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.
