Acknowledgments

Thank you, Alice Rowan, my editor, publisher, and newfound friend in Christ. It was purely “God-incidental” that your name was given to me twice within one hour of hearing “you need to publish this book!” You are gentle, kind, smart, compassionate, and such a gift to me. I am so glad we met, not just because you are the wonderful editor that you are, but because it has made the journey to becoming an author that much more enjoyable. We have shared many laughs, hugs, and even a few tears along the way and it’s all been a gift to me. ~ Mary Hendel McCafferty, Born Again in Medjugorje: A Memoir, Not Forgotten Publications, June 2012, p. 80.

Thank you to my dear friend and editor Alice S. Morrow Rowan of Not Forgotten Publishing Services, whose persistence, expertise, and friendship guided me in turning into a book the pages Dad composed on a manual typewriter. ~ Mary L. Carson Reehling, Not Forgotten Publications, The Quarry: A Novel, July 2012, p. vi.

Thank you to ... Alice Morrow Rowan, my editor, who encouraged me to share my journals written after Clete’s death. When I would go into panic mode and feel overwhelmed, she gave me the courage to go on. ~ Nancy S. Gibble, Nan & Clete . . . and Then There Was One: Finding a New Normal After a Traumatic Death, Not Forgotten Publications, February 2013, p. 145.

First, I want to thank my editor, Alice Morrow Rowan. She has helped me fix my first attempt at telling my story and it is now in much better form. The personal connection has been a large improvement over “self-publishing.” ~ Loraine Seavey Nixon Martin, Forget Me Not: A Tough and Tender Memoir, Not Forgotten Publications, March 2013, p. 357.

We thank especially Alice Morrow Rowan, who diligently retyped the journal and prepared it for publication. ~ The Cloistered Dominican Nuns of the Perpetual Rosary, Lancaster, PA, The Notebooks of the Reverend Damien Marie Saintourens, OP, Not Forgotten Publications, October 2013, p. 243.

At our first meeting, Alice learned a little about me and I learned a little about her. I quickly realized that she had more than just an intellectual understanding of what the book was to be about. Her strong faith in God and in His love and compassion for the poor has powerfully shaped, and been shaped by, many experiences in her own life. . . . If this book does indeed move you to make that initial inquiry, its purpose will be fulfilled, and I will be forever grateful to Alice for making it happen. (Her Afterword as well as the book’s final pages, which I insisted she include, give further glimpses into who she is and what she does.) ~ Deacon Michael J. Oles, Help the Homeless OFF THE STREETS One Person at a Time, Not Forgotten Publications, May 2014, pp. 121–122.

I must express my gratitude . . .  to Alice Morrow Rowan for her wonderful editing work. ~ Jonathan Inda, Racial Prescriptions: Pharmaceuticals, Difference, and the Politics of Life, Routledge, September 2014, p. viii.

I am especially grateful to Alice for making my dream of publishing this book a reality. ~ Dorcas L. Stoltzfus Morrow, Begin by Loving Again: My Safari from Farm Girl to Missionary Doctor to Wife and Mother, Not Forgotten Publications, October 2015, p. 517.

Alice Morrow Rowan, the publisher, . . . encouraged and helped me to combine my ideas and Mary’s notes into this book. ~ Kathryn J. Frey, I Am Alive and This Is My Life: Mary Regina Frey, Not Forgotten Publications, April 2017, p. 87.

I thank Alice Morrow Rowan for her tireless work in the editing, layout, and production of this beautiful book. Without her impeccable eye for every small detail and her ability to clean up and beautify 70-year-old photos with such patience, Dear Snooks would not be what it is today.... Thank you, Alice. You are amazing and an expert at what you do! Joey and I are so thankful to you for making this dream a reality. ~ Mary Hendel McCafferty, Dear Snooks: Letters of Love—A Sampling of the 345 Letters Written by Captain John P. McCafferty to His Beloved Mary (O'Donnell) McCafferty During World War II, 1944–1946, Not Forgotten Publications, August 2017, p. xiii.
