There followed over the years a Filmo 70-D, two Filmo magazine cameras, a Cine-Kodak Special I and finally a C-K Special II and a C-K Magazine camera. The latter two comprise the present Gunnell working equipment. But, as it should be, the make or model of camera used apparently had little bearing on what their operator was to bring from them. As of today Mr. Gunnell has placed thirteen times in ACL's Ten Best contest, including While The Earth Remaineth, Maxim Memorial Award winner in 1945; he has won the annual contest of the MMPC four times, a unique record in that club; he has placed pictures nine times on MMPC Gala Show programs, seven times on gala programs of the Brooklyn Amateur Cine Club, and five times in the motion picture division of Tops in Photography — an annual exhibition by the Metropolitan Camera Club Council, a New York still-picture group. As if these contributions to the cause were not enough, Mr. Gunnell has shared generously of his filming skills both in and out of formal membership in photo groups. He has been a member of the ACL since 1931. the MMPC since 1933, the Staten Island Cinema Club since 1936. the Staten Island Camera Club since 1944 and the Photographic Society of America since 1945. His lectures and demonstrations in the field of amateur filming are too numerous to name. But, as a few samples, he conducted in 1943 and again in 1944 two complete courses in movie making for novice members of MMPC; he has been a guest lecturer at more than a score of cine clubs in Connecticut. New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia; he has contributed more than two-score articles on amateur filming to Movie Makers, U. S. Camera, Trailer Travel, PSA Journal, Photo Almanac and New York newspaper photo-columns, and he has produced documentary and educational films for the Staten Island Museum and the Staten Island Historical Society, thus serving the community in which he lives and is a teacher. Honors in grateful recognition of these tireless efforts have been many and continuing. Beginning with his elevation to the Fellowship of ACL in 1942, Mr. Gunnell has been named an Honorary Life Member of the Brooklyn Amateur Cine Club in 1945, an Associate of PSA in 1947, a Fellow and life member of the Staten Island Institute of Arts and Sciences in 1948, a Companion of the Oval Table Society in 1949, an Honorary Life Member of the New York Color Slide Club in 1951. an Honorary Life Member of the Washing ton (D. C. ) Society of Cinematographers in 1952 — and now, a director and vicepresident of the Amateur Cinema League. Frank Gunnell began the life which was to lead to such laurels forty seven years ago in New York's borough of Richmond. That he still lives there, however, is no indication of the stayat-home. For the Gunnell family (comprising, besides him, his wife Alberta and a 20 year old son Donald) are inveterate travelers. Fifteen cross-country trips, as well as journeys to Canada, Mexico. Bermuda and the West Indies, lie behind this compact and congenial group. Shared also are their triumvirate interests in flora, fauna and amateur filming. The familiar Gunnell production signature is a happy emblem of this community of interest. Drawing a syllable from the first name of each, it reads: Al-Fra-Don Productions present ... To the relief, perhaps, of countless despairing contestants, this symbol will now be seen no more in Ten Best competition. WALTER BERGMANN, FACL Walter Bergmann began making amateur movies so long ago (1932) that his first camera was a 9.5mm. Pathex, then still being imported from France. But the advent of the 8mm. system in that same year soon killed American interest in 9.5. Mr. Bergmann switched to Sixteen with a Cine-Kodak Model K, and later with a Cine-Kodak Special, which is still his current camera. A resident of Mount Vernon, N. Y., Mr. Bergmann was a founder member in 1934 of the Mount Vernon Movie Makers — a club which he has served variously as vicepresident and president, and where more than eight of his pictures have won awards in that group's annual contests. His placements in the ACL Ten Best Contest began in 1943 with A Day at the Zoo and continued with As Ye Soiv, 1944; Squeaky, 1945; Squeaky s Kittens, 1946; Behind the Red Feather, 1947, and Young Fella, 1948. Ever one to share his filming skills with others, Mr. Bergmann has been a frequent contributor to Movie Makers, Popular Photography, American Cinematographer, Science Illustrated, Everybody's, The National Humane Review and several newspaper photo-columns. Mr. Bergmann first joined the Amateur Cinema League in 1940. In 1947 he was named to its Fellowship with a directorial citation which concluded: "Good amateur and good citizen, he has
