Staff-interface snippets: the fatherly Commitment Chair; mother dead, Daddy "still sucking air"; ten years up North

texture · 11 Nov YDAU, evening to 2329h

• When: YDAU (2009), Wednesday 11 Nov, evening (artifact runs to ~2329h)
• What: In Gately's logged "interface moments," Joelle recounts the Sudbury "Half-Measures Avail Us Nothing" Commitment Chair with his broken, fatherly authority; teases Gately's accent; reports her mother dead ("Worm-farming") and her Daddy alive in Kentucky; and says she has been "up here ten years" from Kentucky (p. 563) — which puts her Boston arrival ~B.S. 1999, two years before Orin's freshman-fall 2001 sighting of her (consistent only if she preceded him at B.U.; noted as a dating datum).
