To Meg, my one and only, Zachary, Madeline, and Audrey—epiphanies to me. Every breath is a blessing. May the Peace of Christ that passes all understanding keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God.—Edward S. Pound

To my wife, Julia; my parents; and the team at Arc Precision.—Jeffrey H. Bell

To my wife, Blair, who for thirty years now has picked me up when I was low, has kept me humble when I was haughty, and has loved me always. And to my children, who have blessed me and taught me more than I have taught them: Jacob, William, and Rebekah; and to my grandchildren, a wonderful blessing, Alana, and Jake. And to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.—Mark L. Spearman
