More Quaid memories
John Harris, formerly of the American Statesman, writes in response to the XL cover story on movie star and new Austinite Dennis Quaid:
Enjoyed your story on Dennis Quaid’s early years. You knew him in college; I knew him mostly in elementary school and in our neighborhood and shared what might have been a couple of his first performances: traipsing around the playground during recess in probably the first grade, arm in arm, pretending to be drunk and singing “How Dry I Am� with fake hiccups; and performing in a fourth-grade play about none other than the Alamo. I last saw him in 1982 at our 10-year Bellaire High reunion, where he was friendly and down to earth and gracious, as you described.
