our daughter Kristen, who was always considerate of a father who
needed quiet to think and write. Professors Gary and Marjorie Hafer
(along with all the faculty irregulars) were free with their encouragement
and hospitality, as were Cyril Quatrone, Professor Valerie Sajez, the late
Fr Adrian Pollard, Fr Thomas Edwards, Fr Eugene Vansuch, Ed
Bartholomew, Jesse O’Hare, Chris Butynskyi, Athanasia Ellmore, and
the members of St Nicholas Parish. I must thank Professor Allen C.
Guelzo of Gettysburg College, whose scholarly habits have inspired me,
whose friendship has emboldened me, who has acted at times as the
hound of heaven (and other places) in my completing this project, who
first gave me the idea to write about Jewel, and who I believe could have
done a much better job. Lastly I must thank my mother, who first taught
me hard work, who no doubt is surprised that I of her sons wrote such
a book, and who with my late father showed me what it took to put my
hand to the plow and not to look back. I wish he could have seen it.
