Subject: Ray Harryhausen passes away

Greetings,

Just heard that the great stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen has passed away:
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=103886

I know that for a sizeable fraction of our community  of a certain age, 
Harryhausen's animated fossil animals (and other creatures) were the closest 
thing we saw in childhood to ancient creatures coming to life.
