Memoir of the Sunday Brunch
Page 19
To Bill Boelter, many thanks for keeping me employed, and to the gang at the Boelter SuperStore, thanks for being so flexible. To my family and friends around Wisconsin and the country, Chrissy & Bill, Pam & Tom, Patty & Mike, Patty, Clare, Kathy, Nikki, Shannon, Betsy, Peggy, Anne, Jenna & Margaret, thank you for booking events and spreading the word. And to those of you whom I will be hitting up in the near future, thank you in advance. To every book club that has invited me to join them so far, thank you for the delicious food, drinks, and conversation.
To Debbie, Debbie, and Jayson, my beloved San Jamar friends, thanks for being so understanding when I quit what was, without a doubt, the best job I’ll ever have. Thanks for reading my pages month after month, typos and all. And thanks for not letting me run up those bar tabs alone. Todd, thanks for taking the glamour shot. I don’t do glamour, so I know it wasn’t easy. Peggy, Gerry, Meg, Lisa, Susie, Julie B., Shelly, Cris, Patti, and Craig, thanks for listening to me prattle on about writing this book for the past twenty years and for encouraging me to finally take the leap and do it. Paul Burgoyne, thanks for helping me step on to the right path. Tom Pop, thanks for teaching me how to fold pizza. Maddy Steele, thanks for choosing a piece of the book for competition and taking it out for a test drive. Judy, even though it made me want to cry, thanks for advising me to retype. Carolyn, thanks so much for your first words of encouragement. You have no idea how they helped me keep going. Thanks for your fabulous editing and your honest commentary. I never would have finished without you.
If I have forgotten you, come on over and I’ll make you dinner.
