Acknowledgments

Writing this chapter would not have been possible without the endless love and support of my wife, Christy, the editorial enthusiasm of my daughter, Eva, and the inspiration of my skateboarding son, Si. For the experiences on which this story is based, I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Ben Ashworth and Jason Moran, as well as to my indefatigable team at the Kennedy Center: Diana Ezerins, Matt Kattenburg, Margaret Bushko, Bobby Hunter, Margot Pien, AJ Jelonek, Owen Burke, and Baye Harrell. Thanks to Michael Kaiser for his many years of service to the Kennedy Center and support of this work, and to Deborah Rutter for her continuing support and powerful vision for the future of the Kennedy Center. I would also like to thank James Early for encouraging me to write, and Susie Erenrich for inviting me to contribute to this journal.
