Author’s Acknowledgments
(From lead author, Adan)
I would like to thank Mark Mattarocci. Real friends are hard to find, great friends even harder. Thank you for telling me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. Lindsey Antle, thanks for the knowledge of ASL you brought to this book; you gave me great confidence. A special thanks to Ron Hammer — your example in excellence is always before me, whether I like it or not. A deep thank you goes to my four sisters whose constant encouragement kept me going. Linda Barr, without your talent and genius this book would not have been published — thank you. Dr. Weaver and Dr. Cabbage, your support has helped a great deal. Thank you very much. Thanks to Sue Ann VonFeldt for her help during the research of this book.
Lastly, thank you Wiley Publishing, Inc. and crew for the opportunity to write for your company. I have learned much from you.
