From my personal archives, I have decided to share this interview I did in 1981. It is brief, perhaps only 20 mins but I have added some cues that relate to what we talked about. Knowing what we know now, in 2019, some of the answers are interesting. Please forgive my voice and geeked/nerdish commentary as you listen. I was a star struck 24 year old. Please download and listen at your convenience. Enjoy!
