Dedications
I dedicate this book to Carol Ann Dawes, for her profound friendship and endless belief in me; to my wife, who has unwaveringly supported me in this endeavor; and most of all, to my friend and mentor, Richard Yevich (may you rest in peace), for without his trust and faith in me, this would never have happened.
Wherever you are, Richard, I hope you are smiling because, yes, it’s finally done.
