Acknowledgements
With gratitude, I acknowledge the conversations, mutual learning, advice, and criticisms of David Fasenfest and the staff at Brill, especially my editors Christine Hededam and Judy Pereira. From my Ohio State University years, the late Chris Zacher, the late Robert Holub, and the late Brian McHale; colleague-friends Steve Rissing, Mike Bevis, Alan Farmer, Sarah Neville, Randy Roth, Brian Joseph, Tom Mauger, Phil Binkley, Peter Shane, Mary Cayton, colleagues and friends; and my OSU students, 2004 and continuing now.
I also thank my non-Ohio State colleague-friends from 1973 on: Paul Mattingly, Steve Weissman, Jerry Jacobs, Michael Wilson, Johanna Drucker, Dan Orlovsky, Michael Frisch, and Bob Bradley.
I acknowledge with gratitude my medical team who keeps me going strong in my mid-70s: now in Chicago: Shelley Betman, Matthew Goren, Jon Rudenstein, Bruce Bever, Taylor Newman, Deyger Navarrete, and Srinadh Komanduri; and in Columbus: Cindi Kreger, Tom Mauger, Peter Zafirides, Andy Toth, Bill Stehle, Andrea Sawchyn, and Becky Kuennen.
The research reported in Chapter 7 was supported by a research grant from the Center for Real Estate, Fisher College of Business, The Ohio State University; the graduate research assistance of Chloe Tull; and the sharing of some information by Amanda Hoffsis, then President and Steven Sterrett, former Director of Public Relations, Campus Partners. Ellen Manovich commented on an earlier version of this chapter.
Once more and forever, I thank Vicki Graff. As I wrote in 1979, “for whom there are no appropriate words. She understands.” That is unchanged.
