I find myself interviewing all sorts of people -- I am the features writer and as far as I'm concerned, the stranger the story the better. So far I've interviewed a pig farmer which was fun, gotten security clearance and interviewed people at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. I even got a phone call from Captain Morgan (he's head of the local Salvation Army).

But today, within a more serious story on two generations of Choctaw women I interviewed the Chief of the Choctaw Nation. Their offices are in Oklahoma so it was by phone but when I got done I realized it was a person I didn't think I would have ever spoken to. Stories in Thursday's paper.
