    We used to broadcast Aussie Rules on Fox cable TV here. I 
never talked to the man but he did attend 20th Century-Fox 
Christmas parties. I just never had the nerve. I wonder how he 
would respond to being called a Mexican? He _is_ from Melbourne. 
About the only thing I can say is that he did restore the studio 
to its glory although when I first saw it, at about the age of 
ten, it looked pretty much down at the heels. I never thought I 
would wind up working there.
    I did have an Aussie lady friend long ago, her favorite 
reaction was f**k a duck.
