R. Barton Palmer recognizes those fellow students and faculty, members of the Dartmouth College Film Society in 1964–1965, who spared neither time nor expense in mounting the first American retrospective of the films of Alfred Hitchcock, which was complete save for those then unavailable for exhibition. To an eighteen-year old undergraduate, the experience in the Hopkins Center theater, week after week, was more than enlightening and gave rise to a life-changing enthusiasm.
Homer B. Pettey would like to thank his friend and fellow admirer of Hitchcock, the late crossword genius Merl Reagle; his pals in crime, Carter Burwell and Chip Johannessen, who continually open his eyes to the magic of the industry; and especially to the loved ones who make his life better, Jennifer and Melissa.
Steven M. Sanders thanks his parents, Herb and Ruth Sanders, for bringing him and his sister Lynn to the Gables Theatre to see Vertigo, best friend Mike Stephans for sharing in the horror at the Trail Theater screening of Psycho, and his wife Christeen for aiding and abetting (to say nothing of abating) numerous viewings of Hitch’s films.
