>Catherine Mulholland, who was Jack Spicer's one and only ever wife, albeit briefly, has passed away. She was the grand daughter of William Muholland, the engineer and powerbroker, who oversaw the construction of the controversial 230 mile aqueduct that brought water from the Owens Valley to Los Angeles. (Think "Chinatown" & you get some of the picture). A UC Berkeley grad she was apparently attracted to - or was attract to - aesthetic power brokers . In addition to Spicer, starting in late youth she became a lifelong friend of Charles Mingus and was friendly with many of the Beat poets, Ginsberg et al.
