Dedication: To my loving and supporting better half, she who must be obeyed, she of infinite patience and good humor, who selflessly tends to important matters while the author hides behind a monitor and plays with his ... keyboard.

Editor: To Jim7, “TeNderLoin” who single-handedly made a huge difference on storysites “StoriesOnline” and “FineStories” by removing cruft, killing glitches and gremlins, and otherwise turning unreadable batches of crap into more-or-less readable stories, downloaded by thousands of readers.

His impact on the pages of this work has been great, and necessary; his humor and patience boundless, and his generous assistance invaluable. To him, I can only whisper “Thank you!”
