Below, me with Jim Henson and Kermit in Charleville-Meziere, France, during Jim's workshop there in the summer of 1987. Jim was a terrific teacher, and extremely generous with his time. Even though he initially discouraged me from attending, because I'd been working for him for several months already, I learned a lot at this workshop.
