Читать книгу Down to the Potter’s House - Annette Valentine - Страница 7

I wish to thank many friends whose dogged support was a pillar of strength in times when I needed it most. A good word, an encouraging word, and the kindnesses that kept me pushing never went unnoticed. Thank you for the generosity of sincere interest and constructive input that impacted me on a daily basis.

I am especially grateful for Treva Horne who willingly researched details and whose listening ear provided a valuable sounding board, for Sharilyn Grayson who kept me focused on my goals, for Karen Anderson whose graciousness revitalized me, for my brother Hal Hadden and his wife Linda who were a beacon of light—a bright reminder of the significance of a mission accomplished, for my brother Joe Hadden who breathed life into my confidence, my brother Morris Hadden who held me to a high standard, and for my husband Walt who never flagged in his affirmation or gentleness.

Thank you to Maxine Bivins, Janet Keith, Gayle Ward, Jenny Gremillion, Marsha Whittlesey, Mary Armistead, Cherie Feinberg, Brent Dickson, Michael Neal, Kathy Zimmerman, Karen Jones, Mica Copeland, and Jerolyn Smith without whose advocacy I would have been far less equipped for the writing journey.
