The Huemer Lip

Men of the Huemer family (our branch of it, anyhow) tend to have long upper lips. The trait is illustrated in this caricature of RMH by Milt Banta. We feel the artist exaggerated somewhat.

Biographical Sketches (in alphabetical order)

Allen Anthony Huemer (AAH) [allen@huemer.com]: Allen was born in Los Angeles and spent his early years in North Hollywood, with his parents Richard Martin and Polly, and his older brothers Richard and David. He studied anthropology and archaeology as an undergraduate. His terminal studies were in political philosophy. He has been Assistant Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of Hawaii, Chair of the Humanities and Social Sciences program at Fort Peck Community College, and has taught philosophy and American antiquities at Central Wyoming College. Until recently, he served as the Staff Development Director at the Wyoming State Training School in Lander, Wyoming.

David Alexander Huemer (DAH) was born in Los Angeles, California on November 10, 1937, the second of three children of Dick and Polly Huemer. He earned his B.A. from Pomona College, where he  met  his  future  wife  Barbara Arundel. He then pursued graduate studies in mathematics at Oregon State U. in Eugene. With his concentration on computer science, he soon landed a job managing a data-processing center for VISA. He ultimately rose to the Vice-Presidency of that corporation. Subsequently he headed AirPlus, a credit-card company operated by a consortium of European airlines. He died in Hoboken, NJ, in 1992 of heart disease. 

Mariette "Polly" Huemer (MPH) [1902-1999] was born on July 2, 1902 in Bronx, NY, to Peter Prevosto and Marie Bonenfant Prevosto. Polly attended Cornell University, graduating Phi Beta Kappa in 1929. She was associated with a graduate school of social work in New York City prior to her marriage in 1931 to animation pioneer Dick Huemer. In her own eyes, her proudest achievement was inspiring the love of learning in three sons who distinguished themselves in diverse fields. She spent her later years in mentoring young people and in service to the community as a Public Library volunteer.

Berkeley in 1992 and his Ph.D. in philosophy from Rutgers in 1998. He is presently an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Colorado, Boulder. His first book, Skepticism and the Veil of Perception, was published in July, 2001.

He grew up in Calabasas Hills, Calif. and earned his B.S. in mechanical engineering at UCLA in 1990. After graduate studies for his M.S., Peter moved to Santa Cruz, where he married Valerie Bettenhausen in 1995. Peter and his wife own User-Friendly Computing, a company specializing in service, sales, repair, upgrades, and networks for microcomputers. The couple has no children.

In 1923 he became an animation director at the Max Fleischer Studio, and seven years later assumed a similar position with Charles Mintz. Moving to Disney in 1933, he animated short subjects, served as story director for "Fantasia," and co-authored "Dumbo." He left Disney to free-lance the comic strip "Buck O'Rue" from 1948-51, but returned to work in story and television. He also wrote the "True Life Adventure" newspaper feature from 1955 until his retirement in 1973. His honors included the "Annie" award from the animators' group ASIFA for his career achievements.
