I'm a graduate of the Paier School of Art and have been an Art Director and a commercial illustrator since 1981. It all started when my godmother bought me John's drawing set. It's great to see him again!

Thanks so much for your kind comments. I think you will enjoy my dad's webpage, if you haven't seen it. It is most gratifying that he is still remembered so warmly. Polly Gnagy Seymour

What exactly does he use to draw in these shows? Chalk pastels?

Funny how all men's voices sounded the same in 1950's recordings... I think they pronounced things differently.

This is a real gem, Tv has lost that friendly mellow relaxing tone where you can actually learn something-a welcome tonic for the soul.
