Acknowledgments
The full institutional history of the CPWF is as diverse and unique as each of
the individuals that have contributed to it. I thank the following people for
taking the time to share their CPWF experiences and memories with me:
Jennie Barron, Boru Douthwaite, Kim Geheb, Pamela George, Amanda
Harding, Larry W. Harrington, Tonya Schuetz, Alain Vidal and Jonathan
Woolley. I thank Sharon Perera for her invaluable help in tracking down a
decade's worth of program documentation. Finally, I thank Andy Hall and
Michael Victor for their contributions in shaping the framework and style of
this chapter.
