He was a superb projectionist that always provided his audiences the best performances. He also took really good care of his equipment...they never aged. Until his passing, his last booth was the MPAA in Washington, DC. Clarence was not what I consider very old (just shy of his 64th birthday) so his passing was quite a bit of a shock. There is to be a wake at: Wednesday, April 6th 6:30 - 9:00 PM at the Telegraph Station Coffee House 5735 Telegraph Road, Alexandria, VA 22303 Funeral arrangements and details for donations will be announced at a later date.  |  IP: Logged Rick Raskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1100 From: Manassas Virginia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 04-06-2011 06:09 AM                     Thanks Steve. I knew Clarence back in the day. He was really a great person and a flawless projectionist. If I remember correctly, wasn't he once president of Local 224? I'll pass this on to some others I know who were once members.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!
