Theresa, Vince, John. (my sister) Lynn, Katrina. and Doug financed the writing stage of my thesis. pxiaJ thanks are extended to my former employers. ewfoundland and Labrador Council of<strong>Archives</strong> and the Association of e\\foundland and Labrador Archivists. for allowing me to take my annual leave so early into the contract to write the thesis to meet the first deadline. Many family members and friends supported me emotionally. physically, and financially in sickness and hard times. through my fu II·time single parent graduate student days. my subsequent days as a part-time graduate· a lifetime ofunderpaid contract work. overpriced slum housing. broken leg. and all - and life after grad school. My gratitude to them. my husband Doug and to my children, Katrina and Tom. and to my grandson and soul mate Ryan James Douglas Murphy is heartfelt. This thesis is dedicated to the men and women ofNewfoundland and Labrador who lived the fishery and shared their memories with folklore students. and especially to my father who taughlme that ajob is never finished until the work is done and to my mother whose work is finally done.
