I was the Union relief Projectionist back in the 80’s. The last full time Projectionist was a Union man by the name of Don Shimshock. I lost contact with most of the Union men because local 577 folded sometime in the 90’s. I do remember that the projectors were Simplex E-7’s and we still ran 20 minute reel to reels, Panatar Scope lens and Carbon arc Lamp houses. I think the last movie I projected there was Richard Pryor’s “Live on the Sunset Strip”.
