The 1997 class also lost a *Two Gents* student to early departure,
though the particular circumstances were quite different. But it was
a humbling summer, all around.
Yet additional congrats to Michael!

Subject: Re: [Weeklong-l] Midnight in Paris
A Paul Harvey thing here, "the real story" about Owen. He arrived one
day and left the next. I provided, demanded, the exit once I
discovered (from his mother and the UT police) that he was using
Winedale as a hideout from families and legal authorities seeking him
for getting a girl pregnant. Nothing at all to do with lines. Only
moral responsibility. The folklore about his connection with
Shakespeare at Winedale should dissolve, disappear. He was never
there.

Famously (or infamously in our circles), Owen
Wilson was a Winedale
student very briefly in the summer of 1989. (Madge and I were both
there that summer.) He opted to leave rather than learn his lines --
we handled it.
It's hard not to feel a bit ambivalent about him even now (in case
you
were wondering how long I hold a grudge), but he has shown some great
charm in some of his movies. (Of course, people feel ambivalent about
Woody Allen too. And even about Paris!)

Meant to write on Sunday after seeing the picture Saturday
night—9:30 screening, sold out, as were the two preceding
screenings.
Loved the movie—full of charm and smitten with Paris. Most fun out
at
the movies in a long while. Congratulations, Michael. xxxm
