HomePage:   Where are you from: Comments: I had the honor of meeting Mr. Spinney on the set of Sesame Street along with his lovely wife Debbie as an intern for the Jim Henson Company at the time. It was just such an honor to shake this man's hand who's work has influenced my life and brought such joy. Fantastic site, and I'm sure it's done Carroll proud. July 24, 2002 18:02:56 (GMT Time) Name: jennie spinney HomePage:   Where are you from: kingston, ns canada Comments: It has always made me proud to point out that Big Bird is, like myself, a Spinney. Even thought it is likely that our bloodlines have never crossed, ever since the day I read my last name in the credits at the end of the show, (when I was just old enought to be able to recognize my own last name in print)... it has made my heart swell with joy to be able to associate myself.. even if only grammarically, with such a great man! kudos on a wonderful site July 21, 2002 06:55:36 (GMT Time) Name: Jared Hunt HomePage: Where are you from: Comments: Hi, Jeni from cousin Jared June 12, 2002 01:25:29 (GMT Time) Name: DAVID ALVAREZ HomePage: david01@caribe.net Where are you from: PUERTO RICO Comments: I've always tought that I'll have a thousand things to say by the time I had a chance to write to this man, who I consider to be a hero. And you know what? I'll resume them in two words: "THANK YOU!" I'm a freelance cartoonist for WB and a puppeteer for a local TV station, so now you may know why I say those words. God Bless you, Mr Spinney for being a hero to all of us.

(Geez! Tears are coming to my eyes as I write this!?!) For a grouch, he sure is nice...and he's definately the most special bird I've ever met! March 13, 2002 23:51:49 (GMT Time) Name: Michelle Lundy HomePage: bigburd@hotmail.com Where are you from: Ontario, Canada Comments: Amazing page on one of the amazingest people around!! I had the pleasure and honour of meeting Caroll back in '94. I met him in the cafeteria of the Sesame Street studio. I'll never forget how excited I was! (I'll also never forget the little spot of cranberry sauce from his lunch in his beard! teehee!) It was a dream come true to hang out with him on Sesame Street!! He is easily one of the kindest, most talented people ever. A true inspiration to so many. I now work in children's televisi March 13, 2002 23:50:31 (GMT Time) Name: Aldi HomePage:   Where are you from: Quebec, Canada Comments: (part 2, continued) I'm happily surprised to learn that he's also an animator! I took a shot at animation myself, winning a student award years ago, but I had to leave animation since I can't draw well enough. Big Bird wouldn't be Big Bird without Mr. Spinney's charm and loving personality. I hope Mr. Spinney keeps playing Big Bird for a long time! Aldi :-) March 10, 2002 16:32:50 (GMT Time) Name: Aldi HomePage:   Where are you from: Quebec, Canada Comments: An essential, well done website! Congratulations! :-) I'm 33 but I'm still young at heart. I'm not embarrassed to say that I'm still in love with Big Bird. I'd do anything to get a hug from my favorite Muppet, and maybe even play him for a few minutes! I read that the bird's head is heavy though. I also worry about Mr. Spinney's eyes. Watching that monitor in the dark must be hard on his eyes, isn't it? Mr. Spinney is an icon for me. I'm happily surprised to learn that he's also an animato March 10, 2002 16:29:53 (GMT Time) Name: Walter HomePage: http://members.chello.at/walter.nairz Where are you from: Innsbruck Comments: Hallo!

When my parents peeled the old wallpaper from the wall of his room (my room), there were cartoon drawings that he had made on the original wall! And he got his start doing puppetry in our barn!!

I have corresponded with him, and I have never come across a celebrity so warm and caring to one of his fans than he was. I'm glad there's a web site to showcase this great performer. Keep up the good work! July 29, 2001 23:32:02 (GMT Time) Name: Terry Burke HomePage: http://welcome.to/dogstar Where are you from: Cincinnati, Ohio Comments: Hi Jeni (and Caroll too!) It is wonderful that you have created a web page to pay tribute to one of the legends of Sesame Street. I remember watching Mr. Lion on TV as a kid, and even met Caroll with the orange Oscar at a puppetry convention held at the Hynes Convention Center (Boston, MA) in the early 1970's. Boy do I wish that I still had the autograph that Caroll signed for me. At least I still have the happy memories. Take care. -Terry July 29, 2001 17:24:56 (GMT Time) Name: Mike bardouniotis HomePage: Where are you from: Surrey B.C Comments: Hey Jeni! I've seen some old sesame street skits of Oscar in the early 70's and the expression on his face seemed quite scary to me but but nonetheless Oscar is my favorite muppet and he rules! So does big Bird! God Bless Caroll for bringing these guys to life!!
