To John Pass and Theresa Kishkan, for the encouragement and advice over the years.

  To John and Nancy, for all your faith and support.

  And finally to Amy. For all the invaluable, essential reading and editing from the first draft to the last. For the life we share which makes this writing possible. For the ballast and the buoyancy, the strong and steady mooring.
