Notes

We thank many colleagues for their participation in developing this special issue of TRSE. Primarily, we thank Patricia Avery—a remarkable, efficient, effective, and responsive two-term editor of TRSE. Her early support, continuing encouragement, usually gentle prodding and admonitions, and dexterous handling of organizational and editorial detail were key to our efforts. We also thank the members of the TRSE Editorial Board for recognizing the value in producing an issue to commemorate the journal's improvements over 40 years and Cleo Cherryholmes's major contributions. Cleo was pleased when informed about this issue, and despite his health, he submitted a manuscript for it. His untimely death kept him from seeing the finished product. Clearly, we thank the many colleagues who submitted draft manuscripts for review, and the extra revision work of authors of the small number we had to select for publication. Thanks also to the keen-eyed reviewers, at least three for each manuscript, who provided incisive and thoughtful editorial comments for authors and for us. Finally, we thank Charlotte Anderson for her careful review of Cleo's draft manuscript, and her helpful suggestions. Charlotte, in addition to being a colleague of Cleo's, is a retired civic educator and scholar, former President of NCSS, and recipient of the NCSS Distinguished Global Scholar Award.
