Acknowledgements

This project would not have been possible without the support of countless people who shared photos, offered us guidance, or extended a level of hospitality that will never be forgotten. Scroll down to join us in our appreciation for these helpful people.

We thank Stanley Parkinson and Kevin Bates for all manner of assistance, book-related and not.

We thank our friends and families for their patience and support the whole way, especially (for Denise) Claire, Aidan, Lila, Melissa, and Stacy, and (for Stephanie) Maudie Faye, Cal, Vincent, Marcia, Jeff, Patricia, Bonnie, Jim, Linda, and Shavawn.

We are grateful to the great team at the University Archives, Arizona State University Libraries, including Robert Spindler, Neil Millican, Kathy Krzys, Christine Marin, and Joyce Martin.

We give heartfelt thanks also these folks whose assistance on the project was invaluable:

We thank Gary Krahenbuhl for the extra helpings of time, wisdom, and kindness.

We thank Susan Drescher-Mulzet and Mark Mulzet for their generosity. We thank Sol and Esther Drescher.

We also thank numerous other individuals who were kind in small and large ways, many of whom we name here (and likely others we’ll add as we remember who we might have forgotten). As time allows, we might add a note about the person’s connection to ASU or how they assisted us…but, for now, it will suffice that they know how they helped us on this quest.
