Bruce was always a gracious helpful voice ready willing and able to share his vast experiences. Gone far too soon. Never had a chance to meet Bruce although we communicated on various topics at times over the years. Tremendous loss for all of us. Condolences to his family.
I only met Bruce once -- Big Camera Day on the Plaza (Sante Fe years ago). I had my Zone VI 8x10 set up on the Plaza and he took an interest in it, so like with other looky-Lous, I offered him a look at the GG. He chuckled and mentioned that he had looked thru a few -- then said he was checking out the camera to see if it was one he put together (serial number is post-Bruce). We talked about the challenges he had when hired by Fred to take-over the lagging production of the Zone VI-made cameras. Great guy!
I do not know if he is in this image of that day -- I only had a 300mm lens back then. He might have been behind me trying to help figure out how to get the 20x24 Polaroid camera working (the dry climate was causing light leaks).

RIP, sir.
