Dedications

To my wife, Debbie, for being the most supportive, understanding, patient, and loving partner a person could ever ask for. And, to God, for giving me the ability, gifts, and privilege to work in such an exciting and fulfilling career.

-Kennedy

To my wife, Emily, the true author in our family, who taught me the joy of communication through the printed page and who now has many romantic evenings due in appreciation for the ones neglected. And to my four boys, Jay, Scott, Alex and Caleb, who endured with exceeding patience the hours dad locked himself in a quiet room instead of playing ball and camping.
