A
Case Study in Urban Development
I
Would Like To Thank...
Professor Eric Pallant: Thank you, Eric for giving me the initial idea of designing an urban park for my senior project. I am deeply appreciative of your support and confidence in me throughout my work this past year. Most importantly, I want you to know that you have been a major influence in my decision to pursue the environmental sciences. You are a wonderful teacher and your enthusiasm, concern, and love for the environment is seen in the classroom. You have not only been an inspiring mentor for me these last four years, but also a caring friend. Thank you!
Professor Jennifer DeHart: Jen, I want to thank you for your confidence in me throughout my college career. I am unable to express my deep gratitude for your friendship. I have always been able to come to you with my problems when life just seemed unbearable. And you have constantly greeted me with understanding and concern. I am not sure if I would have gotten through this difficult time without you. You are a wonderful person with a good heart. Thank you!
Meadville Medical Center: I would like to thank Andrew Masse, John Wallach, and Robert Muth from the Meadville Medical Center for making this project possible. Throughout the last year, I have been humbled and surprised at your confidences in my work. I know how busy you all must be, and yet you have always taken the time to answer my questions and review my writing. I also deeply appreciate your open-mindedness with all my ideas. Andy, you have the heart of a true environmental engineer. Thank you all!
Lin Sutley: Lin, thank you for all your aid in constructing this webpage I am very appreciative of all the time you have spent helping me, especially the hours you spent downsizing those maps! Thank you!
Supporters of this Project: I would like to thank everyone who wrote a letter of support for the grant application submitted for this project. You know who you are and your encouragement is deeply appreciated. Thank you!
My Friends: I would like to thank Lauren, Rachel, Kara, Carly, Laura, and Brendan for listening to me vent about all my stresses with this project. You are all good people and wonderful friends. Lauren, you have been a great source of support for me over the last four years. You have always given me good advice and reassurance when I doubted myself. And you are great at helping me to relieve my stress. Rachel, I can not thank you enough for your confidence in me. We share the same vision of environmental, political, and social justice! When I would become discouraged at all the evils in the world, you were always there to remind me that we are going to change the world for the common good, one community at a time. I love you all, thank you!
My Parents: Last, but certainly not the least, I would like to thank my parents, Crystal J. and Andrew J. Logut, God rest his soul. Mom, you are the strongest and most caring person I know. You have always had great confidence in me and you have taught me to believe in myself. You have given me a high standard of morals that I will carry with me and share with others throughout my entire life. Dad, you were my pillar of strength. Anytime I ever had a problem, you were always there to comfort me and to make the largest dilemma in the world seem like a little bump in the road of life. You have believed in me at times when I had given up on myself. You have taught me to question everything and never accept information at face value. Mom and Dad, there is no way I could ever repay you for everything you have given me. You both have made me into the person I am today. I love you both, thank you!
