From the transcript
And apparently rural electrification was just one little side project she had going on over here, right? And so I was able to reach out to her through her editor, through her publisher, and found out she was still alive. She was in Alamos, Mexico. And it was very serendipitous because she was actually working on organizing all of her papers related to the rural electrification story. And one of the reasons why she had left that out of the book is because she always intended to tell that story separately.
