This book is dedicated to my grandson, Malachi,
who likes to read, and to write, just as I do.
My gratitude to my husband, Bill,
without whose computer expertise this book would never have happened!
Also, I so much appreciate his encouragement.
And, also, thanks to my sister and my friends,
who enjoyed this story from the beginning.
A special thanks to Vangie,
because she believed my efforts were worth publishing.
