The Monuments Men (67 page)

Several dear friends helped maintain my spirit. I extend thanks to George and Fern Wachter, Leslie Tcheyan, June Terry, Mike Madigan, Allen Cullum, and Rod Laver. Keith Jarrett’s music soothed my oftentimes anguished soul.

Finally I want to express a special word of thanks to Kathleen Kennedy-Marshall, whose precise and persistent questioning of me years ago led to my discovery of how to tell this story.
