I greatly appreciate the support and assistance I received from Chuck Rieger and other members of the George C. Marshall High School Class of 1966 who took the time to read the galley and offer comments and encouragement.
I would also like to acknowledge my friend, Bill O’Rourke, who always listened to my ideas and helped me filter the good from the bad. I miss him greatly.
It is almost a cliché for writers to thank their spouses. Cliché or not, Sonya has read drafts that should never have been printed. She has also endured the moods of her author-husband with a patience and an unwavering objectivity that have made me a better writer. As she often notes, “we’re a team.” Yes, that and more.
