To my daughter Kathy, without whose encouragement
this story would never have come into being, and
to my lovely granddaughters, Melanie and Victoria,
for their hard work and help. To my husband,
John, for his patience, and to the rest of my
children, Jay, John, Jr., and Geneva, I lovingly
dedicate this book.
