Acknowledgments
First and foremost, thank you to those who have helped make this book possible. My son traveled the globe to meet and interview many of you, and I thank you for taking the time to do so. I apologize that many of those conversations were not a part of the final draft, but those discussions provided my son with the much needed information to understand me and the relationships I have fostered both in the United States and abroad. Thanks go to the following: Marin Alsop; Gary Brown; Christopher Cheng; Ku Hyun Chung; Shambu Das; Hideoki Furukawa; Murray Grant; Masumi Hasegawa; Takamitsu Hayashi; Rebecca Heidenberg; Myung Kwan Hyun; Kazuo Iwata; Kenji Kimura; Toko and Tomoko Komuro; Kil Hyun Lee; Seo Hyun Lee; Arthur Levine; Tonsie McAden; Melanie McCafferty; Lori Messner; Toshio Mitsuoka; Frank Mori; Anna Nearburg; Kenji Ono; Sunao Onuma; Iwao Osaki; Andrew Preston; Barry Rebo; Ricky Sasaki; Jack Schroeder; Kathy Scott; Kil Seung Sohn; Hirotaka Takeuchi; Katsuo, Kazuo, Sachio, Shigeo, and Yasuo Taki; Hiroshi and Toshiaki Tashiro; Benson Tung; Leslie Wapnitsky; Dae-Yon Won; Masayuki Yagi; and Cathy Zambetti.
Special thanks go to Naoko Matsudaira, Yoshiki Endo, and Tony Bulnes for helping my son around Tokyo, Japan; to Chisako Kato in Nagoya, Japan; to Mansoo Lee in South Korea; and to Doris To in Hong Kong.
Thank you, Melinda Jones and Lori Messner, for the invaluable support offered to both Adam and me. And I will digress to thank you for helping convince me sometimes ...
