Acknowledgements

My children, Michael and Cathy, have come all the way with me, and their children, Rosie and Daniel, have brought me joy of the generations. I have been, still am, blessed by great friends, men and women, including those who encouraged me while writing this book: Albert McPherson, Greg Reinhart, Beverley Dunn, Dianne Ellis, Maureen Sheehan, Noreen Megay, and Jeremy Hammond, the physician-heart specialist who made it possible for me to go on. I was pleased to once again have Lee White’s professional expertise as editor.
