acknowledgments
Many generous family members, friends, and acquaintances helped me in a variety of ways to bring this book to fruition. Special thanks go to my husband, Johann, and my children, Erin, Dallas, and Kyle, for believing in me and for being the best cheerleaders any writer could ever want.
I offer warm thanks to those outstanding women who shared their time-honored recipes, graciously allowed their heirlooms to be used in photographs, and encouraged me through countless conversations; to Judy Olson and Deb Skarnulis for being selfless, loyal, and giving friends who make me laugh out loud; and to the scores of contributing food consultants and set designers: Nardine Alsobrook, Martha Bouchard, Bonnie Butters, Karen Crab, Anis Duncan, Lisa Easley, Doris Ferguson, Nancy Gouch, Ann Grabski, Camille Grabski, Mary Heath, Laura Hintz, Sherry Hirsch, Ingrid Kerr, Judy Kinn, Judy Lammering, Cathee Laughlin, Sara Lee, Maria Martinez, Kyle McDougal, Melody Merrick, Lucy Newman, Sarah Peck, Ruth Loving Ramon, Alice Redpath, Kathy Sayers, Kathy Snodell, Terry Spahn, Cheryl Swift, Maggie Triplett, and Carleen Urban.
I am grateful to Steve Sellers for his unique abilities with digital photography. His patience and guidance are greatly appreciated.
The artistic and creative talents of both Mary and Martin Austin are acknowledged and greatly appreciated.
I would like to thank the many anonymous men and women who have kindly and good-naturedly shared their predicaments with me, enabling me to put pen to paper and write this book. Special thanks are due to Butterball® for helping people to celebrate Thanksgiving for more than half a century. I am particularly grateful to the women of the Butterball® Turkey Talk-Line® for their many years of professionalism, generosity, and personal kindness.
Thanks as well to Judy Martin, owner of The Perfect Thing, for allowing me to come into her antique store and photograph sets using the beautiful antiques there.
Many thanks to Spike O’Dell, who was an unwitting source of encouragement and quiet tenacity, allowing me to stay the course and move forward with my idea.
Every book needs an editor and I enthusiastically thank Jane Broderick for her talents and for keeping me focused. A special thanks to Marcy Claman for being a sounding board, artist, teacher, and production coordinator in guiding this book on its journey to publication. You are the greatest!
