Dedication
Little did we know on a cold, clear, January night in 1990, just how much
our life would change. It was a group of people meeting after work for
food, drinks and fun. It was also a chance meeting between a man
and woman that became friendship,
love, and then marriage.
Some may call it luck, others destiny, I say it was the best day of my life.
Ever since that day my life has been blessed, and I live happy and loved.
This book is dedicated to my wife Ruth, who is one of the warmest,
most loving, and most caring persons I know.
I love you Ruth!
