[ 215 ] Acknowledgments i Would like to thank each and every person at Stinson Seafood for allowing me to photograph them as they worked in those difficult last days of the plant’s operation. Despite the added stress this undoubtedly caused them, they were all kind, helpful, and understanding, and I am truly thankful that they allowed me to capture this portion of their lives at such a critical juncture. I am deeply honored by the trust they placed in me, and I hope these photographs reflect that faith. I am deeply indebted to Peter Colson, the plant manager at the time of the closing, for all of the help he gave me throughout the project. It is no easy task to gain permission to photograph inside a food production facility, and without Peter’s belief in the importance of documenting this significant moment, I am not sure it would have been accomplished. He, along with the entire management staff at the plant, went well out of their way to accommodate my needs, despite all they personally had to accomplish in the remaining time the plant would operate. Finally, I wish to thank the staff at Wesleyan University Press, not only for their willingness to preserve this material for future generations, but also for making the process of creating this book so pleasant. ...
