True Treasure: Real - Life History Mystery (34 page)

First, t
hank you to God for giving me story ideas I enjoy writing.

This book is dedicated to my husband’s side of the family. Grandma May Johnson, traced her lineage back to the infamous pirate Bloody Graham. She had a wonderful sense of humor, and now our daughter bears part of her name. My wonderful mother-in-law Elaine who has treated me as a daughter. You couldn’t have better in-laws (or in Bloody Graham’s case—outlaws.) My father-in-law Glenn, has always been another bright star and a brilliant man. A true rocket scientist. For some “light” reading check out his book:
Star Trackers and Systems Design by Glen Quasius and Floyd McCanless.
It doesn’t have many words as half of it is mathematical equations and graphs that help keep heads and the universe spinning.

Thank you
to Todd, my wonderful hubby, who spent countless hours editing and working with me to improve this book. In the places it fails, I’m sure it’s because I didn’t take his advice. Thank you to my ten-at-the-time Cammy, for your patience. It can be really hard having a mom who says, “Just wait a minute while I finish typing my thought.”

Thanks readers for reading this far. Know that all my work is always dedicated to you.
