Acknowledgments

For much of the time that this memoir was being written, I have been quite ill. This has placed an enormous burden on my wife, Claire, who herself has been ill during much of this time. Had it not been for her devoted help, so generously given, this memoir could never have been written. This help has been realized by a practical, ingenious, and well-trained mind. Whenever there is a crisis, she has not only known what to do, she has done it with cheerful understanding and expertise.

In addition, I am especially grateful to:
