Dedicated in loving memory to RJ Corradino (1979-2000), gifted poet and one of the best

friends anybody could ever have. I miss your kind spirit and unselfish nature. Thank you for

all of those moments you enriched my life.

This book is affectionately dedicated to my wife, Rose, for believing in me, oh, those many

years ago when I decided I wanted to be a writer. Thanks, hon, for the encouragement,

nudging, and loyalty. I wouldn’t have made it otherwise.
