I am an active and proud member of SMPTE. Not only do I respect this time-honored organization, but I am grateful -- they embrace and support all of their members in a way that has been lost in most major societies of today. Employing every mode of media, they even use Twitter to reach-out (in fact, as proof of their support of their members, my comments, Tweets and other material is re-tweeted by them on a regular basis!)
So, to all of my dear friends at SMPTE - Happy Centennial... Happy Birthday! Here's to another 100!
