# Frederik Du Chau

Frederik Du Chau (born 15 May 1965) is a Belgian film director, screenwriter and animator.

## Career

Du Chau attended the Academy of Fine Arts in his hometown of Ghent, where he studied film and majored in animation under Raoul Servais. After graduation, he worked for Walt Disney Animation France and later as a freelance animator and directed several local commercials, combining live-action and animation.
The selection of his student film, The Mystery of the Lamb (Het mysterie van het lam), for the Los Angeles Animation Celebration Conference brought him to Hollywood where he was offered a job as an animator and later as a visual development and storyboard artist for Disney, Warner Bros., and Universal.
Du Chau's break as a director came when Sony offered him to co-direct a short film with Hoyt Yeatman for Sony Wonder. This was followed with a stint as a storyboard artist for Chuck Jones where he learned everything he could about gags, timing and funny business from the master himself.
After a job as the animation director for Universal's The Land Before Time III: The Time of the Great Giving, Du Chau was then offered a position as a visual development artist at the newly formed Warner Bros. Feature Animation department, where he sold two screenplays. He was attached to one of them as a director and was soon offered to direct the first animated feature for Warner Bros. Quest for Camelot.
Du Chau wrote and sold a couple of screenplays with Kirk DeMicco. One of the screenplays, titled Sky Boys, is a drama about two Irish immigrants who fight over the love of one girl while building the Empire State Building. Another screenplay was titled Hong Kong Phooey, based on the popular cartoon and was sold to Alcon and Warner Bros. This led to the opportunity to write and direct Racing Stripes for Warner Bros.
The moderate success of Racing Stripes led to the job of directing the American feature film titled, Underdog, for The Walt Disney Company, based on the popular 60s cartoon of a flying dog that becomes a superhero. It starred James Belushi, Jason Lee and Amy Adams. The film was extremely negatively received by critics.
He is currently attached to three different movies at several major studios. He just started filming The Krostons, based on the popular Belgian comic book series by Paul Deliege, his first Stereoscopic 3D movie for which he also wrote the screenplay.
When not directing Du Chau draws and develops his own series of graphic novels Fish Out of Water. His graphic novel work was recently selected at the Festival d'Angouleme 2008 to be exhibited as one of the Unpublished Young talents.
He currently lives and works in San Francisco, California.

# David K. Hoadley

David K. Hoadley (born 1938) is an American pioneer of storm chasing and the first widely recognized storm chaser, as well as the founder and former editor of Storm Track magazine. He is also a sketch artist and photographer.

## Biography

Hoadley's interest in storms and severe weather began shortly after he graduated from high school, when a severe thunderstorm caused straight-line wind damage to trees and power lines throughout his hometown of Bismarck, North Dakota, in June 1956. Following this, he chased locally and then for several springs roamed Kansas and Oklahoma. He earned a B.A. in political science from Indiana University and a M.A. in foreign affairs from the University of Virginia. After graduate school he volunteered for Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps, went to intelligence school, and chose to be stationed in Fort Riley, Kansas, in "Tornado Alley", as a lieutenant. Hoadley later made a career at the Environmental Protection Agency and retired in 2003. He continues to reside in Virginia.
Hoadley founded Storm Track in 1977 following an impromptu meeting with a handful of early storm chasers at the American Meteorological Society's 10th Conference on Severe Local Storms in Omaha, Nebraska. It began as a newsletter to connect widely dispersed chasers. Hoadley edited Storm Track from 1977 to 1986, after which it was handed off to Tim Marshall and soon assumed a magazine format. He continued submitting writing, photographs, and sketches to the magazine. He has written for the World Meteorological Organization and wrote a refereed article on a tornado spawned by Hurricane David. He also provided advice and sketches for Storm Talk, the Storm Chase Manual, Tornado Talk, and the Storm Chaser's Handbook. Although he generally eschews publicity, Hoadley has occasionally allowed journalists to join him on chases or granted interviews. He and his photographs have appeared in publications around the world, including Time-Life, National Geographic, Scientific American, the Chicago Tribune, and USA Today. On television, he has appeared on National Geographic Explorer, ABC's Day One, and The History Channel.
A meticulous record-keeper, Hoadley taught himself meteorology and developed a pattern recognition-based forecasting method, primarily using surface data. He has witnessed over 200 tornadoes and driven approximately 750,000 miles (1,210,000 km) while chasing. Many of these miles accumulated because he frequently drove to the Great Plains from his home in Virginia. He delivered a keynote speech about his storm chasing career – then in its 50th year – at the 2006 TESSA National Storm Conference, where he was honored in a tribute dinner.
# Alec Hardinge, 2nd Baron Hardinge of Penshurst

Major Alexander Henry Louis Hardinge, 2nd Baron Hardinge of Penshurst, GCB, GCVO, MC, PC (17 May 1894 – 29 May 1960) was Private Secretary to the Sovereign during the Abdication Crisis of Edward VIII and during most of the Second World War.

## Background and earlier life

Hardinge was born in 1894, the son of Charles Hardinge (who was created Baron Hardinge of Penshurst in 1910 and served as Viceroy of India from 1910 to 1916).
Hardinge was educated at Harrow School and Trinity College, Cambridge.
He was commissioned into the Grenadier Guards and fought in the First World War and became a Lieutenant and received the Military Cross. He was Aide-de-Camp to the Viceroy of India between 1915 and 1916. In 1920, he became Assistant Private Secretary to George V and was promoted Captain. On 8 February 1921, he married Helen Gascoyne-Cecil (a daughter of Lord Edward Gascoyne-Cecil) and they had three children. In 1929 he was promoted Major.
Hardinge served as Assistant Private Secretary until George V's death in January 1936.

## Private Secretary to Edward VIII and George VI

He was promoted to Private Secretary upon the accession of Edward VIII that same year, contributing to some delicate negotiations between the new king and the British government in the run up to the king's abdication in December 1936; he continued in this role under George VI until his early retirement in 1943. Alan Lascelles, the Assistant Private Secretary, effected the forced resignation of Hardinge and took over as Private Secretary.
Significantly, as Brandi McCarry's commentary has pointed out, Hardinge's ultimate loyalty lay with the King-in-Parliament rather than personally with a monarch in conflict (and especially when the conflict was between the Sovereign and "his" Parliament). This was particularly reflected in Hardinge's warning letter to Edward, received on 13 November 1936, which showed evidence of prior consultation with Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, who, with his cabinet, had serious misgivings about the suitability of Mrs Wallis Simpson as the possible spouse of the monarch. The precise nature and extent of his loyalty were thus constitutional—doing what he thought was right in his post as Private Secretary to the Sovereign.

## Death and legacy

Hardinge died in 1960 and his title was inherited by his son, George.
His wife Helen wrote his biography Loyal to Three Kings, William Kimber, London 1967.
