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.
