This book is dedicated
to my mother, Myrle,
who went on the road
long before I did.

I could never have put
all these memories together
without the loving aid
of my daughter, Lana.

I wish to thank
Cheryl McCall, Fred Burger,
Townsend Miller, Bobby Arnold,
Jody Fischer, and Jo Ellen Gent
for their help in preparing
this book.
