Quirky Christmas Cards of Yore

I just got word of a really interesting find: Designer Mollie Siu-Chong's friend found some amazing homemade Christmas cards tucked away in her grandmother's house. "They were made by Ted Sears, Disney animator from 1931-58, and feature Sears, his wife Vee, and their daughter, Marcia. His IMDB bio states: 'To amuse himself, Ted still drew for his friends and made props for the plays his daughter appeared in - he also produced his family's Christmas cards which employed his old love for trick photography an special effects - these holiday cards took months to prepare and were awaited with great anticipation by over three hundred recipients. (he lettered the envelopes individually, turning each name into calligraphy.)'"






Mollie's curious whether anyone knows where Marcia, Ted's daughter who was featured prominently in many of the found cards, is now?
