about Voyager Expanded Books

[Jeff Reynolds]

Colin,

Murph! thanks could not remember his name. It was the A World Alive  
project we were doing with him, it was sea studio's film and i was  
helping him pull all the parts together at the studio.. Glad to hear  
hes a producer now with scholastic!

Sorry, i got it confused with another media guy we were working with  
in Venice beach. I think thats why bob liked Sea Studios digs, you  
just had to go out the side door to be over the water, but you oouldnt  
get to it to play!  it was a 20' drop to the water for us and the  
studio cat was the only one who did that when he missed diving for sea  
gulls and i would have to climb down to fish him off the rocks...  
Santa Monica had a bit warmer weather and water than we did though.

cheers,

jeff
