She writes in part:Linda Jones considered herself "incredibly lucky" to have had a father like Chuck Jones, the Oscar-winning animation director of Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies fame.

"He was probably the best father anybody could have," said Linda Jones, an only child. "His father had a difficult time being a father, and he vowed he would never impose that kind of difficulty and challenge on a child."

Her dad, she said, "was pretty much a 9 to 5 guy. He didn't bring his work home with him." Follow this link to read entire article.
