I think the interview should indeed focus on Chase Craig's career and on
Western in general. As we don't know what exactly he can remember and in
what detail, it might be worth to at least try to ask him some detailed
questions (like the cutting of some specific Barks stories). If he doesn't
know the answer, then those questions can be skipped. The same for other
questions which are too detailed to remember.

As long as there are enough questions ready to choose from, the
interviewer will be able to go into any direction. The limits will be
given by Chase himself or his memory.


Best wishes,
