I am sure I could make a list a mile long of all the people who had to listen to me go on about this Multigenre Research Project, but I won’t. I will just stick to the few who helped me to stay focused on the tasks at hand and who stimulated the flow of my creative juices.
First and foremost, Allison, Geneva, and Mrs. McComas, thanks for reviewing my work and giving me great feedback. Thanks for listening to my zany ideas and for encouraging me to do my best.

Next, Abbye and Julie, thanks for inviting me to the computer lab with you to do CD315 work and for reminding me about our MOO meetings and helping me get to them. Also, thanks for all the great laughs we have had I am so glad we went through all of this together; I think we have bonded! Can’t wait to graduate with you gals!!

I can’t forget my mom, Linda, and my husband, Matt, who were forced to view my MRP on a weekly basis, whether they wanted to or not! Mom, thanks for always being there when I was having a “moment” and for bringing me that Oreo Blizzard from Dee’s…I think I would have just died without it. And Matt, thanks for acting like you cared…I saw you roll your eyes more than once! Hee Hee!

Finally, and most importantly, thanks to all the members of my mailing list “Cleft Talk”. You are a great bunch of people and you have taught me more than I ever expected to learn. Thanks for being my inspiration and for being such great parents who are teaching their children to be loving, thoughtful, and understanding of this world we live in. Also, I can’t thank you enough for allowing me to use pictures and for graciously accepting me into your group. I will try to repay your kindness by being the caring SLP you want me to be.

Thanks again to everyone! I will not forget the things you have done for me.
