August 9, 1998: AOL IM with Joe Idstein

Joe Idstein started working at IRI this year. He overheard me telling Chris Blackwell that I had AOL and wondered what my email address was.    In the evening, he sent me an instant message on AOL and we chatted for about 3 hours.   He said he liked to write poetry. 

When I look back, I should not have started chatting with Joe, as the outcome 2 yrs later was that he ended up marrying my roommate, Dawn, from Western Michigan University.  It became a drama for me for the next 2 years, which I wish I had avoided.
