I think one of the first things that occurred to me about Joe was that he is a tireless worker. He is the fastest, most prolific writer I have ever worked with. Over the next several months I communicated with Joe via modem from Toronto. We exchanged nearly all o the scripts for the series via a BBS and corresponded back and forth with script comments and other production materials. This was the start of a interesting relationship.
People tend to express themselves differently via the written word as opposed to conversation.
I feel like we got to know each other on a different level than if we'd spent this time talking over the phone or in meetings in some office somewhere. Then there was the time that Joe saved my life. Actually he saved his own in the process, so I guess you would say that he saved our lives. He came up to Toronto so he could become familiar with the sets and locations we were using on Captain Power . Now, you may or may not know this, but Joe doesn't drive.
