| As Carolyn Hunt ’68 wrote, following our report in the last issue of the death of super titlist Jim Blewer ’41: “How sad that we won’t get any more Blewer titles!” But the rest of the twisted family is stepping up. The motivations are varied. “I’m trying to get more titles published than my father,” says Elaine Hamill ’80. William Whitaker ’42 thinks his submissions are worthy—“And, what’s more, so does my granddaughter!” Speaking of generations, Gene Smith ’34 is still twisting 67 years after graduation, while Dafna Hopenstand, Class of 2000, says: “I’m hoping to infuse some young blood into the column.” Whatever infuses your blood, send your titles of books, plays, songs, or sayings, changing one letter only (usually) and adding a snappy underline, to Twisted Titles, California Monthly, Alumni House, Berkeley 94720. The Title title comes from the nicely dressed Cam Girard Corbin ’64. |
