                     Frontispiece.        This fieldstone faced building was originally built as a country schoolhouse.   Considering the 
                                                  roles such buildings have had in the lives of so many of us, AND having several family members 
                                                  -- 
my grandmothers, my mother, an aunt, two cousins, my wife, my two sons and my daughter -- 
                                                  who 
were or still are active teachers led my choosing this building for this position.
