Acknowledgments

I want to send special thanks to Betsy Brown and Damon Jordan for putting up with me on this project. They were the driving force behind the work. They kept me on schedule, and what a schedule it was! Fortunately, with Sams Publishing, the people behind the books keep things flowing smoothly even when the authors don't.

This book is a compendium of information from so many sources. I had the able help of numerous other authors who helped with the fundamental material within this book. My fiercely sincere gratitude goes to the following masters of writing: Rogers Cadenhead, Alexandria Haddad, Trudi Reisner, Heidi Steele, and Herb Tyson.

In addition, the other staff and editors on this project, namely Damon Jordan, George Nedeff, and Charlotte Clapp, made this book better than it otherwise could be.
