ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

BILL SMITH Thanks to Nick and Lucy who let this book happen. Also to all of Sarah’s family and friends particularly Romy Charlesworth for her patience and humor and Nancy Charlesworth who treated me like family. I owe a life debt to Judith Olch Richards for the Smithsonian interview series with Sarah conducted on Great Jones Street from 2–9th November 2011.17 It is impossible to imagine this biography without the authority of Sarah’s voice as provided in those interviews. Not surprisingly, Judith confided that Sarah was the single most prepared subject of any interview she ever conducted. Special mention is noted for the kindness of Judy Hudson, Gina Nannni, Laurie Simmons, Anne Timpson, and to Matthew C. Lange. Thanks to Laura Barnett, Daniel Chess, Mike Dyer, Eric Goeres, Tom Houston, Marius Muresanu, Emily Peterson, Jim Rasenberger, Scott Rosenberg, Mark Silver, Leyla Vural, and to my wife and family. This book would not have been possible without the support of my teachers at the Department of Oral History at Columbia University; Mary Marshall Clark, Amy Starecheski, and Jerald Albarelli. My intention is that Sarah Charlesworth would have been delighted by the photographs and histories presented here. The book is another testament to her remarkable life.
