A special thanks to my wife, Kaye, and my son, Doug, for their many hours spent at the computer to get this story to its final print stage.

There are many people to thank at Xlibris Publishing for their patience and help to this author who had zero knowledge of getting this story published! Especially, I wish to thank Jess Palamos, Jeanine Kramer and Pepper Andrews.
