Although a sensitive government position required him to keep a low-profile throughout his adult career, Bill Shearer's recent retirement has allowed him to return to a favorite pursuit: live performance theater. Here he offers a soliloquy from Othello at the Ligure Theatre in Oakland during their arts and performances festival last week. Judges awarded Bill the "Best of Show" ribbon. His wife (Stan's sister Sosie), is pleased at this new found stage success, but hopes it won't cut into his work on the backyard patio project.
