DEDICATION
To my wife Jenny who gave me the courage to dream again.  To my boys, Karsen, Baxter, and Kasey for always believing.  To my
daughter Amy, her doubt drove me.  To my reader, Mike, for his encouragement and insight, and his wife Kathy for her patience.  To
Steve and Yvonne for always being in my corner.  To Jane, always the voice of reason.  And to my nephew Ben, his excitement for writing
reminded me why I do this.
