Dear marsh:

Maybe you can plan to have a conversation with her, plan the questions you want to ask her. Write them down. It would be much better to get the answers from her than to speculate and guess as to what they are. I know you asked her some questions, but ask different questions, more specific. It is a skill to ask questions that will give you the exact information you need.

Journalists are expert at it, and so are lawyers, experts- if they are good at their professions- at asking questions so to get the information they need.

Hence, ask…prepare the questions before hand, in writing/ typing. You can type them here as practice or privately…
