I got an email from a fellow in Montreal the other day who has acquired an Oxberry camera formerly owned by CanAm. The Oxberry had a Cinetron Stop Motion Camera Motor (SMCM) and a PES Automator axis motor control system. I couldn't help him with how to setup or operate the Automator and I hope that if anyone is watching with knowledge of the systems or CanAm will post it here for him.

Rejuvenated and ready to go
Well, I finally got off my can and decided that it is high time that I start keeping this blog and my website more current, interesting and informative.
You can visit the new site here
I will admit that at the time of this posting there is very little changed save the home page and the removal of all the commercial aspects of the original site. That said, I do promise in the weeks ahead to add more pictures and copy relating to Cinetron, Photography, Animation, Fishing and even more self-aggrandizing fluff.

George E Harris Passes
I recently learned that George Harris, one of the original founders of Cinetron passed away at The Villages Regional Hospital in Summerfield, Florida on December 21,2013.
George, Gene Nottingham and I were the original founders of Cinetron and although George decided to pursue other interests early in the life of the company, he returned years later and served as Sales Manager.
After retirement, he moved to his native Florida where he hosted a local television program and was active in community theater.
George was always upbeat and smiling and had a way of brightening everyone's day. All of us who knew George will miss him and our heartfelt condolences go out to his family.

Catching up
I have to admit that I have been slack about keeping this blog and my website up to date, particularly the historical piece about Cinetron. Well, in the way of an explanation ( excuse sounds too wimpy), my grandson, Jordan Shreiner is a starter on the Lees-McRae College Lacrosse team and I have been tied up photographing the games and posting them on my adjunct website: www.BobcatsLacrosse.com. Anyway, I do intend to get back with the second chapter on Cinetron soon. Until then, "GO BOBCATS"
