Day of Remembrance at the Lasky-Demille Barn

So a day of remembrance was held at the Lasky-Demille Barn on Saturday, March 13th. Ric's student from the Kubert school, Larry Loc, said some kind words to help those present get a flavor of what his experience of Ric was as student so many years ago. Present were many animation industry professionals from every major studio. The picture below is of Ric's long time friend and coworker, Art Leonardi. You may know him as the father of the Pink Panther. Art has kindly agreed to be one of our next interviews. (If you're having a hard time seeing Art's face properly, simply turn your head sideways. Who knows, after you're done looking at the photo, you might find that the world looks better this way :)
