To Gina and Carol, for being patient, supportive, and loving, and for reminding us of what really matters in life.

None of us accomplishes anything strictly on our own merits; we all but extend the work of those who precede us. In a way, we are all running a relay race. It would be disingenuous, if not inconsiderate, if we failed to acknowledge those whose efforts contributed to the book you are about to read. First and foremost, we want to acknowledge Deborah and Emma, who brought us into this world and, through years of loving sacrifice, embarked us upon what has turned out to be the adventures of our lives.
