OBITUARIES (Star and Tribune, Dec 24, 2000)

THOMAS G. YOHE, 63, the creative force behind
television's Emmy-winning "Schoolhouse Rock"
cartoons, which set educational messages to catchy
music, has died of cancer in Norwalk, Conn..  Yohe
was creative director of the ABC series of
animated shorts that ran from 1973 to 1985.  The
3 minute cartoons initially taught multiplication
tables through lyrics such as "Three Is a Magic
Number" and "My Hero, Zero."  The series soon
expanded into civics lessons, grammar, science,
and history.


I know I and many others have benefitted from his
work 8(.


Sincerely,

Sonia ;(
