Things Undone

One project that my wife, Sue, didn't complete before she died in August was a documentary about Montana's acerbic radical, the late Elsie Fox. A few years ago Sue, and Margot Kidder, and cameraman Rob Massee, traveled to Miles City to record a series of interviews with Fox, intended for PBS down the line.

It never got further. A few days ago, Margot contacted me, wondering about the tapes, whether they were among Sue's possessions, and I was able to track them down. They are safe and available for anyone wanting to tackle the narrative. Maybe that would be a good project for me. I can't read much any more, but I can watch tapes and maybe form a coherent story of Fox's life and beliefs and struggles.
