This interview is taking place on July 3, 2019, at the Ryan White Planning Council offices in their conference room, in Houston, Texas. I am interviewing Mr. Jobe in order to obtain his recollections concerning the bar social life and theatre culture of Houston during the HIV/AIDS crisis. Thank you so much for taking the time to come and talk with us. RANDALL JOBE: You’re certainly welcome. MICHELLE RAMSTACK: I’m probably going to end up repeating a lot of the questions that I asked you previously, so just bear with me. We’re now recording. Let’s just start off with where and when were you born? RANDALL JOBE: I was born in Paducah, Texas, on May 17, 1955. Because I was adopted, my parents came to pick me up three days after I was born. My biological parents, I never knew. My parents who adopted me, which I consider my parents — I always make the distinction between biological and my parents — came to pick me up at three days old. I have a sister who’s five years older, and when she was five, my mother was told she couldn’t have any more children.
