I would like to record here my sincere thanks to the many people who have helped me with this project.  There are too many individuals to name, but they include many retired SMOs, relatives of SMOs who have passed on, and colleagues who knew previous SMOs better than I did.  Also, a big thankyou to the staff of the resource institutions listed above.  I greatly value their expertise, their many helpful suggestions, and their enthusiasm for my project.
