Following up on the passing earlier this month of audio industry pioneer John M. Eargle, details were confirmed today for a memorial tribute to the life and work of John Eargle to take place in Los Angeles on June 14. The event will be held at the Linwood Dunn Theater of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences at the Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study, 1313 N. Vine St. (at Fountain) in Hollywood, Calif.
The event will begin at 8 p.m., with a pre-reception starting at 6:30 p.m. A number of friends and colleagues from many areas of the audio industry have been asked to speak on the personal and professional impact that Eargle had on them and the many areas of his endeavors.
