Early in the story, Streeter is asked who he'd like to "do the dirty to" and mentions a Mrs. Denbrough who puts her garbage out in the street or something like that. I'm almost certain that Denbrough is Stuttering Bill's surname in It, and both stories take place in Derry (which is a town that, if it existed, I would NEVER go!). So, since it's been many years since I've read It, I wonder if Stuttering Bill's mother could still be alive, or did Bill and his wife move back to Derry?

I'd wager a guess and say it's probably Bill's mom. I really doubt Bill would move back.
My guess, too. I just forget if It ended with their memories starting to fade again, or with them managing to keep their promises to remember, or if Bill maybe replaced Mike as the group's watchman. Either way, I really enjoy how some books make cameo appearances in other books.

Could be. Or could be no relation at all--just the same last name :)
