Acknowledgments

Various personnel have contributed generously to the preparation of this chronology. In the past eleven years, first one organization and then another has had a variety of responsibility for its preparation. Therefore, seekers of more detailed information may well appreciate the names of people who have contributed to various versions. At MSFC Mr. Robert Sampson of Research and Development Operations and Mr. Harold Price of Industrial Operations were pioneers in preparing the chronology's early versions. Later Mrs. Evelyn Falkowski, Mrs. Rowene Dunlap, Miss Ruth Jarrell, Mrs. Lois Ford, Mrs. Betty Davis, and Mr. Leo L. Jones, all of Management Services Office, Historical Office, have helped much in either writing, editing, or researching for the document. Of help throughout has been Mr. Bill Ziak of the Scientific and Technical Information Division, Management Services Office. For other assistance, including layout, we are also indebted to personnel of RCA, support contractor for Management Services Office. These people most closely identified with the project are Miss Teresita Sellers, Mrs. Kay Parrish, Mrs. Pat Vidler, Mr. Dan Wise, and Mr. Fagan Thompson. Of unusual assistance in preparing the 1968 edition has been Mrs. Ann Henley, editor at RCA. Much credit for the Index, that appears for the first time in this 1968 edition, must go to Mrs. Henley and also to MSFC summer student, Miss Rosemary Zarsous, who spent much of the summer of 1970 working on it.

For the web version of this chronology thanks have to be given to various individuals for their efforts in providing images without which the content would be less illuminating and informative. A very big thanks goes to Scott Lowther for his monumental efforts in scanning all the images in his original 4th edition. For research and reproduction of original negatives a special thanks goes to Kipp Teague (Apollo archive web site) and the staff at the Image library of the Marshall Space Flight Center. Thanks are also due to John Duncan and Phil Broad for providing images via their excellent web sites.
