Acknowledgments

For every book that is published, there is a huge cast of supporters, advocates, cheerleaders, family, and friends without whom the accomplishment wouldnt be possible. At the risk of missing some of the individuals who are among that number, I want to name the people who were instrumental in the writing of Cornell 77.

First and foremost, thank you to John Perry Barlow, Jerry Garcia, Donna Jean Godchaux, Keith Godchaux, Mickey Hart, Robert Hunter, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Ron Pigpen McKernan, Brent Mydland, and Bob Weir. Your music is the soundtrack to my life.

From the Cornell University faculty and staff, thank you to Daniel Aloi, Glenn Altschuler, Evan Fay Earle, Michael Engle, Marcie Suzanne Farwell, Connie Finnerty, Heather Furnas, Lisa Gilles, Eileen Keating, Melanie Lefkowitz, Laura Linke, Liz Muller, Anna E. Pollock, and Theo Wolf.

For the the friends, allies, and interviewees who lent their support to Cornell 77 in ways both large and small, thank you to Matt Adler, Pete Angwin, Neem Karoli Baba, Ken Babbs, BOA Editions, the BOTNET group, John Briggs, Stephen Burke, Bill Chaisson, Todd Ellenberg, Mark Frisk, David Gans, Mary Good-enough, Dean Heiser, Heather Horsley, Jason Johnson, Patrick Kavaney, Sunshine Kesey, Rick Koh, Brad Krakow, Gary Lambert, Carol Latvala, David Lemieux, Jordan Lowy, Jay Mabrey, Mark Mattson, Mike McEvoy, Nicholas Meriwether, JoAnne Narad, Mark Pinkus, Eve Prouty, Simon Radford, Ivette Ramos, Stephen Robinson, Dan Ruderman, Ira Rose and the Hanuman Chalisa Daily Chant Group, Cody Schneiders, John Schroeder, Steve Silberman, Robert Spivack, Three Heads Brewing, Tru Yoga, Doran Tyson, Bruce Wagman, Robert Wagner, Christopher Wallis, Todd Weiner, and Stu Zimmerman.

My deepest bow goes to publisher Dean John Smith and editor Michael McGandy from Cornell University Press. I am so grateful that they presented me with the idea of writing a book about Cornell 77 and thankful that they stuck with me through the occasionally harrowing process of getting it done on time. In addition to lending his editorial expertise, Michael helped make contacts with Cornell alumni and Cornell faculty and combed through the Cornell archives to find every piece of primary resource material available on campus that could be useful for this book. Publisher Dean Smiths great enthusiasm for this book (and for the Grateful Dead) often made my work a pleasure, and his careful reading and editorial notes were a blessing. Also, massive thanks to author and scholar Peter Richardson for recommending me to Michael and Dean as the perfect person to write this book. My involvement with this project started with Peter, and he continued to support my writing with information, feedback, and encouragement until its completion.

Photographer Jon Reis deserves special mention for his fantastic images of the May 8, 1977, show and for generously allowing his photographs to appear in this book. Those images fill in the story and give us a richer sense of the scene at Cornell and in Ithaca.

At this point, pretty much every author who writes about the history of the Grateful Dead owes a debt of gratitude to Nicholas Meriwether and the Grateful Dead archives at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I proudly count myself among that number. Nicholas is a tireless advocate for Grateful Dead scholarship and is always there with information, documents, contacts, and true Deadhead spirit. We are all lucky to have you, Nicholas.

I also want to give warm thanks to David Gans and Gary Lambert for dedicating an episode of their radio show, Tales from the Golden Road, on Sirius/XMs Grateful Dead channel, to the Cornell show, and for allowing me to conduct live on-air interviews during that episode. In addition to their generosity on Tales from the Golden Road, both Gary and David made themselves available for questions and provided key contacts throughout the writing of this book.

Thank you to my agent Linda Roghaar, who has been a wonderful ally and trusted advocate through every book that I have written.

Thanks and praises to all my families. Thank you to the Conners family for their ongoing support of my work. Thank you to the Senise family for warmly welcoming me into their fold during the writing of this book. Thank you to the children in my life who make every day an adventure: Whitman, Max, Kane, and Little Max. Thank you to the family of Deadheads who are my fellow travelers down the golden road.

Finally, my most heartfelt thanks to Aime, who became my wife and my life during the writing of this book. If, as Ram Dass says, We are all just walking each other home, there is no one Id rather walk beside than you.
