Oberon Shakespeare Study Group

Tom Townsend in Seattle, WA Tom and Joy Townsend are settling into their new life in Seattle. They plan to close on a home in the upper Queen Anne area on July 2, and they had lunch with several members of the Seattle Shakespeare Oxford Society yesterday. Tom said: The SSOS is made up of great, smart, well-read people (just like Oberon!). Joy and I enjoyed speaking with each of them.  . . . Meetings for the rest of the year have been planned. There is a lot of Shakespeare performed (I’m told) here in Seattle. Some were discussing having meetings just before or after these performances. Even the weather has been welcoming! Tom reported: Since we’ve been here the temps have been in the mid 60s to low 70s since we arrived on   May 15 . There has been scant rain!  We continue to miss everyone from the Oberon group and wish everyone the best. It's good to hear from our good friends and good to know they are enjoying their adventure in the northwest. Internatio...

Tom and Joy Townsend Oberons said goodbye last night to our great friends Tom and Joy Townsend who depart May 9 for Seattle, Washington. Tom has served as treasurer of Oberon since its very first meeting in 1999 until he relinquished his treasury duties to serve as co-chair and chair of Oberon for the past two years. Tom's charm and intelligence have been mainstays of our Michigan band and we will miss him and Joy more than we can say. But they have already been welcomed by the Seattle Oxfordian contingent, and Tom is scheduled to present a paper at the Seattle Shakespeare Oxford Society . Words cannot express our deepest wishes for their very great happiness in their new home. We all celebrated Shakespeare's 450th UN-birthday together with a delicious UN-birthday cake!
