ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Throughout the process of compiling and writing this book I was constantly reminded of the Hoosier warmth, and friendliness.
A very special thanks to my friends, Eric Mundell, Madonna Snyder, Bob and Carolyn Schmidt, Bill and Berky Davis and Tom Castaldi.
There are two other very special individuals who derserve recognition. Joy, my Belgian shepherd, who more than anyone else was my slave driver unfailingly awakening me at 2:00 AM each morning. And my dear friend, Nelson Price, who was always there with caring friendship, support and enthusiasm. If Joy got me up, Nelson kept me going. Much love to both of you.
