I’d like to thank the loyal group of readers and editors who assisted with this work. Peggy Miller provided proofreading and editorial assistance, Jim Bosley and Waldo Gibson uncovered inconsistencies invisible to the author, Louise Bosley had insights into the characters I hadn’t seen, Rich Hartzell’s tactical knowledge was invaluable, and my wife, Kathy, always supported and encouraged the endeavor from beginning to end… and of course Max, who sat by the computer watching each and every keystroke.
