Small world at First Wednesday

Another fine First Wednesday evening of readings. One of the readers, Tim Sproul, ends up being the son of a woman long active with the Red Octopus Theatre Co. in Newport, a group I got to know in the late 70s. I wrote a piece on them for Northwest Magazine, although my original connection is from the Univ. of Oregon, where several of them were in the 60s (although the theater group moved up from the Bay Area later). Although I can't place her, surely I met her at one of the many post-play parties I attended in those days. Was Tim even born then? I know many of the old-time literary figures in Newport, all known by him. Small world -- and a reminder of how goddamn old I am ha ha.
