He was my Grandma's brother (my great-Uncle)...John Otto Mayer, he was 86. An exerpt from his obit: He was an electronic engineer with CBS Television, New York City for 41 years, retiring in 1991. John won 4 Emmy Awards, One for the first black and white slow motion picture and received another when it was made into a color motion picture, and two for sports editing.
Instant replay...what a great invention. I never got to know him. But his passing made me sad, because noone in my family ever mentioned him, and that's a surprise, because of my interest in video/tv/film....and my love of slow motion.
I just feel good about knowing that there was someone in my family who had a knack for this stuff.
EDIT: and read the rest of the obit by clicking on either of the above links....the dude was solid. proud to be related.
