Wednesday, August 26, 7:00 p.m. TRIBUTE SHOW to DAVID BROMIGE Katherine Hastings presents a one-hour tribute to the late poet David Bromige. The author of dozens of books and the recipient of many literary honors, David Bromige was also a former Poet Laureate of Sonoma County, a professor at Sonoma State University, and a mentor to many. His experimental style and sharp wit translated to a large collection of work so varied that the poems could easily be mistaken as the work of many. Born in London in 1933, Bromige died in Sebastopol in June of this year. Participating in tonight's program will be his wife, Cecelia Belle, their daughter, Margaret, and others. Recordings of Bromige reading his work will also be featured.

It was rare for Hitchcock to film interiors on location. But the movie was being made during World War II, and wood, as well as many other materials, was being rationed. So, Hollywood had to do without its elaborate sets. Hitchcock ended up spending three weeks in Santa Rosa. He grew so fond of the area that he later returned to Sonoma County to shoot The Birds at Bodega Bay. He also grew very fond of Shadow of a Doubt, and in interviews he referred to it as his favorite of all the films he made. |
