Some books, I hear, ‘write themselves.’ This isn’t one of them. It happened over the course of years and with the help of a number of friends and advisors. At the risk of forgetting some of them, I want to thank the following folks for all the help, advice and work they put into helping this book become a reality: Carol Broadbent, Elaine Cummings, Jim and Tracie Decker, Doug and Linda Gruehl, Amanda Iles, Jenny Overstreet, Tim Sawyer, and Ron Terry.
