I am looking back on many interviews with my late friend Arthur Rankin, Jr..  This was an introduction for Rankin/Bass' Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer I asked him to do, which he graciously obliged.  He brought my first book in hardcover for support and is seen paging through it in the open.   Wonderful memories for me of a dear friend.  #arthurrankinjr #rudolphtherednosedreindeer #interviews #fun

This newspaper headline is very similar to the ones at the beginning of Rudolph!

Signing at the Hallmark in Orland Hills, IL today 🎁

It was amazing to listen to the Videocraft Demos for Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer tonight!

 I heard parts of Larry D. Mann's performances of the songs that Burl would eventually sing in the classic Rankin/Bass special, but now I have all of the demos, thanks to sound engineer Bill Giles (who originally recorded everything).   Wonderful stuff!   Maybe we can do a deluxe CD for the 60th!
