Subject: Kathleen Archer


Kathleen’s answers are my first attempt at doing an interview through email and I think after this, I may not attempt it again! In getting to know someone’s story, sometimes the written questions are simply a jumping-off point and many statements need clarification. But I wanted to include her interview anyway because I think she says some interesting things and don’t we all hope to surround ourselves with people who are interesting, who challenge us, and who make us think?
