Acknowledgements
I am grateful for the two very different kinds of
inspiration provided by my father, Hans Baenninger,
and my "father-figure", Keck Moyer. On a more
practical level, the book would never have reached
production without the computer and word
processing skills of Monica Greco, Jane Burrell, and
MaryAnn Baenninger, to all of whom I am sincerely
grateful.
