This interview took place on April 7, 2017 for me; April 8 for him in France. "It was a second career for me. I was the oldest person there, older than the boss by 10 years, almost. And for me to be able to get in with all these young people and learn — I mean, I wasn't as fast as any of them but, just to hold up my own." A video version of this interview is available.
