Author Topic: How about a way to memorialize our past FILM-TECH members? Paul Goulet Master Film Handler Posts: 347 From: Rhode Island Registered: Jan 2000 posted 08-13-2005 10:33 AM                        I was thinking last night (sometimes i do silly things like that) and was wondering how we could memorialize our past FILM-TECH members who have died, and I came up with the idea of how about a Guest Book type of thing like they have on Legacy.com where people write (hopefully) nice things about the person who is listed there..I even came up with a name for it, How about "Who the Heck WERE you?..A special guest book to remember our past FILM-TECH friends" I would even help get it started if need be..Anyone like the idea?  |  IP: Logged Floyd Justin Newton Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 559 From: Phoenix, Arizona, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 08-13-2005 11:56 AM                     Sounds like a great idea to me. Shall I be the first to croak?  |  IP: Logged Paul Goulet Master Film Handler Posts: 347 From: Rhode Island Registered: Jan 2000 posted 08-13-2005 12:00 PM                        quote: Floyd Justin Newton Sounds like a great idea to me.

I will give it some consideration.  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: California, U.S.A.

I was thinking something along the lines of a tastefully prepared FT shirt with names on the back or something perhaps? A commerative item available only once every 2 years perhaps? Just talkin' here...Good idea though.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-13-2005 04:20 PM                     How many film tech members have died anyway? I'm only aware of Paul. And I'm talking about regulars, not a lurker.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-13-2005 04:40 PM                  Yeah, I agree with Mike. Of course though, when I'm dead and rotting in my grave, I *MAY* feel different. At any rate, the suggested thread/forum title sounds more like something for those that are retired, fired, or laid-off.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!

Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-13-2005 05:53 PM                     David would be the most recent to have passed away. Hopefully, it would not be that "popular" a place...just a memorium.  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-13-2005 09:11 PM                     Possibly a PAGE OF HONOR or just an IN MEMORIAM page with pictures and a brief text. Possibly someone who knew that person exceptionally well could write something. I don't think it should be open to public posting.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-13-2005 09:38 PM                     I completely agree with Marks idea. Its simple and would be a nice thig to have. I nominate Madame Rachel to write Pauls Memorium.

I think Josh would be better suited for that. Or maybe different members that knew the person could all add something.  |  IP: Logged Andrew Duggan Expert Film Handler Posts: 127 From: Albany, NY, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 08-16-2005 12:01 AM                        Wow, I've been away from the forum for quite a while (nearly a year, jesus!) and I wasn't aware that Paul had passed until just now, reading this. That's very sad. His quick help with a problem I had first posted on here when I was new was one of the things that really made me begin to use this site as a learning resource.  |  IP: Logged
