Brianna Cardenas emailed Meinhard B. Cardenas on the 19th of October, 2016, asking if he would be interested in participating in a profile essay where one must be interviewed by a student with mutual interest in the same line of work.

Perhaps one co-author happens to believe that Obsidian founded in the depth of a previous volcanic sight is actually Basalt, while others continually disagree with her yet show no evidence for such statements, would cause disagreements and hold the writing and research process for a lengthful amount of time.
