  1. I just adore Jane Hutcheon and her amazing empathy she had for each person she interviewed on “ One plus one. ”. She came across as articulate, empathic, caring, curious and had this innate ability to somehow place her self in the shoes of the person she interviewed.
    I am going to miss her terribly, I went out and purchased books that interviewed people had written. She made my life richer……thank you Jane Hutcheon, I wish you well!
