"One of the great pleasures of writing the history of my life (Pilgrimage and Parable: The Life of Eric B. Shumway) was working closely with Emily Strong. As copy editor and layout and design artist, she was wonderfully competent, creative, and meticulous in carrying forward every task leading to publication. I could always count on her to follow through expeditiously with each stage of the project, including helping to secure an acceptable bid from a printer. Emily is an extraordinary blend of personal charm, sound judgment, hard work, and artistic skill. We wish her the best."
