Leonard Matlovich and Stumptown Annie’s

Leonard Matlovich was a big patron of poetry, We used to produce the Russian River Writers’ Guild poetry reading series at his Stumptown Annie's Pizza Parlour in Guerneville (ca. 1983? He sold Stumptown Annie’s in Jan of 1984. Need date), Bobby Kaufman was on The River in those days—pretty strung out but Leonard was ever the gracious host. In his honey-sweet Savannah drawl, Leonard once told me that J Edgar Hoover was a cross-dresser! Things like that.
