THE COMPLETION OF THIS BOOK WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE without the assistance of so many people whose names cannot all be enumerated. Their contributions are sincerely appreciated.
All of my relatives were encouraging and supportive. There are so many others to thank. Many are dead.
In particular, I would like to extend thanks to Bernie Widrow, Don Burrer, Alan Pacella, Chuck Crawford, Harold Edgerton, Lee Meadows, Tom Comick, Professor Karl Berggren, and to Howard and Nancy Whitman.
I must thank Alan Dewey, and all the people who agreed to be interviewed
I would also like to thank Iain Dey, who raised his hand at the Palm Beach Grill one night.
For all the family members, friends and others who in one way or other shared their stories about my father, thank you.
