ABSTRACT

The interviews with Joe and discussions with Charlotte took place over a long weekend, April 16–18, 2010, in Bethesda and Annapolis. Sandy and I worked for several months outlining the scope and questions for the interviews, and carefully considered approaches to interviewing. Everyone, including Joe, was nervous about what the interview material would reveal. We were surprised at various junctures to discover that certain experiences did not have the impact on Joe that we had imagined.
