'^■g^;feS!

The 1976 STOSAG is dedicated to Mrs. John Bowman,
student senate secretary. We won't go into her life history,
but we would like to express our feelings as best we can.

How can we describe Dolores? Friend, co-worker,
"Mom", confidant; the list goes on indefinately. Most peo-
ple would be content to do their jobs and go home, when
their day is done. Dolores does her job, listens to us rant and
rave, comes to all our functions and still takes the time to
make each of of us feel her warmth.

She understands our need to let off steam and also our
need to be silent. In her presence, there is no need to be witty
or "reasonable" all the time; she allows us to be ourselves.

Dolores is the one person in the senate office who knows
what needs to be done, and how to do it. She's the one who
lets us joke, then in her own way, lets us know that it's time
to get back to work.

A sobering influence? Yes, at times, but she is there when
we need someone to laugh and rejoice with also.

When things go well she makes them twice as pleasurable,
simply by being happy with us, her joy is genuine, as is her
sympathy.

We can't possibly begin to repay you, Dolores for all
you've done. We can only say thank you, with all our love
and respect, and hope that some of what we feel will reach
your heart, as you have reached ours'.

In the beginning
we understand
neither the universe,
nor the world,

nor the people
nor ourselves
blindly, we reach.

What This Is .

This is a short explanation of why we (The Yearbook StafO have
placed the Minuteman next to the modern day farmer. The reason is
quite simple, if you just read the quote on the Minuteman picture. You
will see the relationship of the two through cultures and the ideal of past
and present.

In todays life styles the farmer has been and is taken for granted. But
this year, the countries 200th Birthday, the realistic view point of the
farmer being an intricate part of the counties heritage and freedom,
should and will be brought out into the open and recognized. In so much

we wish to fKjint out, that the modern day farmer is still carrying out an
important part of the heritage and freedom of this country. If it were
not for the modern day farmer the people of this country would not have
half of the freedoms that they enjoy now. How many people can
imagine having to limit how much food they purchase a week, whether
they have money or not? So with this Question we leave you and your
imagination, to salute the farmer of old who fought to attain our
freedom and to the modern day farmer who still fights in his own way to
retain our already acquired and taken for granted freedom.

Changes

Are you kidding? You, the Class of 1976, the Bicen-
tennial Class, have already been a part of many changes
occurring on campus, in Massachusetts and in the coun-
try! If you have kept your eyes and ears open, you have
been made aware of the tremendous changes that have
shaped this country since 1776. You have watched
changes going on all over the world which have and will
continue to affect your lives. Whether you go on to other
colleges or enter the business sector, you are going to be
participating in many social, economic, political and edu-
cational changes.

In 1776, who would have believed that so many people
from all levels of our society would have the privilege of
attending college today? Would they have believed that
you were being educated to be top-notch Arborists,
Landscapers, Florists, Laboratory Animal Technicians
or Greenskeepers? Of course they wouldn't! They lived in
an agrarian society where the production and processing
of food and fiber required most of their time and
thoughts. They understood the need for the production of
plant and animal products, not the needs of an urban,
industrial society. I doubt if they could have ever
dreamed of the tremendous changes brought about by
wars; technological, agricultural and industrial revolu-
tions.

Today, in 1976, I wonder if any of us can dream of
what our world will be like in 2176. I am sure there will
be changes that to us now would be unbelievable. I do
think that we are better equipped in 1976 to think about
and prepare ourselves for the changes that will be needed
as we enter the future. Many of you are already planning
for and participating in some of these needed changes
such as energy conservation, resource conservation, pol-
lution control, better distribution of food, preservation of
food producing land and producing a better environment
for an ever increasing population.

Changes? You bet! There are some real exciting and
challenging ones already underway and these changes
will cause more to follow! You, the Bicentennial Class of
1976 of the Stockbridge School of Agriculture, have
ahead of you some tremendous challenges, one of which
is to help bring about some of the needed changes pre-
viously mentioned. Those of us who have had a part in
providing you with some of the necessary educational
tools know that you will accept these challenges and
create many positive, needed changes in the future. To
this end, we all wish you the best of luck and offer you
our continued help.

The Minuteman . . .

If the minuteman were to return today, what striking
changes he would find in agriculture!

Two hundred years ago, nine out often Americans lived on
a farm. In this definitely Agrarian society, the farmer occu-
pied a superior place on the social scale. Agriculture was a
way of life, self-sustaining and self-reliant. Back-breaking
physical labor, long hours, and crude tools and implements
were the means by which crops were raised, milk and dairy
products supplied, and clothing fibers and housing materials
provided. The northern farmer produced just about enough
to supply his family, with a small surplus which he bartered
or sold for a minimal amount of goods and services that could
not be produced on the farm. He depended totally on family
and friends for help. On the other hand, the great southern

■''i

plantations were more commercial and relied,
for their greater production, on slave labor.
Since travel was difficult and communication
services practically nonexistent, northern com-
munities and southern plantations had to be self-
sufficient. This self-sufficiency fostered a spirit
of fierce independence and a great respect for
freedom.

It is astonishing that the thirteen original
colonies, so isolated from each other and so self-
sufficient could or would unite to fight and win
the American Revolution. But they did. They
left their farms and plantations to fight for the
freedom to structure and formally design the
democrtic government they wanted for this
country. The spirit of.freedom must have been a
tremendously strong and cohesive force.

This great love of freedom is the one charac-
teristic the Minuteman would still recognize, for
over the two hundred year interval, and especial-
ly in the last fifty years, agriculture itself has
changed drastically.

The changes have occured at various times
and at various rates of speed, but they have
combined to produce a totally different type of
agricultural picture. The nation expanded; in-
dustrialization and urbanization created a large

non-agrarian population which had to be fed;
wars depleted the cheap labor supply requiring
the farmer to resort to mechanization, and ge-
netic, nutritional and chemcial experimentation
provided for more efficient use of the land,
shorter maturing time and fatter meat-produc-
ing animals. More sophisticated methods of
preservation and faster transportation expanded
the territory to which produce could be shipped.
Better means of communication resulted in rap-
id exchange of methods and ideas. The farmer
found that he could handle more acreage using
the new technology and he enlarged his farm by
buying or renting land from his neighbors. This
has resulted in fewer but larger farms supplying
the needs of the people. In fact, at present only
about one in ten Americans live on a farm. This
is a complete reversal of the figures in the day of
the Minuteman.

Today Agriculture is big business. Agricul-
tural products are shipped all over the country
and abroad. Diversified, specialized, mecha-
nized and highly commercialized, the "family
farm" today is vastly different from the farms of
our fore-fathers, and the farmer himself has
changed. He and his family are more dependent
on other areas of society and there are few self-

sufficient farms in the historic sense. Functions
once performed on the farm have now been tak-
en over by urban industry and trade. Large com-
mercial farms have been forced to adopt some of
the methods of urban enterprises. The farmer
may maintainan elaborate accounting system,
and he may incorporate his farm to obtain the
advantages of other businessmen.

Yes, the Minuteman would have a difficult
time finding his way around a farm today. But
he would still recognize that great feeling of
freedom, and in very recent years the resurgence
of agriculture as a highly respected calling. It
seems appropriate that in this Bicentennial Year
of 1976, more young people are interested in
agriculture than ever before. Their interest even
seems to extend to the smaller but workable
farm. Can it be that someday soon the Minute-
man may feel at home again?

Today — a day of life.

1 behold wondrous things.

A flower unfolding from its pod,

A chick breaking from its egg,

A plant sprouting from its seed.

Yesterday — the prelude to this day.
1 remember wondrous events;
A friend gave a helping hand
A stranger turned aside to help;
A foe learned to love.

Tomorrow — the potential of today
I anticipate as a wondrous time:
A moment of rebirth.
An instant of reflection,
A flicker of reaffirmation.

1 am surrounded

Agriculture in Massachusetts is being pressured
and squeezed out by increasingly urbanized envi-
ronment. Without the help of Agricultural enter-
prise, these pressures would have been practically
unbearable for the farmer to face alone. The Agri-
cultural Business Management major is designed to
prepare the student to give an understanding of
business as it relates to agriculture.

This understanding of business is brought forth
in courses such as accounting, business law, mar-
keting, retail operations, world food supply, and
agricultural business management.

Along with the required courses, students may
select additional courses outside of the department
thereby broadening the scope of their education.

Business Management 1975-1976

Animal Science is a very diversified major. It
provides an over all view of livestock-related indus-
tries and farming through a wide variety of courses.

The Animal Science major also includes, along
with its livestock and farming courses, classes indi-
cative to the managerial and economic aspects of
the industry. A further understanding and applica-
tion of principles discussed in lecture are presented
in labs assigned to each class expecially covering
livestock.

"As long as there are children on this

earth

our livestock should not be considered

a natural resource,

but as a constant, cherished and

endangered species."

Christopher Browning, Jr.

Science 1975-1976

Arboriculture And

Arboriculture is tiie planting, growing and use of
modern techniques in the care of shade and orna-
mental trees. Park Management is the administra-
tive operation of a Parks and Recreation system.

Behind this two-fold major is the idea of spread-
ing aesthetic awareness throughout our great land.
With the use of well cared for trees and the objec-
tive of bringing man back to nature inspired by
many parks. It is our sincere hope that a restoration
of man's mental as well as physical health and spirit
be spread by the Arbor and Parks graduate.

As "Doc" would say, "things are tough, but after
graduation the professionally prepared graduate of
Arbor and Park Management finds numerous op-
portunities open to him/her in a wide and rapidly
expanding field. Because of the wide spectrum of
courses they have been exposed to, they can proudly
refer to themselves as "Jacks-of-all-trades".

Park Management 1975-1976

Floriculture focuses on the production and mar-
keting of plants and flowers. Trips to nearby grow-
ing and retail operations accent courses by demon-
strating the different methods taught.

Students get a chance to develop such skills as
floral arranging, soil testing, and greenhouse oper-
ations in their classes. A summer placement pro-
gram is a requirement giving students a chance to
apply their knowledge in a practical situation.

1975-1976

Food "

A Food Distribution major at Stockbridge takes
a wide variety of courses ranging from business
management and marketing to the food sciences
which deal with the nutritional value of food.

With the knowledge of these courses a student is
able to secure a job in a wholesale or retail food
firm. More specialized fields such as food oper-
ations, labor relations, advertising, and personnel
positions are also open to the food distribution ma-
jor.

Distribution 1975-1976

What is this life, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs.
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass.
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight.
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance.
And watch her feet, how they can
dance.

No time to wait till her mouth

can.

Enrich that smile her eyes

began. '

A poor life this if, full of

care.

We have no time to stand

and stare.

— W.H. DAVIES

The spring is coming by a many

signs;

The trays are up, the hedges

broken down

That fenced the haystack, and

the remnant shines

Like some old antique fragment

weathered brown.

And where suns peep, in every

The little early buttercups unfold

A glittering star or two-till many

The edges of the blackthorn clumps in

— JOHN CLARE

... A chill no coat, however stout,

Of homespun stuff could quite shut out,

A hard, dull bitterness of cold.

That checked, mid-vein, the circling race

Of life-blood in the sharpened face

The coming of the snow-storm told.

The wind blew east; we heard the roar

Of ocean on his wintery shore.

And felt the strong pulse throbbing there

Beat with low rhythm our inland air.

Meanwhile we did our nightly chores,

Brought in the wood from out of doors,

Littered the stalls, and from the mows

Raked down the herd's — grass for the cows;

Heard the horse winnying for his

corn;
And, sharply clashing horn to horn,
Impatient down the stanchion rows
The cattle shake their walnut
bows; . . .

Fruit And

Fruit and vegetable production is the backbone
of Agriculture in any country. The Stockbridge
program offers students experience along with book
learning. To supplement this, the program offers
adequate land and modern equipment for the stu-
dents' use.

The program deals with sound cultural practices,
good farm management, and marketing. A gra-
duate of this program is qualified to be employed as
a state produce inspector, wholesale or retail sales-
man and in many business and industry operations
dealing with produce.

Vegetable 1975-1976

Laboratory Animal

Laboratory Animal Technology trains a stu-
dent to enter a variety of fields in the veterinary
profession as trained assistants.

The course is designed to train students in
breeding, management, laboratory techniques and
the handling of various laboratory animals.

Students training in this field graduate with an
Associate Degree which is certified by the Ameri-
can Association for Laboratory Animal Science.
They are certified to work in areas such as: pro-
duction facilities for animals, technicians in pri-
vate and government research, research aides in
drug, surgical and technical sales and services.

The Land Operations major serves the needs of
its students by exposing them to practical methods
performed by this vocation. It provides a basic
foundation for the first year student by teaching
him/her courses in Botony, Soils, Entomology, and
Plant Identification. This is followed by summer
placement where the student is required to find a
job in which he/she can obtain actual experience.

The second year program includes Topographi-
cal mapping, Arboriculture and Park Principles,
Plant Propagation and small property development.
The student begins to apply the skills learned by
making a design of a given area and developing that
into a master or sight model.

Operations 1975-1976

Turf

As the increase of public and private grounds,
parks, and golf courses sweep the country, so does
the need for more practicly trained persons in the
field of Turf Management.

The turf student, not only has the knowledge of
maintaining such areas, but also the know how of
constructing and designing these areas as well. The
courses offered to a turf student gives them the
rounded experiance to enter many different areas in
their field of endeavor

The ideals of beautiful green grassed rolling hills,
become reality with the hiring of the students in
this major.

IN MEMORIAM

Stephen Raymond Kosakowski

Steve died suddenly on March 28.
For many years he suffered from blind-
ness due to glaucoma but continued
teaching and coaching until the time of
his death. He was born in Amherst and
worked for UMass since his Stock-
bridge placement training with Prof.
Lyle Blundell in the summer of 1939,
leaving during 1941-1945 for a tour of
duty in the Army. Steve was Athletic
Director at Stockbridge since 1947 as
well as football coach and then soccer
coach until 1968. Steve's first athletic
love was tennis, which he began playing
at Amherst College when he was nine
years old. He became the teaching pro
at the Stockbridge Country Club where
he taught artist, Norman Rockwell, and
actor, Edward Everett Horton. It was
natural for him to be made Tennis
Coach at UMass in 1949 — his teams
had a 174-68 dual meet record and 13
Yankee Conference championships.
More than any other UMass coach.

His athletic participation in High
School as well as Stockbridge included
baseball, basketball, football, and hock-
ey. The 1940 SHORTHORN football
writeup of the 12-6 win over Deerfield
reads . . .

Steve Kosakowski Class of 1940

He disappeared in the dead of winter:

The brooks were frozen, the airports almost deserted.

And snow disfigured the public statues:

The mercury sank in the mouth of the dying day.

O all the instruments agree

The day of his death was a dark cold day.

— W. H. Auden

"Unexcelled on the field was our own
Steve "Murph" Kosakowski, who
played an outstanding game at left end.
"Murph" as well as blocking two Deer-
field punts, which paved the way for
both our touchdowns, upset many of the
Deerfield threats."

Steve studied Horticulture, was presi-
dent of the senior class, president of the
Horticulture Club, and played four
sports. Steve was given a gold "S"
award by the Alumni Association and
Dean Jeffrey devoted a page to Steve in
the Fall of 1969 Alumni News.

On June 5th, 1976 an award was pre-
sented to Steve by UMass making him
an honorary alumnus.

Steve Kosakowski was one of the few
people to have the yearbook dedicated
to him more than once.

The Stockbridge fraternity Alpha Tau Gama's is open
only to Stockie males interested in joining. ATG offers its
members cuisine an alternative to dorm living with home-
cooked meals, snacks and a real home like living atmo-
sphere than could not be obtained in a dorm situation
with Dining Common food.

The brothers of the house welcome anyone interested
in looking over the house and life style to drop in for a
visit. The door is always open and company is always
welcome.

In its first year, SSA the Stockbridge Sorority
has shown tremendous growth and potential. It
began as a far sighted idea last spring, when a
few students decided to find an alternative living
situation for Stockbridge women. Finally after a
summer of planning, the idea became reality
when the first eight girls moved into "The Red
House" last September.

The sorority is not a typical one. While some
activities and meetings include all the sisters, the
house also stresses individuality and personal
growth. The girls run all business, finances and
house maintenance themselves which provides a
practical learning experience you just can't find
in a dorm.

This year has been a busy one as far as social
activities go. Along with parties throughout the
year, they also held their First Annual "Pledge
Informal" and "Parents' Day Barbeque." Being
a member of the Greek System, they also par-
ticipate in Greek activities and house exchanges
with other fraternities and sororities. But there's
plenty of time for study, and it's reflected in the
relatively high cums of the girls living there. The
sisters are also animal oriented, and the house
menagerie consists of everything from mice up to
boa constrictors.

The house ended its first year with a total of
twenty-four sisters. If the enthusiasm and spirit
that was generated this year continues, then
SSA will definitely continue for many years to
come.

SOCCER MVP

Charles Peck

Soccer is an intense sport, which
calls for quick reactions and excel-
lent muscle tone. Both of these quali-
ties were met by the sure-footed Ag.
students of Stockbridge, and with the
Dean in the cheerleaders section;
how could we lose!

Teamwork is and was an impor-
tant part of the teams experience
playing together. In so much as
Stockbridge being a small school and
therefore a close knit school; so you
can imagine how close the team be-
came during the season.

Many friendships were made and
shall be remembered throughout the
years to come, along with the exper-
iences that will never be forgotten.

nk!^ i

.__J

Basketball in Stockbridge was on a small scale, taking up much of the students
time in practice sessions and games. But to the boys that made the team, it was all
worth while, and the excitement of the sport was always increased tenfold when the
Dean made an appearance. Although the number of fans at the games were low,
the teams spirit never ceased throughout the season. The games won and lost will
bring back many memories to those who played the game and represented Stock-
bridge in their own way.

The Stockbridge Girls Intramural Basket-
ball Team got off and rolling this year and
along the way encountered many problems.
With no coach only two girls who had played
before, we had lots of fun, laughs and frustra-
tions teaching the fundamentals ten minutes
before the first game started. We did it and
with each game we improved our skills until
at last we felt like a team. When the season
ended, we felt deep satisfaction that we had
improved and become a team which could put
up a strong fight to win.

The Girls Softball Team ended their first sea-
son with two super wins and two losses to their
credit. For a team that never had a chance to
practice or play together, they did remarkably
well, improving with each game.

The Team spirit and the will to learn and
improve from mistakes was the strength of this
Team. Any Stockbridge girl interested in laming
the game and playing on the Team can become
an active member.

The History Of

Three years prior to the 1918 opening of the Two- Year Course of
practical agriculture, that in 1928 became the Stockbridge School of
Agriculture, there was a grand celebration for the dedication of the then
most important building on the Massachusetts Agricultural College
(MAC) Campus, Stockbridge Hall. Levi Stockbridge had died in 1904 and
now in 1915 the grandest building on campus would bear his name. It is
then fitting that every student of the School make himself/herself familiar
with the life and character and achievements of the Hadley farm boy, who,
prevented from going to college himself, founded a college and became its
president.

Although his brother Henry was allowed to attend Amherst College and
eventually became a successful lawyer in Maryland, Levi had to stay on the
North Hadley farm to work with his father. However, he studied at home
the same lessons of his brother. Then getting posession of a farm, he made it
a success. In 1848 he began to write on agricultural subjects for the local
newspapers. In 1855 the town of Hadley sent him to the State Legislature
where he advocated for the establishment of an agricultural college. The
1862 Morrill Land Grant Act signed by President Lincoln provided the
means to finance a college. An Amherst College professor. Colonel William
S. Clark, and Stockbridge, both successfully argued for its location in
Amherst.

Soon, Levi Stockbridge, now 37, was summoned from his farm to erect
the first buildings, superintend the farm, and instruct the first students in
1867. Without scientific apparatus, library, and training in the science of
agriculture, he founded the department of agriculture and laid the founda-
tion so well that in 1871 he was made the first professor of Agriculture. His
science was built not upon theories, but upon demonstrated facts from
which he discovered and related the underlying principles.

Levi Stockbridge was the shrewd, level-headed man of the faculty, the
balance-wheel, the "father confessor", the "ever-present help in time ol
need". That need was from the students, faculty, and the college itself.

From his office in the chamber over the woodshed, of what we now call
the Stockbridge House, he paid the employees, wrote lectures, planned
experiments, and greeted students, faculty, and visitors. So great was his
contribution and ability that Levi Stockbridge, the Hadley farmer, was
elected fifth president of the college. It was not uncommon for Stockbridge
to personally sign and guarantee the notes of bank loans of the college. His
experiments with chemicals applied to growing plants led to his formula!
for mixing fertilizers which one of his students manufactured and market-
ed. In this, the infancy of our University, the value of such experimentatioi
was apparent to the agricultural community. Special centers of agricultura
research had already been established in Europe and in some parts of thf
United States. But, Massachusetts had not yet brought itself to the point ol
financially supporting such research. In 1878 Professor Levi Stockbridg(
gave $1,000 of his personal funds from the sale of his fertilizers to financ(
an experiment station for one year. Four years later, when Presiden
Stockbridge resigned, the State Legislature finally became so convinced o:
the value of such research as to appropriate $3,000 for the founding of thf
Massachusetts State Agricultural Experiment Station. This act of th(
General Court established the first State Experiment Station in the Unitee
States connected with a State University. Three years later the Director o
the Station, Professor Charles Goessmann, saw to the erection of a $I5,00(
chemical laboratory that we know today as the West Experiment Statior
(just south of the $18,000,000 Graduate Research Center).

Soon the entire country became aware of the benefits to be derived fron
such stations. In 1887 Congress passed the Experiment Station Law, bette

Stockbridge Hall

giving here, vocational education combined with practical training. He
believed a man was trained in some degree who could do anything well,
hold a plow or make a plow. He felt that we had held up too long as our
ideal the Websters and Everetts, the orators and writers; placing manner
before matter, forgetting that men at their benches could think and would
think, as clearly and sanely as men who were trained to express themselves
in polished English, thus, the sooner we reconized trained men in all walks
of life, the better it would be for society."

James E. Mulcahy, ARBORICULTURE '60

known as the Hatch Act, which authorized the expenditure of federal funds
for the creation of agricultural experiment stations at the Land Grant
Colleges.

So it was on October 2, 1915 that the MAC students informally dedi-
cated the building with an afternoon of sport and barbecue. It may seem
strange for an Agricultural College to wait almost fifty years for its
Building of Agriculture. In some sister State Colleges it was the first
building to be erected. But at MAC it was an evolution of ideas, five years
in the planning, and two years in the building at a cost of $210,000, fully
equipped, that has prevented it from becoming obsolete.

The building is fireproof throughout — the walls are of brick and
limestone, roofs of slate and metal, and floor of steel and concrete. Very
little wood is used in the interior and all cross partitions are of gypsum
block finished in hard plaster. Artistically it approaches in simplicity strict
New England architecture with a touch of the Greek in the large modified
Ionian columns that adorn the front entrance.

The formal dedication on Friday, October 29, 1 9 1 5 was given a crowning
touch by the address of William H. Bowker, one of the pioneer class of
1867 and a student of Levi Stockbridge. He recounted the development of
production agricultural techniques that started out as field exercises: seed
selection and testing, grading of fruit, field drainage, etc. Bowker went on
to say "... To my mind, Stockbridge was an ideal field teacher. For one
thing, he was always enthusiastic, cheerful and patient. He was never "dry
as dust". He was a brilliant talker and writer, as most men of vision are apt
to be. He saw beyond his work. He saw its possibilities, the ultimate
outcome. He knew that what he was doing in the field was crude, but he
knew it was the beginning of better things.

Professor Stockbridge typified in a measure the kind of education we are

Stockbridge Hall — today

Stockbridge Hall was originally designed for: t) Basement — class rooms; soil lab; storage vaults; locker room & cement lab 2} Floor 1 — lecture rooms &
offices 3) Floor 2 — library; reading room; large agronomy labs; rooms for poultry, an. husbandry & agronomy; production records storage 4) Floor 3 —

Editor's Note

It is July and besides being the last page in this bock this is also one of my last jobs as editor.
It is both a sad and happy time.

As I look back upon the past year I remember times of a warm and helpful staff, of
circumstances easy and hard, of experiences I will never forget. With these memories I only
hope that within these pages you will find in words and pictures the good times you have had
here at Stockbridge.

I also hope that you will believe in the important role your ancestors have played in the past
200 years and your even more important role in the years to come.

People say that the next frontier is space, but in agriculture, I believe, that our deserts and.
oceans will become the frontiers of greater importance. With the knowledge you have taken
from this school I am sure you will better agriculture for today and tomorrow whether it be
for food, research, beauty or pleasure.

Special thanks to Chris, Cheryl, Sue and Dolores for their extra help that makes my job
much easier. Thanks also to Don Lendry (American Publishing Representative) and his
help with tying the staff together, new ideas for layout and special effects and his coopera-
tion.

Good luck to you all in the world.
