President Emeritus Sito informs us:
"On Saturday Feb 20th at noon, the animation community in LA will come together at the Animation Guild in Burbank (1105 N. Hollywood Way) for the annual Afternoon of Remembrance.
It's a non-denominational service where we remember, laugh, cry, and share stories, as we say one more goodbye to all our friends who left us in 2015." ...
The list of the departed is long. Sadly, it usually is.

Makes me try ever harder to put as much into this life as possible and remain magnanimous like so many have been with me. It's a fine tribute and, from without, many people do not realize how loving the animation arts community really is.
