I am also grateful to Becky Redington, the guardian angel who helped
me with last-minute technical support. And speaking of guardian angels, I
would like to thank Rev. Msgr. Francis A. Reinbold, who, though now de-
ceased, was very enthusiastic about my work.

My parents deserve special thanks for their undying patience and sup-
port, as does Wendy Ryden, who is always there for me. And heartfelt thanks
to Stephen E. Foss, who constantly surprises me by making me see things
anew.
