A message From Author About Co-worker
I am also greatly indebted to Shelley Hartle, our editorial assistant, without whom it
would have been impossible to keep to production schedule. Though still new to the
team, she adapted quickly and handled everything with aplomb, from proofing galleys
and compiling indexes to tending the ducks when we had to be away.
Many thanks to Janet Johnston, our production editor, who kept everything running
smoothly on her end and was wonderfully supportive and understanding. Thanks
similarly go to Sylvia Moore, managing editor. Special thanks also go to Tina Carver,
publisher, who has been consistently supportive not only as a fiend but as a top-notch
publishing professional whose sound judgment I highly respect.
My appreciation goes, too, to Ray Adame, Barbara Barysh, Nancy Baxer, Eric
Bredenberg, Karen Chiang, Athena Foley, Norman Harris, Terry Jennings, Gordon
Johnson, Ray Keating, Andy Martin, Don Martinetti, Gil Muller, Ed Perez, Jack Ross,
Jerry Smith, and Ed Stanford. In addition, my gratitude goes to Joy Edwards, Barbara
Matthies, and R.T. Steltz. Chelsea Azar has been splendid. Finally, I am lovingly grateful
to my father for his continuing support and involvement in my endeavors. Many of his
ideas and suggestions are reflected in the text.
