Background data on our visitors have been appropriated, gratefully, from reliable sources on the Web. Quotes in italics and within quotation marks have been lifted piecemeal from easily verifiable online sources. So, for selected facts and direct quotations culled for these sketches, we’re beholden to journalists’ features about, and interviews with, our invitees.
The excerpts have not been pre-authorized by the guests. The free use of such cultural materials is permitted, however, under copyright law. Those excerpts appear here for educational, comparative, and intellectual purposes.
Nonetheless if our bold-face visitors happen to read these tales, kindly excuse the liberties I’ve taken with your personas, actions, and words. Plainly, for two retirees like Barb and me (a septuagenarian bloke), life’s too momentary to hang out with people we don’t value. At the risk of coming across here as vapidly hagiographic, we don’t invite people to our house to critique them. |
