Comments left:	To Paul: I did some more digging on Dick Beals. While he rarely voiced any girl characters, he must have done the girl who rode with Choo Choo Charlie on the Good N Plenty train. Beals voiced several kids in the 1963 cartoon, "Funny Company," and sang the open and close songs. The only other notable voice was Hal Smith (Otis on "Andy Griffith") as Belly Laguna. I'll next cover Beals's work with Art Clokey. In 1960, the Lutheran Church in America (now ELCA) hired Clokey to crank out "Davey & Goliath" stop-motion cartoons that gently taught kids about morality. Dick Beals voiced Davey in the first two sets (1960 and 1962), plus a 1964 Christmas special. Afterward, Norma McMillian (voice of Casper the Ghost in 1963) was hired to to voice Davey for the 1971 set of cartoons. Also, for one or two cartoons, Clokey may have used Beals to voice Gumby in the early 1960s. In the 1956-59 set, Gumby was voiced by Dallas McKennon, who later voiced Archie Andrews for Filmation, plus co-star on "Daniel Boone." Starting in 1964, Norma McMillian voiced Gumby, doing so in the 1967 set. McKennon returned to work in the 1984 set of cartoons. Of other note, Art Clokey voiced Pokey, and Hal Smith did extensive work for him, as Davey's dad, John, among the characters.
