This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Well, the night I did the "pre-interview" about six weeks ago, he was in
town to work (all day) on a documentary. Some of these go directly to
television, I gather, so you might not have heard of them. His wife,
Laura, is a documentary film-maker, and in fact gave me one of hers on
tape, "Fit," about the fitness industry. I haven't had a chance to watch
it yet. The one she is working on now involves persons with
disabilities. And yes, one of their 13-year-old twin daughters has spina
bifida and will never walk, except with leg-braces and crutches. She
gets around pretty well though, and certainly doesn't need a full-time
"retired" parent. Besides, during the school year, both girls are in
(different) schools.
