This book is dedicated to Shawna Ann,
Julianne, Mitchell, and Dylan. The future is
yours to command, make it bow to your will.
Michael Sauers
I would like to dedicate this book to Chad
and Marsha. They have both had to overcome
incredible odds and deal with unnecessary
distractions, but their willpower and dedica
tion to do the right thing has kept their heads
up, not only as respectable people, but as
great parents as well.
