The Body in the Snowdrift (28 page)

My thanks to the Margaret Clapp Library at Wellesley College for providing solace, space, and expertise. Also thanks to Dr. Robert DeMartino for medical details; Jeanne Bracken, reference librarian at the Lincoln Public Library, for all the rest; Carol Edwards, my copyeditor; Sarah Durand, my editor; and always, Faith Hamlin, my agent. And to Dick Aylward of Waterbury, Vermont, thanks for the information—and for keeping “Pine Slopes” going all these years.
