A tip of the hat to the folks behind Bugs' most memorable appearances, too: Directors Friz Freleng, Robert McKimson, and Chuck Jones, and actor Mel Blanc.

Many tense moments as we worked the TV rabbit ears trying to bring the station in at least half way clear prior to show time. Only a few people know about Crusader Rabbit (he wasn't on national TV), but he was truly cool and what a role model.

I'm not sure how old I was. It was probably late 40s and early 50s. We had to get the show out of Toledo Ohio which was out of our regular viewing area, but if we tweaked the rabbit ears just right on the TV we could see what was happening. Even with the poor picture quality it one of our favorite shows.

on many occasions. She and my father were both on the Motion Picture Academy's documentary screening committee.

Once she did her Rocket J. Squirrel voice for me (to my obvious delight). She also did Natasha (of Boris and Natasha), Nell Fenwick, and a much of others.

Very nice woman. Made Nixon's "enemies list," which endeared her to me even more.

Both tie for first place with me.

But I credit Jiminy Cricket for getting me through childhood without doing something too foolish or reckless. Still remember his song.

"I'm no fool, no siree
I'm going to live to be a hundred and three
I play safe for you and me
'Cause I'm no fool."

He never abandoned his friends. But also I have to add Bullwinkle, Rocky, Bugs Bunny and that American War Hero, Snoopy.
