This book is dedicated with great affection to my CAGS colleagues: Jack Barry, Gail Carr, Alan Davis, Maria Dreyer, Daniel Ferrera, Kathleen Norris, and Marianne True. During the writing of this book, I was uplifted and supported by their humor and intelligence and by their remarkable individual gifts. I cannot believe my good fortune in knowing each of you. Stephen E. Lambert
This book is joyously dedicated to my husband, Terry, for loving me through thick and thin, no matter what I was trying to balance in my life. To my wonderful children, Greg, Curtis, and Erin, and their families; to my father, David, and my mother, Olive; to my seven sisters; to my friends Lee and Nancy. All of them were with me in spirit, listening to my joys and concerns. All of you supported me as I balanced my commitments on an overbooked calendar of my life's events, which included taking time out to coauthor my first book with Stephen. Ruth J. DeCotis
