Since John's death from cancer this year, there has been talk of setting up some sort of educational fund in John's name.

Steve Hallat of Eastman Kodak sent this message to some of us a few days ago:

Steve Hallat:
____

I finally obtained the requested information regarding the Memorial Fund established for John Pytlak.

Checks can be submitted to the following name and address:

George Eastman House
Motion Picture Preservation Department
900 East Avenue
Rochester, NY 14607
Attention: Ms. Caroline Yeager

The check should indicate that it is "In Memory of John Pytlak".

This is a note to Steve Hallat from Caroline Yeager:

We’ve given the matter some thought and we believe the John Pytlak Memorial Fund should be designated to help support a worthy student or students in The L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation each year. They are the future of our profession. What better way to remember John’s work and his many contributions to the field than by investing in its future? This fund would be the first of its kind for the school and would help cover a student’s costs for tuition and living expenses during their school year. This would be a great benefit to them.

We sincerely hope that you and John’s colleagues and friends will agree with us.

All the best,
Caroline
