Virginia Interview 1. Phone interview June 2015.

Interviewer: Thank you so much for calling me back, I know you’re busy out there running your Montessori school in San Francisco, and that’s great, congratulations. I want to take just a couple of minutes of your time like we told you, like my producer told you we’ll make it short, we hope to have more interviews and eventually maybe even get out and meet with you.

Virginia: Well I don’t know about that but I have a few minutes now.

Interviewer: Ok, well he’s, he’s fed-xing your check to you. I just want to ask you a couple of quick questions, if you could..

Virginia: Okay.

Interviewer: Tell me about how you came to know Robert Steven Scott. I know you, from our previous conversations, you refer to him as Steve. How did you come, how did you come to know Steve?

Virginia: Well we were in high school together and on the same grade level and actually being a preacher’s daughter and kind of a wall flower I always went for the underdogs so, so, yeah. I met him and we hung out together and we became sweethearts I guess you might say. We started dating.

Interviewer: Tell me about Steve.

Virginia: Well, do you want to know a little bit about his family to get a better picture of who he was?

Virginia: It was probably in the spring of 1966.

Interviewer: So you were both going your separate ways at that point?

Virginia: We basically went our separate ways, right, right.

Interviewer: Did you know that he was in prison in the late 70s in Kentucky for trafficking heroine?

Virginia: I did not know that, I did not know that at all, and was kind of really sad and shocked when I found out about it later on, much later in my life, I found out about that. But, no, I was pretty sad about that.

Interviewer: Let me ask you, we only have a few more seconds here to keep the contract obligations we promised you. What about the, what was it that actually made you go to Texas? What about the baby?

Virginia: Well uh…
