Happy Heavenly B-Day, Nick.
I miss your physical presence,
I am so glad I have these 8-mm video clips to watch occasionally. I fondly remember hanging out in the projection booth at the Laemmle Sunset 5 Theater, the Aero Theater, and the Egyptian. It felt so special to watch the unique process of a maestro projectionist at work. You were considered one of the best. I remember you telling me that you were requested by great film directors, like William Friedkin, and others asked that you only project their movies. It was neat to see and nerd out on the original 35mm film canisters on Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 Space Odyssey, Friedkin’s “The French Connection, “ Scorsese’s “Taxi Driver,” and many more. Lots have changed; we're in a hybrid world now, a shift from film to digital; some directors, like Tarantino, Nolan, PTA, and others, are film purists.
Myself and other dear friends miss your brilliant mind, exceptional wisdom and knowledge on any subject, and unique sense of humor.
Perhaps you're hosting a celestial bash, drinking your favorite whiskey, swapping stories, playing chess and poker games until the wee hours, or just reading some epic fiction or something off the beaten path… miss you, my friend, ❤️
