Thanks to Ineke

It takes courage to correct other people's writing. I know because I do it for part of my living, and I know how thin-skinned most of my students are. But my attitude is that good editing only makes me look better and saves me from stupid mistakes.

Ineke had that courage and has saved me from a large number of those mistakes. Her local knowledge, her willingness to look up names and place names that I didn't look up because I was lazy and mostly writing late at night--those are my excuse, anway--have improved my work here considerably.

Thank you, Ineke.
