Special Thanks to...

Nancy Davis, my beyond-the-call editor, wise counsel, and friend.

David Van Ness for his deft layouts and calm amid my bookmaking storms.

Nancy Aldrich-Ruenzel, Peachpit’s publisher, for making this work-from-home life possible.

And, as always, Mary.

Finally, my thanks to the friends who so kindly let me use their great photos: Ray Montoya (page 3), and Amy and Kelly Oliver (pages 6566). My heart-felt appreciation also goes to everyone who appears in these photos: the entire Engel clan, Bruce Hammel, Nancy Harbert, Kerry Harder, plus Joshua, Jacob, and Soli. Thanks as well to the beauty of the Colorado Plateau, eastern France, New England, and to New Orleans—may she rise again.
