Acknowledgments

It has been a privilege to have been associated with the journal over the years. The professionalism and dedication of the ASCE Publication Office staff represent the key to the journal’s success. I gratefully remember working with many staff members, and I want to make a special mention of Nina Kramer. I remain indebted to many of my fellow ASCE volunteers for their collegial indulgence and support in early years, particularly Marty Lipinski, Mike Demetsky, Raymond Moore, Paul Schonfeld, and Timothy McGrath. For this article, I want to thank Chris Hendrickson, Jon Fricker, Larry Rilett, Nabina Sinha, and Xi Van Fleet for their comments and suggestions. Also, I acknowledge the assistance of Bismark Agbelie, for responding to my frequent requests to locate old papers, and Abdullah Nafakh, for his technical support. I am however solely responsible for the article’s content.
