NO BOOK is the unassisted creation of
the writer. For The History of the Newport Country Club, much assistance, thought, and effort were provided by individuals who were willing to be interviewed; who offered images of old, family paintings and photographs; who went out on the course at dawn to capture a specific photographic image; who spent hours reading one proof after another, seeking the missing word, the wrong punctuation, or the factual uncertainty; and who helped in every way, large and small, in this two-year co-operative effort. The book was the idea of its president, Barclay Douglas, Jr., and vice-president, Robert G. Manice;
was endorsed by the club’s board of governors; and was supported by the Newport Country Club Preservation Foundation. Their combined willingness to have an atypical club history made this an interesting project for the writer and for the book’s designer, Larry Hasak, who, with each book that he produces, proves that he is one of the country’s finest book designers and surely its easiest to work with. I offer my appreciation to all who are mentioned below. If you contributed to the book, but I failed to include your name, please be assured that you have my thanks. — Frederick Waterman
