To the memory of my grandparents: Ernest and Anna Hein Watkins and Emile and Maude Kielty Blomain, whose evocative tales and lovingly preserved sense of history were responsible for this book...
... and to my friend, Ernst Koch.
A very special note of gratitude to Craig Czury who was there the entire time with good ideas, frequent help, much deserved prodding, and constant encouragement...
... and to the Djerassi Foundation, the Ragdale Foundation, and Blue Mountain Center where I was given the time and space first to dream this project, then to complete it.
