Dedications

This book is for my wife, Lee, and my daughter, Brenna, without whose constant love, support, and giggling slapfights I could not have even begun this project. I hope I’ve taught you to breathe.

To my dad, Donald Brian Campbell, Sr., who breathed his last in November 2005. He taught me to never worry, especially about things over which I have no control. In his own small way, that message informs every breath I take.

To my mother, Joyce May Burr, who always told me to make good history. It was she who taught me how to squeeze the most out of this life.

And to Teri Joyce Burr, Dana Katherine Bennett, Lyn Elaine Campbell-Turner and Shelton Matthew Bennett—for teaching me what family means.

—Don Campbell

This book is dedicated to Alexis Valerie Halmy, who reminds me every day how good it is to breathe. Your unwavering love, encouragement, belief, and patience mean more to me than words can ever say.

To my parents, Robert and Donna Lee, who taught me the most important lesson of my life—love—and who instilled in me the belief that nothing was beyond my reach.

To sister Cindy, and brother Chris. Every child should be so lucky.

—Al Lee
