but 2 scenes backed up. Just got to my email and am sad to see that we have lost another animation legend.

DEAR LARRY,

you may want to make a mention of this on the ASIFA Blogg.

ASIFA/Hollywood learned this week of the death of animator DEREK LAMB. He was 68. Since the 1960's Derek was a mainstay of ASIFA Canada and the most active member of the National Filmboard since Norman McClaren. He won awards including two oscars for his short films Every Child, Special Delivery, Why Me? and Lady Fishburnes Guide to Good Manners. Many will remember his credits for the PBS series MYSTERY! where he brought to life the quirky style of cartoonist Edward Gorey. He had a long battle with cancer and died surrounded by family and friends.

Thanks- Tom
