We are extremely grateful in these tough economic times for the continued support of the following
friends of the North American Review. These three have supported our endeavors for a long time.
We recently realized, to our great chagrin, that the last couple of years, we have forgotten to call your
attention to their generosity. So, for their help this year and before, we offer our most sincere thanks.
