Dedication

        To my Mom, Cheryl, whose guidance, love, and understanding

                             has simply made me a better man

        To Chad and Stephanie, for continually making me proud

                                    to be their brother.

        Finally, to Mammaw, whose unconditional support

        has given me strength when I thought I had none left.
