Of course projectionists don't even exist anymore (at least not for the big chains) since everything has moved to digital. But I still have a box of trailers on 35mm film that I collected over the years. I am all for improving technology and innovation, but it is sad some of the things we lose as a result.

I was a Projectionist too, not in a Theater but in Junior High School. I was in this class that handled setting up the Projectors in classrooms to show Movies and Training Films for the Teachers. It was fun and interesting setting up the Projector, Screen, and Sound. I also learned how to splice the Film when it got damaged. Saw a lot of good Movies like Mutiny on the Bounty with Clark Gable. Also some good times!
