Dear friends, As most of you know, our dear friend Bob Gravenor moved to Spain last year after being a sound mixer in Los Angeles for many years. Bob has worked on many features since the 70's and on commericals for the last 15 or 20 years, which is where I had the good fortune to meet him. He has also served as president of IATSE Local 695, which is the sound and video local, and was on the board of directors of CAS.

There was an error in the credit listings for "Rush Hour 3" in that, my name was mistakenly placed with Jeff Wexler's under Production Sound Mixer for the main unit. With help from Bob Maxfield and a thumbs-up from Jeff, I wound up mixing three days on a "Stunt/Additional Photog. Unit"; Very exciting indeed, yet, it does not give any green light to say 'I did the sound for the movie'. That credit belongs to Jeff, Don Coufal, Robert Maxfield, and the support staff that assisted them in the U.S. and Europe. To be credited this way overshadows the fine work that this team consistently performs, and it's just not fair to Jeff. In our profession we all know it's nice to ha…
