     Glenda Burhoe — From time to time dur— 
     
     ing a lO—year—period, Glenda typed the 
     
     first draft after deciphering my longhand 
     
     for most of the content in this book. 
     
     Frequently. there was a deadline to meet. 
     
     It was her positive attitude, encourage— 
     
     ment and expertise that helped to keep 
     
     the book on track for the first few years. 
     
     Her typing and editing skills were cer— 
     
     tainly appreciated. Thanks, Glenda. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Jerry McCabe — His passion for harness 
     
     racing history in the Atlantic provinces 
     
     and his expert computer skills were of 
     
     paramount importance in the production 
     
     of this book. Jerry spent hours on his 
     
     computer digitizing pictures and content 
     
     for the graphic designer and the publish- 
     
     er. Jerry‘s attendance and suggestions at 
     
     our book meetings were really appreciat— 
     
     ed. From the conception of this book, 
     
     _lerry has gone out of his way to assist 
     
     and support whenever requested. His 
     
     many contributions were invaluable. 
     
     'I‘hanks, Jerry. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Shannon Murray — He is a superb 
     
     graphic designer. He also has a passion 
     
     for animals, sports and detail. He helped 
     
     me understand and appreciate the role 
     
     and expertise of a graphic designer. The 
     
     total appearance of this book and the 
     
     presentation of the content were 
     
     Shannon's decisions. He is a real profes— 
     
     sional and an amazing talent. He takes 
     
     great pride in his work as evidenced by 
     
     his attention to detail. 
     
    

    
     Thanks, Shannon. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Larry Resnitzky — He has a passion for 
     
     history and for harness racing. I am 
     
     thankful that he saw enough of both in 
     
     my profiles to be preserved in a book. 
     
     Larry performed many roles in the pro— 
     
     duction of Behind the Gale. He chaired 
     
     our meetings; he was the publisher; and 
     
     without his acumen, direction, encour— 
     
     agement, experience and positive atti— 
     
     tude, Behind the Gate would not have 
     
     been completed. Thanks, Larry. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Nancy Resnitzky — She is a professional 
     
     writer and editor whose literary talents I 
     
     learned to appreciate from her valuable 
     
     contributions to Behind the Gate. Time 
     
     and time again, Nancy‘s editorial skills 
     
     amazed me. She also typed the second, 
     
     third and fourth drafts of this book. 
     
     Thanks, Nancy.
