Members and Friends of the New York Stereoscopic Society, 

I know that many of you will be concerned to hear 
that David Hutchison passed away this morning.  
He died peacefully after a brave and difficult 
battle with pancreatic cancer.  He was 53 years old.

Our April 14 meeting included a special tribute to 
Hutch in recognition of his contributions to our 
Society.  Many of his friends were able to attend, 
and he was pleased as ever to be surrounded by 3D 
enthusiasm. He was tickled by the gold-plated 
polarizing glasses that we presented to him as 
the Founder's Trophy.

David was a source of expert advice, unlimited 
connections and years of experience in all things 3D. 
His book Fantastic 3D is a must read for any student 
of 3D in pop culture. He was a friend and mentor to 
many budding stereo photographers. His service on 
the board of the National Stereoscopic Association, 
his years of participation in the Stereoscopic 
Society of America folios, and his awards from 
photography clubs around the world will surely make 
a place for him in the 3D Pantheon. Besides all this, 
he had two other successful careers as an editor of 
Starlog magazine and as a member of the company of 
the Metropolitan Opera. 

Most important, he was a thoughtful, decent and caring 
person who will be sorely missed.
