ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I want to thank the many souls who gave of themselves and their time to help me think through family history, pentecostalism, academia, and my experiences as a member of each of these discourse communities. I want to thank the members of my dissertation committee, Patricia Sullivan, Cindy Gannett, Jack Lannamann, Tom Newkirk, and Sarah Sherman for their expressed interest in this project, for their willingness to work with me, and for their encouragement of me and belief in the significance of the issues and human beings discussed in these pages, and for their patience with my non-linear composing process. Were it not for Patricia Sullivan I would still be in hiding and this project never begun. Were it not for her and the other members of my committee, all of whom have helped | me more than they know, I would have abandoned my writing any number of I times along the way. I’ve never received anything but understanding and I encouragement and a sense of purpose from each of them. I feel fortunate to have f these particular human beings work with me. They've been more than teachers ; and mentors to me; they’ve been dear friends. To each one of you, thank you. God bless you. t i I want to thank the many members of my family who have helped me to piece together again the many precious stories my grandfather told for the last time a quarter of a century ago and the significances preserved in those stories. My v Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. education in Composition Studies prepared me for multiple (even conflicting) versions of Grandpa's stories and to be quite comfortable with that multiplicity, but I could not have anticipated the many things I've learned about my grandfather, the other members of my family, the wondrous multiplicity of what, for lack of a better term, I'll call "the truth," and myself in the context of these persons and these stories. For their time, their generosity, their insights, and their love, I want to thank, in particular, Delbert Barrett, Joseph Barrett, Marie Smith Barrett, Norma Carter Barrett, Oscar Barrett, Paul Barrett, Faye Rena Burnette, Alene Cook, Sherman Cook, Hazel Powell Downard, Geraldine Barrett Houston, Marie Cook Jones, Acy Lamb, Delora Barrett Lykins, Wiley Lykins, Lillian Sams McHone, Tom McHone, Ola Barrett Mehring, Jerome Parker, Herb Powell, Mark Powell, Viola Powell, Cinda Barrett Rogers, and Fannie Barrett Smith. I want to thank Kathleen Teaze, director, and Mamie Tracey, Jennifer Sanborn, Tricia Quinn, Wendy Palmer, Stefania Metalious, Irene Maskwa, Sharon MacDonald, Marjorie Little, Pam Jautaikis, and Susan Brough, the staff at Rye (New Hampshire) Public Library for becoming my friends and colleagues for two years, for greatly enhancing my knowledge of library research methods, and for helping me to lay hands on the sometimes obscure objects of those searches- books, articles, artifacts—often from points all across the United States.
