Herbert Klynn Donation:
Mini biography
As an animation producer, Mr. Klynn helped create several award winning cartoon shorts: "Mr. Magoo", "Gerald McBoing-Boing", "Madeline and Christopher Crumpet". Also worked as an animation director for the U.S. Army Signal Corps motion picture unit in Los Angeles during World War II. Also known as a graphic designer, Mr. Klynn created the opening for the "I Spy" TV Series. Founded Format Productions in 1959, which created more than 1, 000 productions for over 23 years.
I am late in posting today because I have been working the phones in my capacity as Director of the ASIFA Animation Rescue Team, putting together the last move of a donation from the children of Herb Klynn.
I have been dealing with Gail Stindler, daughter of Herb Klynn, a very pleasant lady and a follow educator. Thank you Gail. I want to also publicly thank Linda Lee, Jon Reeves, and Angelo di Nallo for volunteering to lug paintings. You are the people that are always there. Always willing to go out of your way for the love of animation and the people who made the history of animation.
After putting together one of these rescue missions I feel good about myself, like I have done something important for this field that I love so much. Accomplished something with my few small phone calls and asking time and favors from my friends in animation. I have a feeling that Linda, Jon and Angelo feel the same way because they keep volunteering their time and equipment. Bless you. ¶ 11:42 AM
