DEDICATION
by Ron Juliette
I lovingly dedicate this book to my mother, Anne
Dorazio Juliette, who taught me to love books; to my
father, Joseph, who taught me to set my sights high; and
to my wife, Joan, and my children, Tony and Kate, without
whose support and encouragement this book would not
have been possible.
DEDICATION
by Dale E. Landon
This book is dedicated, with love, to those who made
this effort possible: my wife, Evelyn, and my sons, Kent W.
and Dain C, who have given me their time and love which
enabled me to follow an obsession; and my mother,
LaReda J. Miller Landon, and my father, Louis, whose
efforts allowed a first-generation college student to follow
his dream.
