First, the members of my committee, the late Dr. Robert Zieger, Dr. Vassiliki (Betty) Smokovitis, Dr. Joseph Spillane, Dr. Paul Ortiz, and Dr. Joseph Delfino, and especially my mentor, invaluable advice and guidance through the process of writing the dissertation. Second, archivists and librarians at several institutions provided assistance with research, helping me locate materials that I would never have been able to find on my own. I would like to thank the archivists of the Swarthmore College Peace Collection, the National Archives and Records Administration in College Park, Maryland, the Department of Special Collections at Johns Hopkins, and the State Archives of Florida in Tallahassee. My research started at the University of Florida’s George A. Smathers libraries, and I would like to thank the staff at Marston Science Library, the Health Science Center library, Library West, the history room at the Borland Library in Jacksonville, and most especially my friends at the Department of Special and Area Studies Collections. Mil Willis, Flo Turcotte, David Hickey, John Nemmers, Bruce Chappell, Pam Cunningham-Willis, Joel Buchanan, Dr. James Cusick, and the rest of the staff helped provide encouragement and a job when I needed one.
