To all of the characters in this story, both living and long-gone, thank you for enriching our lives. Though your names may have been changed to protect your privacy, you are not forgotten. Your lives still entertain and inspire us.

Also, To my beautiful wife Dot for keeping the love fires burning and keeping us connected to family and friends while I hunched over a cold keyboard. Our God kissed a sunbeam on the dew when He created you.
