Thanks for another great story Mr. Norman. You certanly have gotten around in the Animation Business, I am always surprised with how interesting and varied the animation business is

I've been to Jamaica and it is amazing, too bad you couldn't get a studio set up down there, but then the problem would have been getting people to show up :)

Great article :) Always love your stories. Interesting to hear that you tried to set up a Jamaican animation studio, too bad it didn't work out. But I still think, even though the studio wasn't set up, that you and your business partner will have a staying effect in the country, because of the animation lessons and all.

Wonderful article, Mr. Norman! I'm wondering if any work got done with those young Jamaican artists, since we see these pictures of them working. From what you wrote, it sounds like you had a fun & interesting experience!

Hey Floyd. You mention of Billy Barty was a major flash back for me. As you probably know, Billy Barty was on many episodes of the "Wild, Wild West." Many of those episodes were written by Ken Colb, who happens to be a long time family friend. My sisters and I sometimes asked Ken what James T. West was gonna be doing the following week on TV. Thanks for the memory.
