A Note of Gratitude

Abstract

A Note of Gratitude Stephen Donadio In this time of continuing financial uncertainty, we are pleased to say that many people have again come forward to offer their support for the New England Review. All of us here at NER would like to express our sincere thanks to the friends who have committed themselves to sustaining us—authors, subscribers, and general readers—and we want especially to indicate our deep indebtedness to the numerous donors who have confirmed their participation in our efforts. In keeping with our promise, we here present the names of those whose financial contributions were received in 2011. Their gifts have helped to insure the ongoing publication of NER, and we are immensely grateful for the generosity and confidence that they have demonstrated. We’d also like to acknowledge the efforts of the Middlebury College administration and the Office of College Advancement, who have provided continuing fundraising support, and to express our thanks to the office of College Communications, especially senior designer Carey Bass, for helping us to complete an important design update, which begins with this issue. Our deep thanks as well to the department of Library and Information Services, for technical assistance with our new expanded website —s.d. 2011 Patrons Stephen Bowen Susan & George L.
