After 44 years and thousands of events on campus, technical specialist/audio engineer John Templeton is retiring.
BOULDER — Unless you are intimately familiar with the inner workings of the University of Colorado, you likely don't know the name John Templeton.
But if you have attended even a few events on campus over the years — from football games to the Conference on World Affairs to major concerts to poetry readings — you have almost assuredly seen and/or heard Templeton's work.
Templeton is technically a "senior technical director/audio engineer" for the university.
In reality, he is the guy whose vast reservoir of knowledge in the areas of sound, stage lighting, production and photography have made him an invaluable resource to every department on campus at one time or another for decades, and a legend in the business as well.
