Curiosity is the essence of a good interview. That’s why I left the Scott Craig and Carol Bawden home with a feeling of inadequacy.
It was several years ago now, probably about 2017, that Scott and Carol hosted me at their historically significant home with an eagle’s view of the Manitou Passage. Getting there wasn’t easy as I needed to follow directions up the vertical driveway and climb stairs to reach Roundtop. Scott was already relying on a cane at times, which couldn’t keep him off the golf course.
Physical ailments weren’t worth a conversation. He brushed off his limp as an inconvenience, moving toward compelling topics. We had only met previously by happenstance, which at this point of my life seems an omission on my part. I certainly knew of the legend of Scott Craig. His broadcasts of “The Story Next Door,” in which he retold the lives of county residents prominent and obscure, played regularly. How come I didn’t do more to get his thoughts in the Enterprise?
