I was a guest in 1996 and took mostly culinary classes (we got to eat what we cooked and it saved a lot of money!). I did take the class where we got to paint the Stretch McStretch cel. I proudly display mine in my dining room at home. I also got the pin. They don't match. I believe that my cel was either the second or third one. It is close to the one you have pictured but the feet and legs appear different. Of course, I think mine is much prettier. We were there the week that Diamond Rio recorded their Christmas album and got to see it for free. All of the classes were great. Since I live in Michigan, I didn't see all the advertisement for the Institute. A friend heard about it and we decided to check it out. When we made plans to return, we heard that it had 'downsized' to an office type class for people with overpriced hand held toys. I was so disappointed. I thought they had a great thing going. Thank you for Stretch. I feel priviledge to own the pin and cel. (What is a maquette?). I miss the Institute and wish it had succeeded.

I always wish I knew a bit more about the people who I've learned from. Until recently, I had lost sight of why I was going to school in the first place. Being able to come to your site and relearn the fundamentals is a whale of a boon. And, because I don't know any better, are you going to be teaching any more classes at SCAD? Anim 1 was one of the best classes I had taken. Was looking forward to more as I slowly shed my perpetual slackderdom. Thanks again! Thanks for sharing about your experiences!

I attended the Mulan event at the Disney Institute (the weekend with June Foray) and it was a great experience. Very inspiring and definitely something I'll always keep with me. Sorry to hear it closed down. It was a neat concept and seemed like a good complement to the Florida studio (but we all know how that turned out, too). Hi Larry, thanks for sharing the story.

I remember, very vividly, the tallness (thanks for turning on the overhead projection system) and the red hair- a certain comical pizza guy. Happy to know you are around.... Thanks, Hey Kyle,
