My thanks to Jeff Thompson, who invited me to dub the
voice of Miranda in the "Rules of Being 16" episode of the Captain Tylor OVA series! Click the image below to see the
official Tylor page - including a much appreciated mention which was also included on the back cover of the box!

The Bolar Wars Info
I've been asked many times why we didn't dub the 3rd season.
In a nutshell, at the time, we didn't even know that there WAS a 3rd season.
It hadn't even been released in Japan until the mid 80's - long after The Quest For Iscandar and The Comet Empire. The casting folk DID
try to find us, but by that time we had all gone our seperate ways, and the fact that we were non -union made
it even more difficult to track us down.
I've been letting everyone know that if and when the green light is given for a re-dub, I'll be there!

9/25/01 Anime Weekend Atlanta As I knew it would be, AWA was a smashing success!!!
Ken Meseroll and Tom Tweedy (the voices of Dererk Wildstar and Mark Venture) were there and we had the most wonderful time.
They hadn't seen each other in 22 years, and to see them together again, it was as though no time at all had passed. We did
two great panels, met with friends and fans, spent time at some really good parties, and ate some great food - thanks to my
very own husband, Dave III, who ran the best Green Room on record! We missed those dear friends who couldn't be with us, and
raised a glass (or two! ~_*) to you!!!
Heartfelt thanks to Dave Merrill, Stan, Lloyd, Gordon, Carol Ann, Jason and the entire wonderful
AWA staff for a most memorable time!
