This is truly sad and horrible news, Ron Hutchison of The Vitaphone Project has passed away today. He was one of the major forces in film preservation with the Vitaphone Project and a genuinely nice man, and our community suffers a terrible loss from his passing.
It was due to his diligent efforts that many early sound films have returned to view with soundtracks reattached, he was one of the folk who got things done, without huge personal crowing or ego-boo, he cared about the films and just wanted them to be seen again.
Our condolences to his Family and friends, and our hope is that there are worthy people around to pick up the torch and continue the good work.
