My dear friend and Samurai Word Warrior, Gary Terashita, Associate Publisher of Fidelis Books is just such a leader. His tireless work and the team he has assembled to accomplish the mission of getting this book into your hands or on a tablet for you to read is spectacular:

Gary’s lovely wife Kim, proofreader extraordinaire, has caught my every “glitch.”

Steve Chisholm at Xcel Graphic Services created the stunning interior design.

Amanda Varian has somehow done all the copyediting with incredible speed and accuracy.

Calvin Coolidge at Arclight, LLC, has solved every info-tech challenge.

Josh Smallbone at Smallbone Management has found a way to manage all my travel.

Duane Ward’s logistics team at Premiere Centre, as they have so many times for nearly thirty years, is ensuring my books get where they need to be.

My Real American Heroes Productions team has arranged to keep our production schedule on track despite me: Dave Valinski, Dennis Azato, and Mike Aitken.

Most importantly—thank you Betsy, mother of our four children, grandmother of our eighteen grandchildren. For more than half a century you have been my mate, my muse, my most fervent advocate, my greatest inspiration, and my best friend. You are still the most fun I’ve ever had!
