Acknowledgements

    Who writes any book, even a memoir, in isolation? I know I would not have brought this project to completion without the help, encouragement, and support of many people. Nor could I have lived the life depicted without the involvement of the movement people who lived and loved and worked to end the war and the draft. I will forever hold them all in my heart, even if I have inadvertently missed some of their names in this list.

    First of all, I must credit Gini Holland and Noah Tabakin for their inspiration, encouragement, editorial advice, support, and their incredible ability to make me laugh. Laughter has been the essential ingredient of our lives together. Paul Caster stands for dedication to craft and vision. Dave Gutknecht was assigned the role of Mentor by me, as was Alex (Sandy) Wilkinson, by virtue of their knowledge, understanding, patience, compassion, and wit. Dave provided food, shelter, memories, editorial support, and high times during the research phase, and Alex also contributed invaluable editorial advice and memory validation. Mark Sachner and MaryLee Knowlton served as grammar mavens. I am much obliged to Paul Lacques for an early read with commentary. No thank you or acknowledgement would even be possible without the support of Chaz Bufe, publisher for See Sharp Press, whose editorial expertise and encouragement have made this book a reality.

    I owe a special thank you to the Quaker Friends Meeting of Minneapolis.

Thanks are due to the many librarians and staff members of the many agencies that helped me find and/or figure out so many links to the past, especially The Swarthmore College Peace Collection, The Minnesota Historical Society, The Minnesota Daily Archives, Kaleidoscope (Milwaukee), The Wisconsin Historical Society, The Houston County Historical Society, The Winona County Historical Society, The Milwaukee Public Library, The Minneapolis Public Library, The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries Digital Collections and Initiatives, Laurie Scheer and the faculty and staff at The Writers’ Institute of the University of Wisconsin—Madison’s Division of Continuing Studies, The Reference Services Branch of the Electronic Records Division of the National Archives and Records Administration, and Matt Olson for web design.

    Following are the names of the people I know supported the Resistance in Minnesota during the Sixties. It is by no means a complete list, but it represents my best efforts to remember and identify all those involved. If I have missed anyone who belongs here, I apologize:
