Talk:Ken Grimwood

message: I don't know how many "Ken Grimwoods" there are in Santa Barbara, but a Ken Grimwood wrote a letter to the editor: 
:"Getting Those Nasty Butts Off the Streets Los Angeles Times August 31, 2002 Saturday"
:As an ex-smoker, I am also disgusted by the idea of thousands of cigarette butts littering the streets and ultimately being swept into the ocean ("Litterbugs and Butts," letter, Aug. 26). I am confused, however, about what smokers in largely pedestrian areas such as Westwood, Venice, the promenades in Santa Monica and Pasadena, and State Street in Santa Barbara are supposed to do with their smoldering butts.
:Your letter writer suggests putting them in trash cans. Just how many trash fires per block would he like to see on an average day?
:On a recent trip to Sydney, Australia, I noticed that the city has placed hotel-style ashtrays filled with sand on sidewalks throughout the central business district and the historic area called "the Rocks." Smokers obviously use them; I almost never saw cigarette butts crushed out on the streets or sidewalks in this delightfully clean and friendly city.
:I know it may smack of "enabling" to rabidly anti-smoking Californians, but if we really want to keep the streets clean of this noxious litter, it might be a good idea to give smokers (including many foreign tourists) a safe and handy place to dispose of their used cigarettes.
:Ken Grimwood
:Santa Barbara 
Interesting if it was in fact Grimwood who wrote this letter.
In this article:

a Ken Grimwood, also from Santa Barbara is listed as someone to contact to help the victims of the earthquake, with a phone number for Direct Relief International in Goleta, California.

...It's a 'Replay' for Roberts, Pitt
Julia Roberts is in negotiations to come aboard Warner Bros.' "Replay," which could reteam Roberts with Brad Pitt, her co-star in DreamWorks' upcoming "The Mexican." In January, Roberts and Pitt are slated to begin Warner Bros.' remake of "Ocean's Eleven." "Replay," based on the novel by Ken Grimwood, is about a 43-year-old man who dies of a heart attack, then wakes up as himself in college to correct mistakes, one of which includes a lost love (Roberts). He keeps dying on the same date and coming back to start from scratch -- his memory of the previous experiences intact -- as he falls in and out of love during the various replays...

message: Ken was a classmate at a fine boarding school near Birmingham Al named Indian Springs School and am very surprised this isnt listed in his bio. It is the same school of the famous Hollywood director John Badham.
I also attended the Sorbonne in a summer course in 1961 with Ken and I see this isnt mentioned.
I feel both the boarding school and the time in Paris had to have made a big difference in his life and am very surprised this isnt listed.
Ken graduated Indian Springs School in Alabama in 1961 and is one of the top quality prep schools in the nation.

replies: text: Such facts need to have sources. Perhaps you could check and see if Grimwood's name is in a list of alumni published by the Indian Springs School, or classes at the Sorbonne in 1961. Otherwise, it is just hearsay if someone else hasn't published it in an article in a Reliable Source on Grimwood, for instance.  Perhaps a journal about his kind of writing?Parkwells (talk) 13:53, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
