Dedication
To my dear wife, Judy, who has been my number-one supporter over the
years, and who helped me on this edition by locating advertising illustra-
tions and other visuals. Since the previous edition, I have been blessed
with two additional grandsons, John Parker and Spencer James—now the
twenty-first-century version of a basketball team is in place (my brothers
know what I refer to). Also, to all of my family members, past and present,
to whom I owe whatever positive character traits I may possess, a heartfelt
word of appreciation and love.
