After he died she continued to write for both magazines (on a variety of topics) and since she still had many contacts in the animation area, she also wrote some cartoon proposals-- which is how 'Keep the Cool' came to happen. She probably wrote the concept and Shamus elaborated or adapted it. She also was involved for awhile in marketing a novel 3D animation process. But after my dad died she never was involved in the business of the studio or it's overhaul. Only writing.Ginny Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03044468491512964320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847279617449956865.post-52023685245558721442013-02-05T00:56:52.215-08:002013-02-05T00:56:52.215-08:00One thing I've wondered:

Was "Keep the Cool" another example, or was your mom participating in the studio's overhaul at the time?Yeldarb86https://www.blogger.com/profile/10131603833394294520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847279617449956865.post-17285506523368792392012-12-17T12:30:39.449-08:002012-12-17T12:30:39.449-08:00Thanks MIke for writing and remembering her-- Best...Thanks MIke for writing and remembering her-- Best, GinnyGinny Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03044468491512964320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847279617449956865.post-57925843547980446382012-12-16T12:47:08.458-08:002012-12-16T12:47:08.458-08:00Great post.
