From Satellite News:
"October 17 - TED PESHAK, RIP
LAKE FOREST, IL-Theodore Joseph "Ted" Peshak, who worked as a director for Glenview, Ill.-based Coronet Instructional Films, died here of colon cancer Oct. 9. He was 87. MSTies will remember him as the director of the shorts APPRECIATING YOUR PARENTS (seen in episode 320- THE UNEARTHLY) and WHAT TO DO ON A DATE (seen in episode 503- SWAMP DIAMONDS).
After the War he joined Coronet, making films that were seen by millions of young people from the late 1940s into the 1960s. In addition to the two titles featured on MST3K, his work included classics of the genre such as "Shy Guy" (1947), featuring future "Bewitched" star Dick York; "Are You Popular?" (1947); "How Do You Know It's Love" (1950); "How Billy Keeps Clean" (1951) and "Choosing Your Marriage Partner" (1952)."
If you haven't seen "Are You Popular" or "Shy Guy" you can get them on Archive.org....they're both wonderful and I've always been sad that The Brains didn't use them.
