	Hope everyone had a safe and good holiday. Got word back from Ken Landgraf (see credits) last week and he's alive and well in New York. He gives a thumbs up in the website (who couldn't?) and gave us the following on the very first days of working on the GR project:

	I got the job at Galaxy Rangers from an ad placed in the New York Times Sunday News paper. I had already drawn for DC comics and Marvel comics so I got the job right away. Most of the other artists I don't think had too many professional accomplishments . Mandell created the series but David Gregg was in charge of getting the work out. Several art directors gave out the daily assignments these were mostly young guys. I was about 29 or 30 at the time . The first day we didn't draw, we helped move furniture to set up the front office where Gregg and Mandell worked. The first room on the left was where Kirney worked. I think she was a producer (her sister is a producer on Courage the Cowardly Dog). We would all get a section of the storyboard to work on so we never knew what the entire story would be. Years later I got a complete set of all the episodes to find out I had worked on almost all of 'em. As soon as we finished the boards which were done in pencil they would be edited and faxed off to Japan where they would be animated. - Ken Landgraf Thanks for the info Ken!

	The LINKS section is now OPEN! Got a GR site? Got a personal site? Head on in and add it to the list!
