Dedication

This book is dedicated to my beloved wife, Sandy, and to my dear little sister, Dr. Angela Lobreto. You make life a joy.

Also, to my professional mentors George Milligan, Dr. Craig Price, and Tell Gates, three of the finest men I have ever known, or ever hope to know: May God bless you richly, gentlemen; He has blessed me richly through you.
