Ken Happe (1934-2013) gave a Bloomsday-related talk when WCPA was still in the PASOW building. He had been invited by Laura Menides; his topic was The Odyssey and the Homeric parallels with Ulysses. The talk was very well attended and well received. The only downside was that our space on Chatham Street tended to be a little swampy at the best of times and that June evening was beyond hot: it was sweltering. Ken heroically stayed the course. He occasionally joined us at Bloomsday sites over the years. It was always a pleasure to have him read (or guide others in reading) the passages in Latin, Italian, and other languages. He was a lovely man.
