ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Mom, wherever you are, hopefully you can read this. You encouraged me with my first poem-story, My Big Toe.
I Love you.
Anne Lahr—A phenomenal artist living locally in the Finger Lakes. Her interpretation of this work is strictly her own. She is a loving wife, mother, and friend.
Louis Q—His story in itself is an inspiration. He wrote to relieve life’s woes and strife. Good luck. We love you.
My wife Cathy—She stands by me through the best and worst. Encouragement enthralled. Thank you. Your loving husband.
Family Support—They all showed positive encouragement although some questioned my intent. Hey, it’s here. Thanks, Chad, Jessica, Kathy, sisters Barbara and Jennifer, and Greg.
Also accolades to Pat Owen, who in her career was well renowned. She did the prose and editing to make this book what it is today. Thank you, Pat, for what we all obtained.
