AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I want to acknowledge Linda Wemhoff. She gave me

support in 2002 when I first thought to do a booklet. She

proofread, offered suggestions, simplified all of my heady stuff,

and helped keep the layout open and light. Six years later, when

I set about this revision, once again she generously gave

support. I shower her with heartfelt thanks.If you appreciate this booklet, kindly go express it by visiting

her website: www.RecipeForPeace.com.

As always, I close with gratitude.
