BURL IVES

Speaking of RUDOLPH, my friend Tom made a special trip to visit Burl's grave. Burl was from Illinois. Burl wrote the forward to my book THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO and I changed the pictures on his page for the newest edition of the book. I have become very good friends with his widow Dorothy over the years and really enjoy everything he did in his career (As does my friend Tom). Burl even starred with James Dean in EAST OF EDEN. He appeared in several things for RANKIN/BASS including THE DAYDREAMER, THE BERMUDA DEPTHS and THE FIRST EASTER RABBIT.
