The vignettes in this book are composites of actual situations and persons,
although some story lines in the vignettes have been created by the author for il
lustrative purposes. The autobiographical sketches are real, although the names
have been changed. Any resemblance to specific persons, living or dead, or spe
cific events, is entirely coincidental.
Page v
For my children, Heidi and Gordy, that they may know
healthy love; for my late father, Ralph Furtman, in grati
tude for his steadfast support and caring; for my late
mother, Bernice Furtman, in acknowledgment of her
permission to be all that I can be. May the souls of my
parents know a peace they so deserve.

A good book is a supple and yielding thing. It is meant to be argued with, challenged, marked up. It is a battle ground for ideas and should show some evidence of a fight or at least some preliminary skirmishes. It is good for igniting minds. It is not the be-all and end-all of a balanced and productive life, but it can touch off needed thoughts and action.
