This book is dedicated to my beautiful fiancée, Maria. Thank you for your
love and support and especially for your patience through another
long project that tied up our evenings and weekends.
—John Policelli
Somewhat unusually I wrote my part of this book and, more or less at the same time,
underwent a quadruple cardiac bypass operation. This book is dedicated to
the skilled team of doctors and nurses that got me smoothly through the
procedure and back to work (if not quite fully fit) in record time. I
would also like to acknowledge the helpfulness and considerable
ability of my co-author Orin Thomas, who stepped in
and completed tasks for me in a most professional
fashion when I was unable to do so.
—Ian McLean
I dedicate my contribution to this book to
my wife Yaneth and my son Anthony.
—Paul Mancuso
For Ross and Veronica. You mean the world to me.
All my love,
—David R. Miller
