It is with tremendous sadness to hear that our longtime friend, film historian, scholar and preservationist Joseph Yranski has passed away. He had a fall last week and died on Halloween.

He is responsible for many of the wonderful once lost films being found and preserved. I can’t begin to tell you how invaluable he was to all of us at the Cinecon Classic Film Festival.

It’s hard to imagine him not here.

When Kathryn Crosby attended Cinecon, she hung on close to Marvin Paige…. Or was it the other way around? In any case, she attended Cinecon and it was lovely to meet the woman whose daughter was the one who shot JR.

The wife of Bing passed away on September 20th at the age of 90.
Our condolences to her family.
