Hugh SEX ctusowos )CA® RAINES, STRIDENT VOICcE§ ---- - used to live on a beautiful little farm out in Maple Ridge. There was adeep, fairly swiftly moving river (I think it was the Allouette) running through it. He had all sorts of ani- mals on the farm. He had a horse, a donkey, a dog, cats, ducks, and chickens. One day, while John was there for a visit, one of the ducks escaped from its pen and made a dash for the river. Hugh raced after it to try and catch it. But it made it into the water and started to get away. Hugh jumped in after it and John followed him. John said it was both humorous and amazing to see Hugh trying to catch a duck in its own ele- ment. It seemed like a crazy enterprise, doomed to failure. When the duck dove to the bottom, so did Hugh. When it popped up to the surface, so | did Hugh. They careened back and forth, up and down for quite a while. Amazingly, Hugh eventually caught the duck. When he did, Hugh exclaimed “You're the only one I’mnotgoing to eat because you’re so brave”.

Hugh was a pioneer. He based a lot of his teaching on things he learned directly from Norman McLaren at the N.F.B. But he went on to develop many new teaching methods of his own which proved to be very effective. Much of what Hugh knew was self taught. He wanted his students to draw their inspiration from the best of the world, not the California model. Aside from the ties he had with the N.F.B., Hugh initiated international exchanges and ties between his department and those in Poland, Yugo- slavia, Czechoslovakia, China and else- where. He wanted them to come into contact with the alternative masters of Film Animation. People who did pioneering work that was simple, cheap to do, and highly experimen- tal. People who could creatively produce marvellous films in spite of financial restraints or barriers of any kind. What makes Hugh’s accomplishment so amazing is that for many years he was a one man department. He taught students at all levels: second, third, and fourth year. To have done this while maintaining the interest and dedication of his students was quite a feat. The most consistent remarks that Hugh’s students made about him were that he was inspiring and totally dedicated to them. He went far beyond the call of duty in terms of the time he gave to them. He treated them like family. He was generous with them. He could be tough and demanding. He was 4908 pet lios, esas? = Hoo t eine y PERISCOPE eve PEERS P,ROUND.... HUMMING LOUDE BR MoTorR...

The Animation program started back in 1967, under John Taylor. I believe it started as an Animation Club. Their first facilities were no bigger than acloset. But the students were very motivated and went about producing some very good film. The next year, John convinced Fred Amos to establish Animation as a formal course. It was during this time that Hugh became involved in Animation, so he was in at the beginning. Since that time the Animation program has had some great instructors. The list included Ryan Larkin, Ken Klassen, Mel Hoskins, Jim Kalnin, Marv Newland, Cyrus Block, and Al Rasutis. They all made a wonderful contribution to the school. But despite their good qualities as artists and teachers, the program lacked continuity because of the frequent changes in faculty. When Hugh came on board all of that changed.

He expected a lot from them and they responded beautifully. They said he was a great teacher and he was. Also, I should say that Hugh didn’t restrict his teaching activities to the school. I think he would have taught the entire world to animate films if it were possible. He taught a workshop for Inuit people at Cape Dorset, up on Baffin Island in the Northwest Territories. And, closer to home, he offered workshops for children. I am not only sure that Hugh lives on somewhere else; he lives on here in the good works he has done, in the paintings and films he has given us, in his children and the people he has touched and in the many fine Animators whose careers he has nurtured. .

Memories of an Uncle from the eulogy by Julie Jackson (daughter of Hugh’s sister, Diane) Many of you knew Hugh Foulds as a teacher or a friend. But to his nieces and nephew, he was known as Uncle Hughie and he was both of these things to us; teacher and friend. Uncle taught us about the valuable things in life; how to ride horses and donkeys; how to pour a short or a tall milk; how to drive - at age 7; to be nice to animals, and he gave us an interest in people and cultures from around the world. We will look back with warm memories on days spent at the Alouette River; games of Mr. Kerr; singing to Uncle’s guitar or mandolin playing; and sleeping outside to watch for falling stars on a warm August night. Uncle Hughie taught us many things and he will continue to do this. When | spoke with him on Saturday, he said that angels are good and that now there would be at least one_ angel who knew how to harness a horse! And knowing Uncle, he'll be sharing this knowledge and teaching the other angels his tech- nique, throwing in a few good jokes and a few bad ones along the way. Thanks Uncle, for all the gifts you gave us. We love you and will miss your mischievous ways. ing on Widgeon Creek. can’t remember who was Hugh's companion.
