Additional Accolades

My wife - Kelly has been the most supportive and patient partner ever!  We have put so much on hold for me to finish this. She has been carrying more than her share of the day-to-day load. Looking forward to getting back to both fun and normal life stuff.  Thank you!

George Becker - George engaged in many back and forth emails. He provided his full suite of high-redshift quasar spectra for my use and digitized some of his previous published data for me.  He was generally generous.  He was also very helpful for discussions on the Epoch of Reionization.

Gwen Rudie  - Gwen generously made a special plot for me illustrating her complex Voigt profile fitting of a high-redshift absorbers with multiphase ionization.  She also took time to explain to me her detailed approach to a hairy absorption line system!

Sameer  - Sameer worked very hard with me to help ensure I properly described his cutting-edge multi-cloud multiphase ionization modeling methods accurately. He also generously modeled a system of my choice and created the plot that appears in that chapter. He also did some proofing of the text as well, for which I am most grateful.  

There are several others who also provided small bits of data and spectra. If I have not named you here, please know that your contributions and/or encouragements are highly valued. Thank you to all the authors of the amazing research papers who approved the use of their scientific illustrations. Finally, I would like to think my closest collaborators, Glenn Kacprzak, Nikole Nielsen, Jane Charlton, Sameer, Ben Oppenheimer, and Bart Wakker. They have been so generously patient with me as I literally stepped away from our collaborative research efforts while working to finalize this book. And yet, they each continued to included me and give me shared credit as if I was still making useful contributions (which I wasn't!). Thank you team. Looking forward to getting back into the game.
