Death
Goldwyn passed away in the early 1990s
Memories
Many Caidans were members of Past Tymes with Good Company, a historical entertainment troupe founded by Baroness Aurelia of Ashton. Goldwyn was an important part of that group, participating in trips to the United Kingdom, around the United States (and its territories... Guam, for instance). On the first tour of England, in 1988 (the 400th anniversary of the defeat of the Armada), there was a two-day performance at Coombe Sydenham, the ancestral home of Mrs Francis Drake. After the last visitor was gone, the owner put on a feast in the huge pavillion in the garden. Two fallow deer contributed excellent roasts of venison, and there was more than a little beer. After dinner, there was some casual singing and story telling, and Goldwyn performed his "Report on the Spanish Expedition of '92". The tune was hauntingly familiar, but not until the beginning of the refrain, "It's a New World after all!" did we realize that it was a veeeeeery slow arrangement of the classic Disney "Small World" melody.
