Your end bit, "They wan't ask the right questions," is the stumbling block for me. I have seen too many interviews wherein I didn't think the right questions were asked of the guest. Given the right questions and being allowed the time I would probably talk about growing up through the "depression" and living cheerfully in spite of it. My wife Heather and I meeting and falling in love ? She was the baby sitter for my best friends kids, someone else's date at a skating party. He was a shy guy and didn't pay the attention to her that I thought was due a date, so Heather and I skated the whole evening together - which began my interest in skate dancing - she was so good, so expert and so patient - such a great gal all around that my love for was totally inevitable and almost instantaneous. But what audience would want to hear about something so prosaic as that ?
