Another colorful character I wish I had made an effort to meet was the Ojai figure Beatrice Wood (I assume no relation, or at most very distant). For years I used to go by her studio and house on the way back and forth from the grounds of the Thacher School, where UCLA had a telescope field station I sometimes ministered to and where I spent six incomparably intense weeks in 1965 at a summer science program. Her sign said Beatrice Wood---Pottery Reasonable and Unreasonable. I am sure we would have hit it off. I read most of Sex and Rockets recently, a biography of Jack Parsons, so this is quite timely.
