For Kay von Bergen Shapiro—a woman of exceptional intelligence and courage who loves to laugh at the craziness of life while reaching out to others with kindness and compassion. My constant support and true partner, she doesn’t just “make a life for me” in my mother’s words, she makes it wonderful.

—Howard Shapiro

For my children, Sean and Rory Becker, and my wife, Jennifer.
Without all of you, my life would be empty.

—Franklin Becker
