Turn back the hands of time and you have 5 minutes with Rhiney Petrasch. Enough time to ask 5 questions and get your answers. What do you ask? I doubt going full bore would get you directions to the mine. What could you learn that would prove or disprove so much that came later? This is one of the things I do when researching. Put myself in a limited space to make it count.
So what would everyone ask?
Here are my 5 questions:
How did you first meet Jacob Waltz and what was your first impression of him?
Who was Dick Holmes?
Please tell me one of the stories Waltz told you about his time out west.
What did Jacob Waltz look like?
Could you share a personal anecdote about Waltz?
