Terry,
Once again you have asked the right questions to evoke very personal answers that reflect the character of the interviewee. I'm not sure which of you I am correcting below.

Sue, Oh that's on Gary. LOL, an Interviewer is only responsible for spags in the questions. I am pretty sure that is in the interviewer's handbook written by Barbara Walters. Thank you for reading and reviewing. Terry.

This is a great interview, and the man sounds very interesting. I want to read one of his books. I think it will be enlightening. You did a great job as always. Shirley

Comment from Annmuma
Well, another good review and an insight into another interesting Fanstory member. You are good at bringing out the tidbits of 'specialness' of each individual. I enjoyed the interview and came away liking both the interviewer and the interviewee. Good work. ann
A couple of spag issues:
his is another interview with a FanStory member, Gary Maclean. (It is not ANOTHER interview. It is just an interview with FanStory member, Gary Maclean.)
Lee Hill (Humpwhistle) suggest I (should be 'suggested')

A good choice of interview subject, and your questions were designed to elicit the most interesting and informative responses from Gary. He has had an difficult background and lots of experiences, and I enjoyed getting to know him better through your interview. Thanks for sharing.

Wendy, thank you for your kind review. Gary is a fellow that has triumphed over adversity. He is an excellent writer and reviewer. Terry.
Comment from LisaMay
I enjoy reading biography when I learn something, the subjects come across as authentic, and there is personal awareness and an ethic of hard work... all available in your interview. Overcoming adversity always makes for interesting reading, plus an insight to changing society, and the importance of love and faith.
We readers are lucky to have both you 'old guys' on this site.

Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
YAY It just doesn't get any better than this, than to see 2 of my favorite guys in the same story! Awesome interview for both of you. I love reading what you asked and what Gary answered. He is a very interesting man as I probably review you two more than anyone. Whether I am busy writing or thanking reviewers, I always take note when I see that one of you have something new to read, as in some ways you have similar styles but different subjects. Either way, this was a fun interview to read. Great job Terry. However I hardly ever mention constructive feedback unless I think it is important, and many things have changed since my college writing days, but I doubt this is one of them. In a couple places he uses himself first by saying I or them and I and my wife. I guess that sticks out big to me because of that being stressed so much in writing classes and English as a whole, not to mention using the correct word of me or I, after the first person. Other than that, kudos to the both of you for a great interview my awesome friends!

Hi Terry,
I do enjoy reading the interviews you have written with certain writers here on site, Gary being another interesting, informative and authentic character.
You have a nice flow within the interaction of conversation and banter in your writing which makes for an enjoyable read, and also an interesting read.
Thanks for sharing your talent and creative style of writing Terry.
With our thoughts we create...
a way to give back.
Kind regards,

Comment from lyenochka
This is a great interview, Terry! I loved how you started right off by asking Gary about his ideal car first to show us his personality. Then you showcase his skills in reviewing and his unusual childhood and background that obviously influenced his writing. Great job to you both!!

Thank you for sharing this interview. I did enjoy getting to know Gary a little better through this, but mainly he has inspired me to be more helpful than encouraging when it comes to reviews.
Best wishes to you!
