Robert C. Bruce! Apparently, Bruce and his company ran accross my site's information on him. Here's an email I recieved from his grandson:

"I am writing for Robert C. Bruce. He is my grandfather and impressed to find
his history posted on the net. He is now 87 and living in Greenville SC. If
anyone has specific questions regarding his work and background, he would be
more than happy to oblige." (there was an email provided, but I will ask before I put that out)

I was then given a brief history, including some things I didn't know:
"A brief history....very active in major network programs out of Hollywood for
25 yrs including one of four in the cast of the first cartoon animated film
on television, the NBC "Comic Book", playing 20 running parts. When TV came
in, he wrote 150 pictures for television in three years, then started his own
film company Robert C. productions, making over 400 films. He wrote, filmed,
narrated and edited until he retired at 65. Also, 60 yrs in theater business.
Sincerely, Robert C. Bruce"

I've contacted him asking about his history with the Warner cartoons...expect to hear something soon!

Robert C. Bruce recorded an audio-autobiography. I heard it years ago and it is fascinating. Ask him how it can be purchased.

I for one would be interested in hearing about the recording sessions for WB cartoons. I bet he's got some stories to share...
