      Acknowledgments

      This has been a labor of love, and all sorts of people have helped. I’d like to single out John S. Bowman, A. C. Doyle, Elise Bernier-Feeley, and all the people I grew up with in the 1970s, back when Boston was the city close-by, but which had all sorts of romance and allure for the outsider. Thanks also to Roger Jänecke and Kevin Hile, the people who keep Visible Ink cranking. On a material level, I need to thank the super little Honda Fit that carried me round the streets of Boston time and time again.
