This year the memorial is at

The Animation Guild, 1105 N. Hollywood Way in Burbank. Feb 23rd Sunday.

We'll have light refreshments starting at noon, then the speakers begin at 1:00PM.

It's an informative and interesting event that is free to all. In past years Chuck Jones came to speak about Friz Freleng, and Ollie Johnston spoke about Marc Davis. If you'd like to speak on behalf of one of your friends, please let me know.

See you there.
