[Oe List ...] Remembering Len

[opossum2@att.net]

John,

I'm pretty sure that it was another fellow that was Tony the Tiger's voice, and I think he died earlier this year.  I first met Len in Sydney in Sept. 1970, when he came out with JWM on Joe's annual post-Summer Research Assembly tour of the overseas houses.  I mainly remember him as being fairly quiet and often introspective, which was such a different persona to his TV commercial one.  I salute him in his passing.

Grace and Peace,

Steve Rhea
Houston, Tx.

I suspect that we have many memories of Len Dressler.  He and his wife 
kept our children, Sarai and Chris, when the children were evacuated 
during the riots.  He was always a presence in the Guardian meetings.  
When we were doing an ITI in India he came with Mathews and other 
Guardians and would do his Ho, Ho, Ho for the Indian youngsters who had 
never heard of the Jolly Green Giant, but were awed by the performance 
nevertheless.

We have many riches.

Somehow, in the back of my memories I have it that Len Dressler was also the voice of Tony the Tiger.  I also have many memories of Research Assemblies in Chicago and singing with Len and others.  I have a tape cassette that he may have helped to record of singing at one of those summer assemblies.
