Rick Scheckman RIP

[Richard M Roberts]

Terrible news this morning that longtime Cinephile and Syracuse Cinefest Programmer Rick "Schecky" Scheckman has passed away. He was a fine film collector and historian and had worked for David Letterman through most of Letterman's run on television at NBC and CBS. He was a friend and will definitely be missed.

Schecky had recorded a terrific interview for Mark Malkoff's Carson Podcast a few years ago, here it is:

Rest in Peace Schecky.
