The editors also thank the leadership of the Centennial Committee of Korean Immigration to the United States, General Chairperson Donald Kim, Vice General Chairperson Duk Hee Lee Murabayashi, and Academic Committee Chairman Professor Edward J. Shultz, who is also Director of the University of Hawai'i Center for Korean Studies. They thank Elsa Carl and Clarence Lee for the book's design, and photographer Tom Haar for sharing his incomparable work. Julia White, Asian Art Curator at the Honolulu Academy of Arts, generously helped by providing access to the Academy's fine collection of Korean art. Many excellent Korean American artists also offered their work—more excellent pieces than could be used. Among other individuals who were very helpful to this project were Dr. Kyungmi Chun, Henry Ahn, Clifford Arinaga, Charles Park, Roberta Chang, Joan Namkoong, Evelyn Choi Shon, Joan Yanagihara, and a generous donor in Austin, Texas, who wishes to remain anonymous. The editors would like to thank the staff of Ma-noa: managing editor Pat Matsueda; production editor Liana Holmberg; associate production editor Lavonne Leong; assistant editors Naomi Long, Kathleen Matsueda, and Amber Stierli; Abernethy fellows Celeste McCarthy, Brent Fujinaka, and Georganne Nordstrom; intern Eryn Nakamura; and volunteers Phyllis Young and Lisa Ottiger. The editors would also like to acknowledge the University of Hawai'i College of Languages, Linguistics, and Literature for its continuing support of the cross-cultural and international Asia-Pacific projects of Manoa, which in 2003 is celebrating its fifteenth anniversary.
