Author Topic: Hadden Theatre Supply closes Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 09-10-2011 02:05 PM                     I echo the sentiments of everyone above me. While we've only had one conversation on the phone, I know your contributions here have been invaluable. I hope you remain an active member of this community. Oh, and definitely enjoy your retirement! I'm sure you deserve it!  |  IP: Logged Robert Koch Film Handler Posts: 93 From: Williams Ca USA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 09-10-2011 06:35 PM                     Louis: I met you quite a few years ago at the ranch in the Lucas Valley in Marin County years ago during the TAP days.{Lucas Valley was there when I was a kid and long before Geo. was a spar in his Pappy`s eye. I certainly enjoyed talking to you and really could tell you had been thru the mill. Enjoy your retirement even though Sam says "we`re no really entitled to a real life since we chose this business".I`m 89 now and have been retired for quite a few years. About the only fun I have now is bugging Brad about his villification of the long dead designers of Rotary Stabilizer soundheads.  |  IP: Logged Cameron Glendinning Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 845 From: West Ryde, Sydney, NSW Australia Registered: Dec 2005 posted 09-10-2011 08:46 PM                     Best Wishes Louis, You have picked the perfect time to retire! Enjoy  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-11-2011 10:01 AM                     Happy Retirement  |  IP: Logged Tony Gallimore Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: Willis, Virginia, USA Registered: Jul 2009 posted 09-11-2011 12:00 PM                     Louis, One of the happiest moves I ever made was to retire, but I also greatly miss it too. Maybe you should hang onto your voltmeters, soldering iron and a few spare parts just in case NASA's prediction about the coming magnetic storms wiping out electronics proves to be true. We may be firing up those old outdated 35mm's after all! Good Luck and Best Wishes!  |  IP: Logged Brian Guckian Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 594 From: Dublin, Ireland Registered: Apr 2003 posted 09-11-2011 03:25 PM                     Sounds like you're beginning your Third Act, Louis! Best wishes for this new chapter - "retirement"? - pah!  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 09-11-2011 03:48 PM                     I hope one day I can retire with such a distinguished career. Enjoy every bit of it!

You were a great asset, and helped me out of a few pinches.

Hadden and yourself were always a great help to me while working at my former employer. It was a pleasure meeting you at the TOI conference and talking with you on the phone.
