In Albany I am indebted to Leon Van Dyke of the Brothers, whom I have known for forty-six years; also Brothers Earl Thorpe and the late Sam McDowell; also my old friend Peter O’Brien; the late Olivia Rorie; the late George Bunch; the late jazz pianist Jody Bolden (a.k.a. Bobby Henderson); Hank O’Neal, who salvaged Jody’s work; my legal counselor, David Duncan; Father Nellis Tremblay; the late Reverend James U. Smythe; Larry Burwell; the late Dottie Ann Kite; Jane Schneider; Michael Nardolillo; Richard Collins; my splendid researcher, Suzanne Roberson; my editor, Paul Slovak; my agent, Andrew Wylie; my perennial translator, Betsy Lopez Viglucci; and my early readers: the poet Peg Boyers, my son Brendan, and my gorgeous wife, Dana.
