IN MEMORIAM KENNETH JAMES BACON Creative Director, BOXOFFICE PRO, 2008–2019 Kenneth James Bacon, the creative director of BOXOFFICE PRO, passed away unexpectedly after a brief illness on December 20, 2019. His passing came as a tremendous shock to all of us here at BOXOFFICE PRO. Ken had served as creative director of this publication since 2008, but that title doesn’t reflect the full role he played at the magazine. That BOXOFFICE PRO is still in publication owes a great deal to Ken Bacon, who, early in his tenure, shepherded the magazine through some of its leanest years. Ken was the soul of this publication throughout the 2010s, responsible for the design and look of the magazine you are reading today. Throughout the years of our work together, Ken would occasionally mention his intention of—and excitement about—staying through the publication’s centennial anniversary in 2020. He said he wouldn’t consider retiring before having a chance to design the first issue of our second hundred years. Ken’s passing occurred on the very day we were scheduled to send this issue, precisely the first of our centennial year, to the printer. It would have been the first and only deadline Ken ever missed at BOXOFFICE PRO, but our entire staff was committed to preventing that from happening. Without access to his files, we went through great effort during a tight time frame to recover his unfinished designs for this issue. You might therefore find some rough edges in the following pages—even an odd typo or two—as we worked to finish the issue using Ken’s designs, over the holidays, to ensure a minimal delay in delivery. We felt an overwhelming sense of responsibility to complete this issue the way Ken had intended, honoring his desire to have a direct hand in the centennial. We were committed to not only release a January issue, but Ken’s January issue—his final one for the magazine. Ken had a tradition after sending each issue to the printer. He would include all of us in an email that would contain just a single sentence. Having successfully published this issue using his final designs, it feels like the perfect way to sign off in his memory: “Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis has left the building.” 2 JANUARY 2020 0120_Ad.indd 2 12/17/19 8:54 AM
