Thanks If it were possible to invent another word besides THANK YOU to express my gratitude to the people who have seen me through this program, I would certainly attempt it. There are many to thank, and the first is my long-suffering, patient husband, Tim. Thank you for never complaining about having to run to Sonic for supper yet again, or my skipping out on social or church obligations, or staying up through the wee hours of the morning to finish just one last thing. . . You are a rare find! I think so even after 35 years of marriage!

My adult children, Holly, Chara, and Janna, who have families of their own, each took time to be a colleague, a sounding board, or an encourager at many points during this program. My own mother used to say that it was wonderful when the students surpassed the teacher! I am grateful and thankful for the wonderful young women these three daughters have become.

My professors and fellow students have been invaluable resources and fountains of knowledge through this journey. Special thanks go to fellow students Patty Odom, Lynda Hoffpauir, and Leanne Knight for working so hard on our group projects and making me look good! Drs. Abernathy, Abshire and Mason have always been so encouraging that it is a delight to be in a web conference with them. Thank you for ceaselessly and patiently answering the same questions over and over again!
