Historic Preservation in Indiana: Essays from the Field

Acknowledgments

xv Many people have worked to turn the idea for this book into reality. First among them is our sponsoring editor at the Indiana University Press, Linda Oblack, who championed the proposal and saw it through to contract. Linda’s assistant at the press, Sarah Jacobi, and project editor Nancy Lightfoot have also been unfailingly patient and helpful.

I am grateful to Bridget Edwards, Mary Krupinski, and Devin Blankenship for seriously considering contributing to this volume, even though circumstances kept each of them from doing so. Jonas Longacre has provided invaluable technical assistance. My gratitude goes to those who have contributed essays, as well as to Duncan Campbell, who crystallized his thoughts on a life devoted to preservation in his foreword. Duncan and my dear friend Edith Sarra made constructive suggestions that improved my introduction. Matthew Clement and Mark Longacre have been extraordinarily patient throughout this volume’s preparation. My special thanks go to Kristen Clement, who has graced this volume with her remarkable eye for beauty and shared with me, during our collaboration, her deep capacity for joy.
