ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO THANK my wife Roseann, my son Zachary, and my daughter Marissa for putting up with me while I was writing this book; and my son Ethan for keeping me young (remember what you are to do if this idea ever comes up again).

I would also like to thank my mother Mary Louise and daughter Hannah Angel, for giving me the gift of themselves and their spirit, which I carry with me every day of my life. I miss you.

To my father, who is there when I need him, and also has a really great name... thank you Gene!

To Helen and Jerry, you will never know how much you mean to me.

To Dan, I am glad we were able to share time together again after so many years.

This book is more than just words and code. It is time and people. The finished product you hold in your hand is a snapshot of events that somehow managed to come together with the very hard work of a lot of people; Carol, Ami, and Luann, I want to specifically thank you three for everything that you did.

Finally I would like to once again thank Jean-Marc Krikorian for really doing nothing as he did the last time back in '95.

I cannot forget you, the reader, for taking time out of your day to spend it with me. This book was written for you, and I hope I have helped you in some way. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know, thank you again!
