For Hudson Cladis Losee:

Because of you, I have been changed for the better;

I will love you always and forever

J.E.L.

With love and gratitude for the extraordinary smiles that have changed my life:

The smiles of my patients, for being my purpose;

The smiles of my children, for being my pride and joy;

And the smile of my Princess, for being my light

R.E.K.

These volumes are dedicated to the memory of
Dr. Ross Musgrave and Dr. Peter Randall,
giants upon whose shoulders we shall always proudly stand
