"Enormous thanks to the staff of the Vanderbilt Television News Archive. Jim Duran was incredibly helpful and hospitable on both of my visits. He corresponded with me ahead of time and quickly made me feel comfortable so I could get right to work. He also went above and beyond, working after hours to fix a few broken video links. Nathan Jones, Dana Currier, and Steve Davis could not be more friendly or more helpful. Steve also went out of his way to track down a couple video clips for me. Nathan had a great cat shirt on the Friday of my first visit, which, I was told, was cat shirt day. My second visit corresponded with a major construction project in the building where the archives are located, and the staff arranged several back up plans in case the noise was too much, though in the end the headphones and the distraction of the work proved enough of a preventative for that issue."
