188 JL 100 YEARS EXPLORING LIFE, 188^1988 



Thanks also to everyone else who has helped, perhaps without even 

 realizing it: to those who have contributed materials; to those who have 

 come in and been asked abruptly "who was this" or "where was that"; to 

 those who have cheered for the project (especially John Pfeiffer, who egged 

 Ruth and me on at discouraging times; the watchmen who offered support 

 early on Sunday mornings or late at night; Jane Fessenden, who would not 

 let us quit; and Joel Davis, who provided much needed sustenance at critical 

 times); to those with good editorial advice, especially Phil Pauly, Richard 

 Creath, and Garland Allen; to Public Information director George Liles, who 

 provided much information and editorial assistance; and to centennial 

 coordinator Pam Clapp, who really single-handedly kept things going at 

 crucial points. I especially appreciate the support and coordination of 

 Jones and Bartlett's editor, Joe Burns, for steering the book through to 

 publication. Special thanks go to publisher Don Jones for his support and 

 overall direction. I would also like to acknowledge Jones and Bartlett's 

 production director, Maureen Cunningham Neumann, and her able staff, 

 Rafael Millan and Anne Benaquist, for their skill and expertise in design- 

 ing and creating this book. Most of all, thanks to everyone who has been 

 part of the life of the MBL and who has therefore contributed in some way 

 to this autobiography. This book has really been a community project in 

 the spirit of the MBL.
