Historian vs History Teacher I make a distinction between Animation Historian and Animation History Teacher. A Historian is someone like Jerry Beck, John Canemaker, Tom Sito, someone with firsthand knowledge gained through research and a lot of talking to the people that made the history.

A teacher of the history of animaiton, if the student is lucky, is someone who has read a lot of books about that history by those historians.

It has long been my goal to make that trip from book learning to firsthand knowledge in the field of animation, from history teacher to historian. That is just one of the reasons that I never miss the Afternoon of Remembrance.
There is no where or when else where you can find so many generations of animation all willing to talk about the past. Don`t miss this very special envent.
