Dedication

T o my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Surely Your goodness, mercy and unfailing love have followed me all the days of my life. ~ Psalm 23

T o my step-father, Balbino Rodriguez, a true American patriot who served our country in the US Navy for 27 years; served during World War II; and survived the bombing attack on Pearl Harbor. He was a Navy chef for President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the presidential yacht, the USS Potomac, while our country's 32nd president led our nation through World War II and out of the Great Depression. He was also a Navy chef for President Harry S. Truman on the presidential yacht, the USS Williamsburg, while the White House was undergoing extensive restoration; and while President Truman brought our nation out of World War II with a decisive victory, and through our nation's turbulent times of the Cold War and the Korean War. My step-dad remained a faithful and loving husband to my mother, Dolores, for 37 years until his death at 106 years of age. But above all of this, he was the best father a son could ever dream of having.
