Hey this is cool...
So I was talking to my mother this weekend about the movie Kinsey. She remembers this because it was from 'her era', and then she tells me, "My Aunt Ginny* was one of his researchers." In other words, this woman was one of the people who asked all the questions to get the data to go into the books.
Well, I thought that was extremely cool. Unfortunately Aunt Ginny died when I was a little girl, so I have no way of speaking to her and finding out first hand what it was like to work with Kinsey.
(And after seeing the movie, I do wonder if she participated in any of the spouse swapping that apparently went on. Perhaps it is best not to know.)
*Not, in actuality, an Aunt. She was my grandmother's best friend. She had a daughter around my mother's age, and they grew up together.
