Description
In this interview, Sally Moore discusses meeting and eventually marrying philosopher Henry Bugbee. She talks about first meeting Bugbee when she attended a class he taught at what is now Chatham University. During this period Moore typed his book, The Inward Morning. After no contact for 24 years, Moore reached out to Bugbee. Though the relationship had been platonic, they start a long-distance relationship for the next three years and then are married. She mentions how he taught in Canada, his love of hiking mountains in Missoula, Montana, that he liked to entertain and that they welcomed unannounced visitors to their home. Moore discusses that Bugbee had a difficult childhood with a wealthy family that was not very close. And Moore talks about Bugbee’s Alzheimer’s illness and his eventual death.
