My thanks to the Quaker United Nations Office for the field studies “The Voices of Girl Child Soldiers” by Yvonne E. Keairns, PhD.
Sergeant David Rivers (ret.), Miami-Dade Police Homicide Bureau, included me in a series of excellent homicide investigation seminars where he taught and wrote the curricula.
The Pelican Harbor Seabird Station rehabilitates injured birds and animals to resume life in the wild. It is a remarkable humane institution supported by donations and volunteers. The station welcomes visitors.
Most of all, my thanks to this place—Miami—savory and beautiful, an intensely American city built and maintained by people who came from somewhere else, often on foot.
