[Frameworks] RIP Gene Youngblood

[Nicole Baker Peterson]

To Jane and the greater Frameworks community,

My condolences to all. We lost an important member of the moving image
world recently and I for one am so grateful that I had the opportunity to
interact with Gene to the small degree being part of this listserv allowed.
Thank you everyone for sharing your memories and thoughts to the list.
