# Acknowledgements

We would like to thank our Plop 96 shepherd, Steve Peterson, for working with us to get the paper into a form suitable for the workshop. We would also like to all of our reviewers in our workshop group for their thoughtful insights on how to improve these patterns. Thanks is also due to Kent Beck. The mini-maps at the beginning of each of our patterns are due to some clever ideas he presented to our workshop group during the conference.

Finally, we would like to thank our employer, BTG Inc, for the support and encouragement they provided throughout the effort to get these patterns presented to the pattern community.
