PUBLICATION SPONSORS Portuguese Heritage Publications of California, Inc., sought the support and sponsorship of public institutions, organizations, businesses, and individuals, with the sole intent of making this publication available to the largest number of people possible at the most reasonable price. Many people understood the importance of sharing the valuable information contained in this book. Thanks to their commitment and generosity, all of us will benefit from their gesture of goodwill and community pride. We acknowledge with our deepest gratitude their cooperation in ensuring the preservation of the history of the Portuguese Americans. If it is true that, within the voluntary context of PHPC, this publication would not have been possible without the total dedication of the writers, the contributors, and the board members, it is equally true that this important work of research would not have had such a wide distribution without the important and vital financial support we received. PHPC appreciates the efforts of the Capelinhos 50/California Committee and of all those who elected to become sponsors of this project. The Portuguese community of California, as in the past, stepped up to the plate and made this project possible. Ultimately, they made it happen. However, there are two institutions that went-as they often do-beyond the call of duty. They understood the significance of our work and the importance of their incentive. We are especially thankful to the Presidency of the Regional Government of the Azores and to the Directora Regional das Comunidades, Alzira Maria Serpa Silva, for their extraordinary support, encouragement, and incentive for this project and its translation into Portuguese. Our gratitude and recognition go also to the António Furtado family who, one more time, chose to sponsor yet another important community project. It is the unselfish and generous attitude of António and Gina Furtado that has encouraged many community organizations to move forward and inspired us to volunteer the many hours of labor devoted to the preservation of our history and culture. Our most sincere thanks to the Portuguese community of California, Alzira Silva, and António and Gina Furtado, and to so many others for their interest in our project and their recognition of our commitment to help preserve the history of Portuguese Americans.
