Another article from the WSJ

RIP Ms. Fine.

I read the WSJ article earlier today. What a classy person she was.

Hadn't heard of WCF's passing until I read about it yesterday in the French
magazine Classica/Répertoire. Should have been reading this forum with
more attention. RIP.

Note added (quoting from the NYT obituary):

"they experimented with recording on 35-millimeter film instead of on magnetic recording tape."

This seems to imply that this medium was not magnetic tape. Of course it was, only with added
width and perforations for synchronizing with the pictures. The same funny wording was quoted
in the magazine I read yesterday.

Nice obit in the NYT. Never knew about her before but I'm sure glad she existed. RIP, Ms. Fine.

I thought I had written about her at the time of her passing but it might have been in another room.

She and her husband Bob Fine were with Mercury for many years. She was not only innovative and had great ears but the first woman in that kind of position.

I still listen to her work on an almost daily basis. She will be sorely missed!

What greater a tribute, than that her works are still being enjoyed and sought after. Who of us can say any of our life works will be remembered even 1 year after we are gone. Her contributions will continue to bring pleasure.
