FROM THE EMAIL BINS:



Morph 2005 German Stop Motion Online Festival

Just fished this out of my spam bin. I had a piece in this festival last year. I didn`t place but I blamed it on a language barrier so my ego survived. I am not going to be able to have my current piece in shape for this year. But that is festival life, you are either in the show or part of the audience, on the bus or off the bus. I you have some stop motion shorts here is any easy way to get them seen.

Former Student Tracks Me Down:

One of the things about teaching that I like is that if you do a good job, students look you up in later life and say thank you. And if you don`t do so well with some student they may think bad things about you but you really have to mess them up for them to want to hunt you down. Here is an email form the former category.


Hello Mr. Loc,

I am not sure if you would remember me or not, My name is Daniel S _ _ _ _ _. I was in your classes at CCROP. I attended the first internet web publishing class that you had and then the following year took your animation class.. I tried to drop by the school to say Hello, but they told me you were not working there anymore. So I did some searching on the internet and found this E-mail address, I hope this one is still valid.

I have built and maintained the website www.customautoparts.com for the last 3 years now. I
remember you being such a great teacher while I was going to school there, and like I said I was in the neighborhood and wanted to drop in on you and see how you were doing. Since I did not see you at the school, I hope this E-mail reaches you . . . Write me back and let me know how things have been.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Daniel S_ _ _ _ _

I remembered him. Needless to say I did write him back. This is the gravy, the feed for the ego, the stuff that keeps me teaching. I had a teacher like this only more so, Peggy Russell, my 8th grade English teacher, I still am in touch with her. For years she edited my manuscripts until computers came up with spell check. She went out of her way to change my life for the better. I wouldn`t be writing this today with out her. I will love her to the day I die. I don`t think I have ever paid back my debt to her but these past students looking me up give me hope that some day I might.
