Mather Lippincott, Jr. Others who shared either reminiscences, photographs or advice were: Murry Engle, Louise Lindley Wells, Ruth Harvey Mavronikolas, Cyril Harvey, J.

Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell Adams, Joan Adams Mondale, Bettie Smedley, Thelr:na McKnight, Veronica Barbato, and Esther Darlington Rosenberg. Dr. Theodore B. Hetzel, F. W. (Rick) Echelmeyer, Jr., and David Camp provided special photo• graphic assistance. Finally, I wish to express my appreciation for the editorial assistance of Sarah Cope Swan, who brought her love for Media Friends and her skills to the task of getting this volume ready for publication. Jane James was invaluable, always available when facts or contacts had to be obtained, and Janet Baker took time from a demanding business commitment to read proof. Readers should know that the use of maiden and married names, carried to a point not usual in published material, was done to simplify identification. Quotations from Faith and Practice were taken from the book adopted in 1955 and revised in 1961 by the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends. Frederick W.
