I would like to dedicate this book to my Mother for encouraging me to write it all down, as well as, supporting me in all my endeavors. And, to my best friend Tom, who was a big part of this story.

 

Also, to my friends Gary and Doug, as well as to all those who have ventured down roads less travelled.

 

 

Tommy

3/3/1950 – 8/12/2001

 

Gary                Doug

3/9/1951 – 3/4/2002   10/19/1955 – 11/21/2000

 

 

And, I’d like to thank Kimball Love, my girlfriend for the past 20 some years, for typing, editing and encouraging me to finish writing this story.
