As for this project, Chet Rzonca and Peter van der Linden gave their approval and supported this effort in several ways such as providing housing and laboratory space while I finished this project, and by offering a publishing subvention. Jane Shuttleworth offered the perspective on the Friends of Lakeside Lab and commented on an early draft. Ann Bovbjerg also kindly commented on an early draft. Peter van der Linden, Sue Lannoo, and Ken Lang proofread later drafts and offered valuable comments. I thank Mary Bennett and Charles Scott of the State Historical Society of Iowa for providing photographs and original surveys of Lakeside and the Okoboji region. I also thank David McCartney and his staff from the University Archives, Department of Special Collections, University of Iowa Libraries for providing access and the rights to reproduce the extensive Lakeside Lab material in their charge. I thank Judy Hemphill, photographer, and Joan Gronstal, president of the Friends of Lakeside Lab, for giving me permission to publish the image from the ArtsLIVE People’s Art Project. Look at this photo and ask yourself, who wouldn’t want to live there? ...
