My thanks to the Margaret Clapp Library at Wellesley College for providing solace, space, and expertise. Also thanks to Dr. Robert DeMartino for medical details; Jeanne Bracken, reference librarian at the Lincoln Public Library, for all the rest; Carol Edwards, my copyeditor; Sarah Durand, my editor; and always, Faith Hamlin, my agent. And to Dick Aylward of Waterbury, Vermont, thanks for the information—and for keeping “Pine Slopes” going all these years.
