I went to Ashland every summer from '78 to '82 and Kyle M. did the 1982
Ashland season.  He was Romeo in Romeo & Juliet, and was also in Julius
Ceasar.  This was his first national break (i.e. outside Seattle), and
the next year he was cast as Paul Atreides and began filming for that.
I still have the program for it, he hasn't changed much in 8 years.

I flew back on the same plane with him from Ashland (actually Medford) to
Seattle.  I was too chicken to ask for his autograph -- too bad huh?

Also, while I'm name dropping, a friend of mine works with Kyle's brother
at an accounting firm in Seattle.  We all dressed up as T.P characters
for Halloween, and she's forwarding these pictures via the brother to Kyle.
Maybe David Lynch will see them and want us to appear in some guest-
starring roles :-)
