Anna L. Britton

First and foremost, I want to thank my parents who have given me so much more than I could ever fully account for. They have always made sure I feel loved and supported and have consistently provided help in every way they could to make it possible for me to complete this program. Thank you to my extended family, especially to my grandfather whose hard work and vision provided the financial means for his many grandchildren to complete their education. A special thank you to my husband for his support and willingness to do anything I might need to help me reach my goals. Thank you to all of my family and friends whose love and support sustain me. And to my daughter, Rebecca, my love and my life, who holds nightly "meetings" on her computer and constantly has so much work to do, just like Mommy: I love you, my baby. Thank you for all of your love and help and for giving me a reason to make this world a better place.
