description Geraty talks about the American Center of Oriental Research (ACOR). Since the late 1960s, ACOR has provided crucial support for American archaeologists working in Jordan. Its library, hostel, office, fellowships, and invaluable network were all lifelines for an increasing number of American projects, many of them outgrowths of the Hisban or Madaba Plains Project (MPP), which he directed from 1973 to 2000. As he looks back over ACOR's history--now surpassing fifty years--and remember those who have contributed to its success, notably also the organization's valuable staff, none has done more than Director Barbara Porter. As she retires from office, he thanks her for her leadership and friendship.
