Biographical Notes
Henry Scott Rubel (Pen Name, Hal Raynor), special writer of the famous Joe Penner song material, is one of America’s most interesting and versatile songwriters. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 5, 1898, and spent his boyhood in Cincinnati, and, as a radio operator on the Great Lakes, out of Conneaut and Ashtabula, Ohio. While in his Freshman year in the College of Engineering at the University of Wisconsin, he was called into service in 1917, as a radio operator in the U.S. Navy.
As a Sailor in Uncle Sam’s Navy, Rubel organized a ship’s orchestra and because sheet music was hard to get up in the turbulent waters of the North Sea, he began writing songs for the crew to sing. In a competition among all the sailors of the North Sea Mine Laying Squadron, his song, “Force of Mine”, was made the official song of the squadron by Admiral Strauss.
After the war, Henry Scott Rubel decided to give up engineering and enter the ministry of the Episcopal Church. He went back to college for his degree and worked his way through by writing a newspaper column. Here his song-writing began in earnest and in addition to writing original material for stage performers, orchestras and others, he wrote the book, music and lyrics of one of the celebrated University of Wisconsin Haresfoot Shows.
After receiving his A.B. degree, Henry Scott Rubel went to New York for post graduate work at the General Theological Seminary and Columbia University and during this time he wrote many musical numbers for New York theatrical performers. While in New York he met Dorothy Deuel, Broadway musical comedy star, who was headlining in the Music Box Review, and they were married in December of 1928 in Pittsburgh. Subsequently, his duties as curate, and later as rector, took him to the Midwest, first to Milwaukee and then to Chicago. While in Chicago, Reverend Mr. Rubel began writing and producing the World Book Man Series, a nationally known educational feature then ran daily on 137 stations. In addition, he wrote many other programs and plays. In 1932 he was called to New York City to take charge of the National Biscuit Company programs and for a year he wrote and performed on these programs during which time he composed, in addition, six original songs a week for this network production.
Henry Scott Rubel came to California during the summer of 1935, to fulfill a contract with Paramount Pictures, following which he returned to New York City to resume a contract with Joe Penner with whom he had worked since Joe’s first broadcast in 1932. The next summer he returned to California, again under contract to Paramount Pictures, and this time he decided to make his home amid the orange groves of sunny Glendora, 27 miles east of Hollywood. Since 1936, the Rev. Mr. Rubel has been rector of Grace Church, Glendora.
Writing under the pen name of Hal Raynor, he wrote practically all the material introduced in motion pictures, on radio and on the stage by the inimitable Joe Penner.
On December 7, 1941, Rubel enlisted as a communications officer in the State Guard Division of the United States Army. He is new on active duty in that capacity as a Lieutenant. There are three younger Rubels — Dorchen, eleven, Christopher, eight, and Michael not quite two years old…

Mini Biography
Juliette Lewis is recognized as one of Hollywood's most talented and versatile actors of her generation. She first stunned mass audiences and critics alike with her Oscar-nominated performance as 'Danielle Bowden' in Cape Fear (1991). To date, she has worked with some of the most revered directors in the industry: Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, Lasse Hallström, Oliver Stone, and Garry Marshall. Most recently, she received an Emmy nomination for her performance in My Louisiana Sky (2001) (TV). Whether lending dramatic authenticity or a natural comedic flair, Lewis graces her roles with remarkable range and an original and captivating style.
Lewis recently co-starred opposite Jennifer Lopez in the thriller Enough (2002/I) directed by Michael Apted. Lewis played the best friend of an abused woman who must reclaim her life from her dangerous husband. The part appealed to her because she got to play a "sweet, vibrant, regular gal," she offers. The poignant drama Hysterical Blindness (2002) (TV) debuted on August 25, 2002, on HBO, in which Lewis stared with Uma Thurman and Gena Rowlands. Set in the 1980s, the story follows two single, working-class New Jersey women on a bittersweet quest for love and meaning. Based on the play by Laura Cahill, the film is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Mira Nair and the executive producer is Thurman.
Hysterical Blindness (2002) (TV) was the centerpiece premiere at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. "I've never seen this female perspective told before with such a true voice," says Lewis, who plays a single mother in Hysterical Blindness (2002) (TV). "It's raw, heartbreakingly honest and real."
Lewis went blond for her role in the DreamWorks comedy Old School (2003), co-starring opposite Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Will Ferrell in this story of disenchanted men who try to recapture their college days by starting a fraternity. "The script was a laugh-out-loud page-turner," says Lewis, who plays Wilson's seemingly innocent girlfriend. "If I was going to be in a rip-roaring boy's comedy, I knew I didn't want to play straight man. I love doing comedy and doing characters, and I made this one a pampered California girl. My scenes with Luke Wilson are very situational--and that's where the comedy lies. I'm naturally kind of ridiculous. I don't take myself or others too seriously." Old School (2003)) was released in 2003.
Lewis is currently filming the feature Blueberry (2004), based on the French comic book adventures of Western hero Mike Blueberry. She stars alongside Michael Madsen and French film star Vincent Cassel in this project directed by Jan Kounen. For her role as a rancher's daughter, Lewis is on horseback for much of the film. "I used to ride years ago, but I can only hope the fearlessness I had when I was 11 still lives," she says. The production is shooting on location in Mexico, Spain, France, and Britain.
Lewis recently received an Emmy nomination for her performance in Showtime's My Louisiana Sky (2001) (TV), a coming-of-age drama set in rural Louisiana in the early 1950s. Lewis plays Dorie Kay, an urbanized working woman who tries to help her 12-year-old niece come to terms with the girl's developmentally challenged parents. Based on the Kimberly Willis Holt novel, the acclaimed film was directed by Adam Arkin, who won an Emmy for Outstanding Directing, and produced by Anthony Edwards.
One of Lewis' most challenging roles to date was Carla Tate, a mentally challenged woman on a journey of independence and self discovery in Garry Marshall's The Other Sister (1999). "I wanted to capture her honesty so people could relate to her," says Lewis, who starred with her longtime friend Giovanni Ribisi, as well as Diane Keaton and Tom Skerritt. "I was playing a character who was full of life and determination, and it really had an effect on me. I connected very deeply to Carla and her feelings."
Other recent projects include the colorful European comedy release of Room to Rent (2000), in which Lewis sings and dances as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator; the crime thriller The Way of the Gun (2000), starring Benicio Del Toro and Ryan Phillippe; and Picture Claire (2001), a mockumentary about the making of a big-budget film, with Gina Gershon.
Lewis was born in Hollywood to Glenis Batley, a graphic designer, and actor Geoffrey Lewis, a regular in Clint Eastwood's films and frontman of the musical group Celestial Navigations. By the age of 6, she knew she wanted to be a performer and found inspiration in musicals like Fame (1980) and Grease (1978). At 12, Lewis landed her first leading role in the Showtime miniseries Home Fires (1987) (TV). After appearing in the sitcoms "The Wonder Years" (1988) and "I Married Dora" (1987), she went on to star with Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) and with Jennifer Jason Leigh in the drama Crooked Hearts (1991). At 16, Lewis starred in the critically acclaimed telefilm Too Young to Die? (1990) (TV), based on the true story of Amanda Sue Bradley, a sexually abused runaway who was the first minor to receive the death sentence. Lewis' performance caught the attention of Martin Scorsese, who cast her in the thriller Cape Fear (1991). Her powerful scenes with Robert De Niro captured the quiet complexities of adolescence and earned her an Oscar nomination and Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Her auditorium scene with De Niro goes down in movie-making history as one of cinema's classic scenes. Lewis next worked with Woody Allen in Husbands and Wives (1992), playing a self-assured college coed who has a penchant for older men, particularly her married professor. She then went on to star in the bittersweet love story That Night (1992), with C. Thomas Howell. In 1993, Lewis starred as Adele Corners, a dysfunctional innocent on a cross-country journey with her psycho-killer boyfriend (Brad Pitt) in Kalifornia (1993). She also played a waitress from Queens opposite Gary Oldman in Romeo Is Bleeding (1993) and a wise and worldly young drifter in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) with Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio. In 1994, Lewis starred alongside Woody Harrelson in Natural Born Killers (1994), Oliver Stone's controversial media satire about two mass murderers who become legendary folk heroes. Lewis's other credits include the Nora Ephron comedy Mixed Nuts (1994) with Steve Martin and Adam Sandler; the sci-fi action film Strange Days (1995) with Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett; and Quentin Tarantino's vampire tale From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) with George Clooney. In 1996, Lewis appeared as Shirley MacLaine's granddaughter in The Evening Star (1996). She went on to star in the independent film Some Girl (1998), with Michael Rapaport and Giovanni Ribisi, and the thriller The 4th Floor (1999) with William Hurt. Lewis has been married since 1999 to professional skateboarder Stephen Berra but has filed for divorce.

The poignant drama Hysterical Blindness (2002) (TV) debuted on August 25, 2002, on HBO, in which Lewis stared with Uma Thurman and Gena Rowlands. Set in the 1980s, the story follows two single, working-class New Jersey women on a bittersweet quest for love and meaning. Based on the play by Laura Cahill, the film is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Mira Nair and the executive producer is Thurman.
Hysterical Blindness (2002) (TV) was the centerpiece premiere at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. "I've never seen this female perspective told before with such a true voice," says Lewis, who plays a single mother in Hysterical Blindness (2002) (TV). "It's raw, heartbreakingly honest and real."
Lewis went blond for her role in the DreamWorks comedy Old School (2003), co-starring opposite Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Will Ferrell in this story of disenchanted men who try to recapture their college days by starting a fraternity. "The script was a laugh-out-loud page-turner," says Lewis, who plays Wilson's seemingly innocent girlfriend. "If I was going to be in a rip-roaring boy's comedy, I knew I didn't want to play straight man. I love doing comedy and doing characters, and I made this one a pampered California girl. My scenes with Luke Wilson are very situational--and that's where the comedy lies. I'm naturally kind of ridiculous. I don't take myself or others too seriously." Old School (2003)) was released in 2003.
Lewis is currently filming the feature Blueberry (2004), based on the French comic book adventures of Western hero Mike Blueberry. She stars alongside Michael Madsen and French film star Vincent Cassel in this project directed by Jan Kounen. For her role as a rancher's daughter, Lewis is on horseback for much of the film. "I used to ride years ago, but I can only hope the fearlessness I had when I was 11 still lives," she says. The production is shooting on location in Mexico, Spain, France, and Britain.
Lewis recently received an Emmy nomination for her performance in Showtime's My Louisiana Sky (2001) (TV), a coming-of-age drama set in rural Louisiana in the early 1950s. Lewis plays Dorie Kay, an urbanized working woman who tries to help her 12-year-old niece come to terms with the girl's developmentally challenged parents. Based on the Kimberly Willis Holt novel, the acclaimed film was directed by Adam Arkin, who won an Emmy for Outstanding Directing, and produced by Anthony Edwards.
One of Lewis' most challenging roles to date was Carla Tate, a mentally challenged woman on a journey of independence and self discovery in Garry Marshall's The Other Sister (1999). "I wanted to capture her honesty so people could relate to her," says Lewis, who starred with her longtime friend Giovanni Ribisi, as well as Diane Keaton and Tom Skerritt. "I was playing a character who was full of life and determination, and it really had an effect on me. I connected very deeply to Carla and her feelings."
Other recent projects include the colorful European comedy release of Room to Rent (2000), in which Lewis sings and dances as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator; the crime thriller The Way of the Gun (2000), starring Benicio Del Toro and Ryan Phillippe; and Picture Claire (2001), a mockumentary about the making of a big-budget film, with Gina Gershon.
Lewis was born in Hollywood to Glenis Batley, a graphic designer, and actor Geoffrey Lewis, a regular in Clint Eastwood's films and frontman of the musical group Celestial Navigations. By the age of 6, she knew she wanted to be a performer and found inspiration in musicals like Fame (1980) and Grease (1978). At 12, Lewis landed her first leading role in the Showtime miniseries Home Fires (1987) (TV). After appearing in the sitcoms "The Wonder Years" (1988) and "I Married Dora" (1987), she went on to star with Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) and with Jennifer Jason Leigh in the drama Crooked Hearts (1991). At 16, Lewis starred in the critically acclaimed telefilm Too Young to Die? (1990) (TV), based on the true story of Amanda Sue Bradley, a sexually abused runaway who was the first minor to receive the death sentence. Lewis' performance caught the attention of Martin Scorsese, who cast her in the thriller Cape Fear (1991). Her powerful scenes with Robert De Niro captured the quiet complexities of adolescence and earned her an Oscar nomination and Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Her auditorium scene with De Niro goes down in movie-making history as one of cinema's classic scenes. Lewis next worked with Woody Allen in Husbands and Wives (1992), playing a self-assured college coed who has a penchant for older men, particularly her married professor. She then went on to star in the bittersweet love story That Night (1992), with C. Thomas Howell. In 1993, Lewis starred as Adele Corners, a dysfunctional innocent on a cross-country journey with her psycho-killer boyfriend (Brad Pitt) in Kalifornia (1993). She also played a waitress from Queens opposite Gary Oldman in Romeo Is Bleeding (1993) and a wise and worldly young drifter in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) with Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio. In 1994, Lewis starred alongside Woody Harrelson in Natural Born Killers (1994), Oliver Stone's controversial media satire about two mass murderers who become legendary folk heroes. Lewis's other credits include the Nora Ephron comedy Mixed Nuts (1994) with Steve Martin and Adam Sandler; the sci-fi action film Strange Days (1995) with Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett; and Quentin Tarantino's vampire tale From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) with George Clooney. In 1996, Lewis appeared as Shirley MacLaine's granddaughter in The Evening Star (1996). She went on to star in the independent film Some Girl (1998), with Michael Rapaport and Giovanni Ribisi, and the thriller The 4th Floor (1999) with William Hurt. Lewis has been married since 1999 to professional skateboarder Stephen Berra but has filed for divorce.

"Just 'cause I'm in the same age bracket as Johnny Depp and Leo Dicaprio doesn't mean we all screw together."

Sigh. I made this too small. I was expecting that this hat would be a bit stretchier. Should have made the largest size, I guess. The other problem I had was that I tried doing a flat gauge swatch and the gauge was completely different in the round. I would like to make this again and have it not tightly clutch my head. :)
With the brim turned up, I think I'm a dead ringer for the photographer guy on Dirt (that show with Courtney Cox).
He also played Professor Quirell in the first Harry Potter movie...and, true story!, my friends and I dubbed the entire film one New Years Eve...and some of my voiceover characters included Hermione, Professor McGonagal, and...Professor Quirrell!! (Meaning I was also VOLDEMORT! word.)
Oh, yeah...this is the same crocheted skullcap from the previous pic. Hehehe.
I should make a hat in this pattern in a magenta color and be Meg Griffin from Family Guy for Halloween this year. Hmmm...
NOVIALDI DROPCAP INITIALS No. 1
Each of the letter of this typeface set is designed to be used mostly as the center piece of a design and to be use in single or two letters at a time. Most often they are used as dropcaps to attract the viewer's attention to a beginning of a passage or a poster.
They work well as monograms of one and up to three letters combination. This typeface set also carries with it the interior decoration, and the color application is flexible enough for a wide range of design possibilities. As the Type in Use samples show, some letter can stand as a solid shape, some can elaborately ornamented and they still stand out as a beautiful main object of attraction on every design. They also show the versatility of its use, from magazine editorial to packaging to t-shirts.
Inspiration of style come from various calligraphy. From modern cut of Didone style (as in letter K and M). From illuminated manuscripts (as in letter U and Y). From scripts and handwriting (as in letter V and L). From vintage French signage lettering (as in letter P). And other original ideas.
