Mr. Jellison had such a major impact on so many students lives during those years he taught at Santa Monica High School... He taught us about Stanislavski, Shakespeare, and so, so much more... Putting on those wonderful plays under his direction were some of the most memorable and important experiences in our young lives, and is something that has stayed with me personally ever since. When I got the opportunity to direct my first professional film, the cinematographer, Robert Elswit, and I discovered that we had both gone to the same high school, years apart... Of course the first thing that he brought up was Mr. Jellison and what having his classes meant to him... We bonded immediately over that. It turned out that I had had Mr. Jellsion's class the year he retired, and Robert had had him his very first year. That day we excitedly looked him up, and found his phone number at his home in Maine and called him up! It was such a pleasure just to say hello to him again and find out how he was doing. I am very sad to hear of Gene's passing, and will always remember him.
