It is made in memory of Alice K. and W. Ray Green, two strangers who took me in and gave me life after the fact, with more integrity than many biological parents; much of my success is owed to them. This book is also for my wife, Heidi, my true companion, and for my dear children. May the lives of all children be safe and rewarding; and may they have the opportunity to know and be who they are.
