Comments: raymond - 2004-06-02 07:32:38 i first met and worked with ted h. in the summer of 1967. he did the voice of the wizard for meredith bixby's 'wizard of oz' and i did the tinman's. i also made the arms, legs, and heart of the tinman and strung him. ted was hilarious yet professional to work with. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-06-02 12:03:18 That's a fun story...thank you raymond. Bixby was, if I remember right, quite a well-known Saline puppeteer whose extensive collection is still housed on display in Saline...? * * * * * * * * * * * * raymond - 2004-06-02 12:45:10 bixby's life-work is kept and displayed in saline. he was a good painter and the marionettes and materials show it. he was also a good engineer so most of the puppets work well. he also was a life-long radio amateur and founded the 1960s radio station which was located in the area of where the oak valley complex of commercial blight now stands. bixby became friends with ted heusel through the radio station. * * * * * * * * * * * * photo-slim - 2004-09-04 21:59:18 slim photo * * * * * * * * * * * * Insest-Visit - 2004-10-03 08:25:31 Visit Insest * * * * * * * * * * * * add your comment: your name: your email: your url: back to the entry - Diaryland
