No one played a greater role in assisting my work than Carole Levin, a tireless supporter of mine throughout my graduate education and professional career. Charles Beem, Amy Burnett, Jessica Coope, Susan Doran, Jeannette Jones, Peter Maslowski, Susan Maxwell, Ken MacMillan, and Julia Schleck all offered encouragement and advice, while Kathy Johnson and Heather Wolfe polished my research and paleographic skills.
