For this book I’m indebted to my editor Dan Smetanka and my agent Ryan Harbage. For the love of my sons, Andy, Logan, and Nate, I am blessed and grateful. For their friendship and support, I thank Dave Dohoda, Chet Hower, Tim M., Orlando Ramirez, and Vicky Stebbings, as I do Lesley and Greg Firmin who continue to celebrate the lives of my brother and sister. And, as always, I thank my wonderful wife, Paula Priamos-Brown, for helping me to write this book.
