ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
couraged me to proceed with my own project, and because the pen and
ink drawings which my father created for her book contributed to its
success, I felt I could do no better here than to follow the examples set by
my parents.
Ihave saved my editor, Lorna Price Dittmer, until the end because she
is bound to have the last word anyway. But there is another and better
reason: it was she who put the magic into this mix, announcing that we
were about to enjoy every kind of success. She did this so often and so
well that all of us began to believe her and so we all worked even harder.
Whether or not all the good things happen which she predicts, Lorna is
one of the very best things to happen to me. I enjoy sending my work off
to her because I know that it will be returned in far better condition than
it departed.
As . look over these paragraphs I see that I have included more women
than men, which doesn’t surprise me. That’s how I like it. And for those
of you who may ask (as Lorna did), ‘What about your wife, you clod!?”
I repeat the words of dedication: without Ardis Hatten Comstock there
would have been no book.
