	Andover Bulletin - Spring 2002 - Memorial Tributes
		Surrounded by Muppets and talented puppeteers, Brian Henson developed an early interest in the technical side of puppeteering, which led to his building, then performing with, animatronics, or mechanized puppets.
		To do so, Henson temporarily had to give up directing and focus on the business side of things, which was, at the time, unfamiliar territory.
		Henson, 38, doesn’t have time to teach puppeteering or give lectures anymore, as he occasionally did in his father’s stead when he was alive.
