In 2016, I got to see the Santa Claus head from the Bell Telephone 'Twas the night Before Christmas' Marionette short, Produced by Mabel Beaton! This was in Dallas in my late friend Gary Busk's Amazing collection 🎅 #santaclaus #belltelephone #mabelbeatonmarionettes

Howdy Doody

When I see Howdy now I think of my late friend Rhoda Mann, who was Howdy's original puppeteer and my late friend Gary Busk, who owned the Happy Days Howdy!

Found my copy of Hansel and Gretel

Found out my friend Gary Busk passed away.  He had a wonderful collection on this film and shared the Smokey Animagic figure with us.  He will be missed!

My pal Gary Busk shared his vast Marionette collection with me on my Dallas trip! I took over 100 pictures...

Here is the Howdy puppet that was made for one of my favorite 2nd season episodes of HAPPY DAYS!  C. 2016 Rick Goldschmidt
