In Loving Memory of Marion

My best friend, wife, colleague, mother of our five children and grandmother of our nine

grandchildren, for her love, unconditional support, and understanding. Wonderful

memories keep you ever near our hearts.

—KLM and family

To Pam and Ron

I am grateful to my eldest daughter Pam, who assumed the office duties her mother previously

carried out. She is also helpful in many other ways. 1 am also grateful to my son-in-law

Ron Crowe, whose technical skills have helped me prepare the manuscript for this book.

—KLM

For Gisela

My lovely wife and best friend, for her endless support and patience;

our three children—Indrani, Sunita, and Rainer (Ren)—and grandchildren

(Brian, Amy, and Lucas)

—TVNP

For Barbara, Erik, and Muriel

You have never doubted my dreams and ideas, no matter how crazy they might be.

Nothing could ever mean more to me than each of you. This book is also dedicated to my

mentors, Drs. Rudy Danzinger, Gordon Grahame, and Jim Thliveris; thank you for

sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

—MGT
