Hello Jesus, I just wanted to say hey to you primo I know we haven't meet yet. I was reading some of your poem's, you really are talented and hopefully I can go see you real soon. I can't wait for you to meet the newest member to the Andrades family. From: Karla Aguirre- Aarons wife...lol
I wasn't sure if I would hear back from you a lot of years have past. I agree a lot of memories have come floating back:) I do agree with building a new facility in CT would raise taxes dramatically...hopefully I will not be in the state when that happens...but who knows. How long do u have left in Shirley? How is your Mother? Is she still living in the Wrentham area? Mine is still living in the same house:) I am all too familiar with the CT prison system my husband just was release in Aug of 2013 after a yr and five days now on parole. I as well look forward to hearing more from you and reading more from you as well. Take care of yourself.
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gumby
"Gumby was created by Art Clokey in the early 1950s after finishing film school at University of Southern California. Clokey's first animated film was a 1953 three-minute student film called Gumbasia, a surreal montage of moving and expanding lumps of clay set to music in a parody of Disney's Fantasia. Gumbasia was created in a style Clokey's professor Slavko Vorkapich taught at USC called Kinesthetic Film Principles. Described as "massaging of the eye cells," this technique of camera movements and editing was responsible for much of the Gumby look and feel. Clokey and his wife, Ruth (née Parkander), invented Gumby in the early 1950s at their Covina home shortly after Art finished film school at USC. In 1953 Clokey showed Gumbasia to movie producer Sam Engel, who encouraged him to develop his technique by adding figures. Of the three pilot episodes of Gumby, the first was done by Clokey on his own, and the next two were done for NBC and shown on The Howdy Doody Show to test audience reaction. The second 15-minute pilot, "Gumby Goes to the Moon," was initially rejected by NBC executive Thomas Warren Sarnoff. The third Gumby episode, "Robot Rumpus," made a successful debut on the Howdy Doody Show in August 1957.
"Gumby was an NBC series (a Howdy Doody spin-off) during 1957. Featuring lots of Clokey's puppet films, as well as variety, interviews and games, it was hosted by Robert "Nick" Nicholson from March to June, then by Pinky Lee until November.
"Gumby was inspired by a suggestion from Clokey's wife Ruth that he base his character on the Gingerbread man. Gumby was green because it was Clokey's favorite color. Gumby's legs and feet were made wide for pragmatic reasons: they ensured the clay character would stand up during stop-motion filming. The famous slanted shape of Gumby's head was based on the hair style of Clokey's father Charles Farrington in an old photograph."
