To my loving and supportive wife René – Thanks for supporting me through the missed vacations, late nights and worked weekends in this life of animation. You signed up for this journey not knowing that you would often be an “animation widow” and yet have given me the gift of a wonderful life.

To my beautiful girls – You have been the animated characters that have inspired the animated characters enjoyed all over the world. I love you my princesses.
