Among the guest speakers were Pat Fraley, Bob Bergen and a surprise appearance by Don LaFontaine. Topics discussed ranged from demos to marketing and everything in between.

Fun & Games The answer to last month's trivia question: His very first credit came in 1943 when he played the wolf howl (yep, that's all) in a movie entitled, "Red Hot Riding Hood" in which the characters of the fairy-tale absolutely refuse to do the tale in the same old way. Instead Little Red Riding Hood is transformed into the hottest singer in town, the wolf becomes The Wolf and grandma turns into a man chaser. He later became well-known as the voice of several major cartoon characters for Hanna Barbera. ANSWER: Daws Butler
Trivia for April This month's personality will be another fill-in the blank. Okay... ready? Although she'll be remembered for a single, but very memorable role on one of TV's most successful and long-running sit-coms, she has a long list of credits, including some animation voiceover work. She appeared in two episodes of "King of the Hill" among others. Her throaty, gravel voice serves her well. Besides, it's very sexy. Okay - here comes a clue: If you think you have an answer, "I'm listening"! Who is she?
