With love and thanks to Ruth Cavin for her help and guidance; to Toni Plummer for her keen insight; to my Tommy, my love, for everything; to Osse and Tereza, Hilde, Helen, Annie, Marcia, Dorothy, and dear Mom for their encouragement and support; to my friends Barbara, Jeanie, Claudia, Ann, and Teresa; to Patricia for being, imaginative honor, my best friend.
And in memory of sweet Melissa Willy Castro.
