<p><font face="Calibri">Welp, I was bumped off the List (even though
I received posts...) here was my answer to the Kate Q:<br>

Yes, Kate was real. Based entirely on Joe's real-life
relationship with her. She was his last girlfriend before me.
There are still untold stories about Joe and Kate that no one
knows about but me. (I'm writing a book about our lives together
and Kate deserves more than a full chapter.) <br>

Joe had a lot of friends; it was a public relationship if it
existed. I figure Michal Story, Lester Nafzger, Harry Shearer,
Kristine McKenna, Debi Mae West, David Rapkin, Bob Carlson must know.
If none of them ever met her, she's probably an invention.</pre>
