I spent a lot of this week trying to track more people down. It has been sort of a rabbit hole. I started out trying to contact this one particular guy, Will McInerney. Will was the last listed caretaker of the poetry group Ira co founded. I contacted him a while back. He lives in England, so we correspond on a bit of a time delay. He is gonna do an interview through skype, but he started giving me other names to contact. Some of these names I knew, but some them I had been unable to find contact info for, and he gave me that. An altogether new name he gave me was their high school English teacher.

I had learned that Will was also one of the co-founders of the poetry group and a school mate of Ira. The teacher had a relationship with the poetry group members, but I'm not exactly clear on that. The teacher responded to email fairly quickly, but requested that I called him. I thought that would be a much easier way to figure things out. We had set up a call time, this past Friday. Knox and I were going to call him, and try to work out specifics for an interview and just discuss what he might have to offer. The call fell through for Friday, he did had a scheduling conflict with his childcare arrangement. We are going to try again ASAP.
