Acknowledgements
Many thanks to my wonderful proofreader (and wife) Lena, who despite being a born-and-raised Swede, speaks English better than most Americans. Plus, she puts up with me.
Steve Lord, a good childhood friend whom you met at several places in this book, was an insightful and thorough editor. Many thanks to him for fine-tuning my recollections and pointing out problems that needed correcting.
Thanks also to Janine, my sisters (Carol, Linda, and Gail), KCowan, Lara, Marie, Bob, Andy, Rosie, REWahoo, Dudelsak, Sengsational, Coogie, and all the others I roped into providing free editing.
