'Your real name is David Webb.'
so i just finished 'elsinor' a week ago and decided to google charles webb to see what's up with him and find out he had just died :'
he wrote 'the graduate' shortly after graduating williams college, bought a house in williamstown, then gave it away to a bird sanctuary

i've tried to find the bird sanctuary it (people magazine circa 1988) mentions and there is a sort of bird sanctuary out on hancock road up in the taconic mountains bordering ny called forbush wildlife sanctuary
curiously, the robinsons had a house way out on hancock road near my uncle loyd
'Their second son, David, was born in 1967 in Laguna Beach, Calif., where they were living at Webb’s parents’ house. Three years later they purchased a $65,000 home in Williamstown, but, after a few weeks, decided to give that one away too, to the Audubon Society. '

no i called mass audubon and left a message i havent found the location yet probably the audubon society sold the property for funds
idk where it was located which makes it all more intriguing to me
'david webb' was jason bourne's real name in robert ludlum's ' the bourne ultimatum'
'They headed back East, this time to Williamstown, Mass., where they paid $65,000 cash for a spacious three-story brick house. Within a matter of days, they gave it to the Massachusetts Audubon Society. ("I wish we knew why we felt so uncomfortable with it," Fred says today.)'

'President-elect Donald Trump registered eight companies during his presidential campaign that appear to be tied to hotel interests in Saudi Arabia, according to a report in The Washington Post.
Trump registered the companies in August 2015, shortly after launching his presidential bid, according to The Post.
The companies were registered under names such as THC Jeddah Hotel and DT Jeddah Technical Services, according to financial disclosure filings.'
