In last week’s column, I addressed my role as an interviewer over my 50-year career. Here are some of the notable people I’ve had the privilege of interviewing.
Maine’s own Joan Benoit Samuelson won the gold medal for the marathon in the 1984 Summer Olympics. I wrote an article about Joan for Yankee magazine. Joan is a gem, as everyone who has ever met her already knows. I also interviewed Dave Wottle, gold medalist for the 800 meter run in the 1972 Olympics. Dave, who was dean of Admissions at Rhodes College when I met him, was the guy who wore the floppy painter’s hat when he ran.
