Without the perspicacious editorial prodding of Richard Hopper, this book would not have been written. In an era when civility has all but disappeared, he exemplifies what it means to be a scholar and a gentleman.
Although research and writing are, in many ways, lonely endeavors, it is also true that the publication of a historical work always depends on the help of others. At Bryant College, we would like to thank the staff of the Hodgson Memorial Library. Special kudos are due Colleen Anderson and Gretchen McLaughlin for the courteous and creative way that they went about solving our numerous research requests. Tracy Banasieski spent many hours during her junior and senior years at Bryant working on this project. We especially appreciate her ability to accept our foibles. Conny Sawyer, more than any other individual, is responsible for our completing this book in a timely fashion. She miraculously created the time for us to get the job done. The institutional support of Bryant continues to be exemplary. Course reductions, travel funds, and summer research stipends make the opportunity for producing scholarly works much easier. We also wish to thank the staff of the Fogler Library of the University of Maine, especially Frank Wihbey and Dawn Lacadie, for their help in meeting difficult research challenges.
Nadja and Alyssa have grown up learning about women and World War II. Their abiding support, both personal and professional, has been invaluable. Sylvia, Clayton, Kit, Jamie, and Joshua remain cheerfully tolerant of Daves fixation on World War II and the members of that generation. To each of you, we offer our love and thanks.
