I got a job with Barry & Enright on a kid's show on CBS -- "Winky Dink & You." Clever concept that belongs on the air today.

Ted Cooper was one of my favorite scenic designers. Aside from his sensational artistic imagination and talent, his technical expertise fascinated me. We worked together on several projects, until he became the number one choice for Goodson & Todman. They had a bigger budget than I did, so I lost out.[/quote]
"Winky Dink, and you,
Winky Dink, and me,
Oh we'll have a lot of fun together!"
One of those childhood memory's that has stuck with me, I still remember the tune, and can almost hear the theme song. I must have seen it in reruns, since I just looked at it went off the air only a year or so after I was born.
Thanks for remembering my dad, he passed away in December of '99, but I love to hear other people's memories of him, especially from the '50's!
