[QuadList] Dave Corbitt to retire--

[Ted Langdell]

After sculpting many post production suites, long-time Post  
Production, Quad and Telecine engineer Dave Corbitt is retiring at the  
end of the week. (Officially Aug. 1, according to our friend Rob  
Linglebach on the Telecine Internet Group list).

His long career began in 1974 wrangling Ampex and RCA Quads, early  
telecine gear and building what wasn't available off the shelf for  
Telectronics International. Dave became the Eastern US Service Manager  
for Rank Cintel in 1980.

R&D at Tape House Editorial, Director of Telecine Engineering at  
Manhattan Transfer/Edit, Engineering and sales support for ITK, and  
then Thomas Electronics led back to the post world as CE of Post Logic  
Studios in New York City. Since then, he's managed sales for  
FrontNICHE's LCD monitor line, and since 2007 has been at HBO Studios  
in NYC helping turn SD facilities into HD through design and  
coordination of the constructionm manual writing and staff training.

Outside of work, Dave's learned how to "pound a good sandpile," and  
has created some amazing sand sculptures like this one:

We hope he decides to write a book about his experiences. It should be  
a fun read.

Congratulations, Dave.
