| Affectionately known across the country as "Mr. Dressup", he has been entertaining young people in a gentle, caring fashion for three decades, refusing to succumb to a more aggressive, commercialized format. Believing that education linked with entertainment enhances the cognitive learning process, he encouraged and stimulated the imagination of pre-school children in thousands of original television programs. |
| Deceased on September 18, 2001.
