In Memoriam: John L. Goodell

John L. Goodell, a long-time SMPTE member and important mainstay of the San Francisco Section, has died at the age of 68. For four decades as a Section manager, webmaster, and support resource, SMPTE benefitted from Goodell’s generous use of his time to organize and run local Section meetings, as well as assist in the organization of national conferences held in San Francisco. For years, every San Francisco Section monthly meeting notice depended on Goodell’s knowledge and application of data processing, printing, and later, web design. At Section meetings requiring extensive audiovisual and test gear, members could always count on his well-stocked van and seemingly unlimited technical knowledge to provide the needed solutions.
