Thanks also to Barney and the Krewe of Karpfinger, for efforts above and beyond the call of duty; to my stellar editor, Chris Pepe, for keen-eyed stewardship, inspiring conversation, and infinite patience; to Erin, Ivan, Stephanie, Summer, and everyone else at Putnam and Penguin Group (USA) for their faith and enthusiasm.
Merci beaucoup to the Tragically Hip, a great band whose powerful, inspiring music helped me write this book.
Thanks also to Syracuse University, for preserving the stunning, heartbreaking photography of Burton Blatt and for their online resources, and to Kevin Walsh and forgotten-ny.com.
All of my love to my magnificent wife, AC Lambeth. The true compass of my heart and soul, you always light my way.
