Page vii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Each book I publish joyfully entails my affectionate acknowledgement of the crucial aid, astute criticism, and warm encouragement of Helen Swick Perry. I am, as always, deeply indebted and ever grateful for her intellectual contribution to my work as well as her steady support. No foundation grants, university salary, or other subsidy underwrote the preparation of this book, but an unrestricted gift to the Institute for New Enterprise Development from Grace M. Dingee made it possible to pay for typing, editing, and other INED expenses for this and other publications, as well as for INED operational expenses. Her gift was as unexpected as it was heartwarming and made it possible for me to concentrate on the book rather than on INED's financial needs. I want to tell her once more of my deep appreciation for that generous surprise. I am of course especially indebted to the many community leaders, who as my constant colleagues in the field of community economic development over the past twenty years, taught me so much. This book is as much theirs, in that sense, as it is mine. I want to single out two especially, though many more could be named. Greg MacLeod, activist, teacher, conversationalist par excellence, has for the years of our association in community economic development offered valuable ideas and stimulating interaction. I want to take this occasion to express my appreciation on many different levels for his friendship and colleaguial support, not just with respect to this book but also in general throughout our work together. DeForest Brown gave me my first introduction to what it means to try to get a forgotten community started on its way. I garnered much understanding and knowledge from working with him in a number of different settings, and I will always appreciate that.
