IIRC wasnt it Hans Conreid who voiced him for that little show(of the True-Life clips)?<BR/><BR/>Simple as it was, that animatronic was so well done. <BR/> I once saw a lone kid, about 6 or so, transfixed, by himself, sitting on the benches watching the Owl's spiel; he raised his hand to ask a question, keeping it up for a good while before disappointedly lowering it. Believing in the illusion like that!

There are lots of middle school kids (and their parents) that would recognize him and his classroom from those tapes. The theme song from that series is still etched into my brain.action-packedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146450569239949033noreply@blogger.com
