Paul Wing Passed Away


PAUL WING


Paul Wing passed away on March 7, 2002. He died peacefully in his
sleep and will be sadly missed by the international 3D-community.

Paul was a stereo enthusiast since he was young, and he will not only
be remembered for his hyper-stereos, his wonderful collection of
antique stereoviewers, his outstanding book about stereoscopes, but
also for his personality.

I feel very privileged to have known Paul for almost 15 years, he was
a true inspiration. I have lost a dear friend.

Thank you for the nice notice that you have put on the web site regarding Paul Wing. We have known him since the 1979 PSA Convention in Hartford, CT, where Paul ran the stereo den, and also put on an amazing display of his stereoscopes collection. He was an an enthusiastic supporter of Reel 3-D since the beginning, and we were privileged to be among the proofreaders of his "Stereoscopes" book while it was being written. He would send us a chapter as he finished one, and we would make comments, corrections and suggestions, and send them back. Just between us, even at that time he had
some doubts about his health, so we were quite happy, as he was also, when the book was completed. It is a wonderful book!!!! and there will probably never be another that comes close in covering this particular aspect of
stereoscopy - the history of the 1st 100 years of the stereoscope itself.

He was a dear and interesting friend, a true missionary in spreading the gospel of stereoscopy (we should correct that to say "really GOOD stereoscopy"), and really a giant in this field, both literally and figureatively!! We will miss
him, too.
