As a freshman in 1959, I was so impressed with Hal Holbrook's "Mark Twain Tonight" that I have never forgotten that performance. I think it was in Swasey Chapel. Now I know that he was only 34 at the time and had lived a lifetime of struggles. I read the excerpt of HAROLD and immediately went online to order the book from Barnes and Noble.

Having seen it several years earlier in NYC, I found him as charming and persuasive as ever. I wonder if anyone knows the whereabouts of Richie Welsbacher and Luke Utter, pictured with him. They were also terrific actors and and great persons as well, recalled from Summer Theatre days. -- Chuck Knapp '56 I went with my sister and her husband (Bart and Betty Knapp Bawden ’51) to see Hal do Mark Twain in Sacramento recently.
