Creative Writing Class with Richard Speakes?

from the diary: “Friday 2/5/88

Among other classes I “signed up for Creative Writing with Richard Speakes, which meets Monday eves at Analy. Don’t know which room – for room number on my print-out all it says is Analy. Helpful, so helpful.”

Analy is the high school in Sebastopol, the town where I was living.
