Acknowledgements

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY WIFE ANNE for her encouragement, keeping me on the path when I felt sorry for myself. Foster Winans, who some four years ago, said that my first manuscript shouldn’t go into the fireplace as kindling. Walt Kuenstler for being there in my trying time of need. Debra Leigh Scott for her many insights. And my kids Richard and Michelle who read and re-read numerous drafts.
