I was unsure how to contact you directly. ...Hello,<br /><br />I was unsure how to contact you directly. I am a researcher with the American Pomeroy Historic Genealogical Association in Syracuse, NY. Our organization has been researching old Hollywood special effects and sound engineering technician and director Roy Pomeroy. A few years back, we were contacted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences because they thought perhaps we could track down Roy's missing Oscar for his work on 1927's "Wings" (the first movie to win Best Picture). Roy had a fascinating life that ended tragically, and he had no descendants. I have written an article about him and was wondering if you would like to link to or repost. Here is Part I of Roy's story:<br /> <br />http://americanpomeroys.blogspot.com/2013/02/roy-jobbins-pomeroy-oscar-winner-and.html<br /> <br />Part II is also up now. We would love to gain more readership for this story and perhaps an answer to the mystery of Roy's death (which looks like a suicide) and the missing Oscar. I thought by contacting others who write about Old Hollywood, this could be a way to do it. Let me know if you are interested!<br /> <br />Thanks so much,<br /> <br />Kate Corbett Pollack<br />Kate Pollackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023680616058392248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881775616224738612.post-5959709481442154482012-12-30T15:46:17.221-05:002012-12-30T15:46:17.221-05:00I stumbled across your blog and I like the focus o...I stumbled across your blog and I like the focus on classic movies, but I haven't seen anything new in awhile.
