A. Trimarco, chairperson and friend who gave
generously of her precious time,
listened, encouraged, and advised from the very start. She has
given wisdom and
provided 3direction.

Mrs. Irene Harris-Maken served as
historical advisor and Mrs. Doris Roseman
provided long distance encouragement. Dr. George
Butler provided insight and
expert editorial assistance. Mrs. Meg
Fergusson provided expert copy editing and.
advice. Dianne DiBlasi did proofreading. And
Joan Robelen did a masterful job of
word-processing, proofreading, and page design.

My parents William and Norma
Peltzman lived with the project daily, lis-
tened, advised, encouraged, and tolerated.

All of these people and many others deserve thanks and, to
paraphrase Lawrence
Cremin, credit for whatever worth the book may have.
I, however, am responsible
for its faults.
