"This was quite an opportunity for me and your manner of asking questions of me was wonderful - I felt that you truly wanted to know what I had to say, and more came out than I realized."
"Susan is a delightful interviewer bringing authentic interest and flexibility to the oral history interview experience. I loved working with Susan and I love the result as well. Brava!"
"I have to thank you. You had me looking at corners of my mind and memory I've not recently visited. More, you elicited in me the desire to be honest, to stop and fully recall, to tell it as straight as I could. I attribute this candid quality of our interview to your gracious, open curiosity. You showed a quality of listening I find provocative, in the very best way. Yesterday was surprisingly thoughtful for me."
"Thank you hugely for all the time and trouble and expertise and artistic acumen that you invested in my story. I’m sure it turned out to be more interesting in your hands than it has ever been in mine!
I hope that, when I’m long gone, I will still be talking to the young women a hundred years down the road about life in the 21st Century. And I know that they will recognize your brilliant guidance behind all the 'Do Ask, Do Tell' interviews as a gift from the past to the future."
"Spending time with you was easy. Blessings!"
"Thank you for your dedication to our voices."
"I feel so very fortunate that the two of us connected at this time of life for us both. I cannot imagine a better collaborator—there was such an instant connection between us and your preparation and acute questions drew more from me than I could possibly have imagined. What you’re achieving could not be more important generationally and at this time in our country. I so look forward to seeing what we’ve created together… and continuing our friendship."
"Hey thank you for the time together Tuesday. You are smart and charming and a real pro. You also made me feel special as a human and as the kids say made me "feel seen" as a worthy lesbian. Thank you for the great experience and for including my senior citizen toddler ass!"
"Thank you for doing G-d's work."
"You are a superb interviewer! You gave me a gift.Thank you! I'm so glad you're putting all this together and will happily look forward to exploring all the other interviewees and let's be in touch as you head to Palm Springs."
