Gable (B.S., M.A., M.L.S.) is a professional librarian and independent scholar. Prior to embarking on the MAI project, he busied himself as an American literature scholar specializing in the Harlem Renaissance. During that period he edited a biannual online newsletter and research resource (2000-05), edited a short story anthology (Indiana UP, 2004), and published articles and bibliographies. Currently Gable confines his research energies to editing this website.

Huthmacher (B.A., M.L.S), a native Buffalonian, is a former educator who currently works as a librarian for a major law firm. Her lifelong interest in the Pan American Exposition began at age five when her parents took her to the Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society, where she was entranced by a large wall mural depicting three women strolling by the exposition’s Electric Tower. Her enthusiasm for the Pan American Exposition is only exceeded by her passion for Theodore Roosevelt and unbridled devotion to her cat, Anastasia.
