Comments on: Wish You Could’ve Known Cali’s Dad http://www.nealcampbell.com/2008/06/20/wish-you-couldve-known-calis-dad/ I use my blog and the podcast as a therapeutic release. If friends and nice people read or listen cool, I guess, but I'm not asking you to.

I was one of Tullio's students at the Atlanta School of Art back in the 1960s when he first started teaching there. I have thought for many years how I could express the influence that Tullio had on people. I think it distills down to something like this: he introduced his students and all who knew him to the meaning of the Divine in Art and Life. It was an elevating experience to know him. Later we became close friends and worked together on several pioneering multimedia projects in Atlanta. He was a great Artist and technological visionary - for example, back in the 60s he understood the relationship between computer technology and the visual arts (something almost no one else was thinking about back then). Working with one of his friends, who was a computer engineer at Lockheed, Tullio actually designed a very early digital controller for multimedia theater presentations (about the 1968 timeframe). He was the producer/director of an Emmy winning public television program called Urban Mythology, which aired from Georgia Public Television in the early 1970s. I can say without reservation that Tullio was the greatest creative influence on my life. His kind does not often walk among us and those of us how had the honor of knowing him are blessed.

I am re-reading the polish of a novel I've just finished. I based a character on a man I once worked for, who I cannot forget. His influence will never leave me either. His name is/was Tullio, and he was a filmmaker and founder of AND Media. That was 1974. On a whim, I typed Tullio's name into Google and found this site. I feel very sad right now. Would you feel comfortable telling me how Tullio passed and when? Yours sincerely, Avram Gold Dear Neal and Cali,

I lost my grandmother, my life-song, three years ago and this month as been especially hard on me. Seeing Neal's post of David Phelps singing No More Night has me here bawling...partially because I miss her horribly, but partially because she is with Jesus singing and praising Him as one day, I will. I will hug my parents closer...and love them despite their faults...and hope that you know what a gem in Neal you have as his love for you will always remind you of how much your father loved him loving you. I'm praying for you.... Hugs, Kat Curlee Oh Cali…how I feel your pain. I lost my grandmother, my life-song, three years ago and this month as been especially hard on me.

All the arguing sounds pointless when you hear about somebody else's loss. I feel like I should go hug my parents right now.

Because if you believe it hard enough, how can it not be true. As long as you think that it’s possible for spirits to help you, that is all that matters.

It would have been cool to have him involved in GBTV. Maybe you could dedicate part of the big trip to him. That would be cool. Hey guys,

Cali, I'm so sorry for your loss. I feel your pain. My brother passed away at 33 yrs old in 2005 (it will be the 3 yr anniv in one week) from stage 4 colon cancer. This week (actually the entire month of June) gets me down every time. I would have thought 3 yrs time would have helped me heal a bit, but to be honest it hasn't. Maybe it never will. I do know when his spirit is around me, though. Only I know and it's that big brother feeling I get as if he's watching me or protecting me or even guiding me. Your Dad is definitely smiling at the both of you, for you both do such good to the human kind. That kind of gift is never taken for granted. Celebrate your Dad as I will try to celebrate Steve.

Anniversaries and Father's day and birthdays are all hard; they bring it all back, don't they? My stepfather, Bob, was our biggest supporter when we decided to hit the road. He read our blog every day and always wanted us to have streaming video out the front windshield. I wish that Qik had been available while he was still alive. He would have been thrilled. When I write, I write to Bob. He is my audience, even though we lost him in November 2006. I'm sure Cali's Dad is still your #1 fan and is proud and thrilled.
