TRIBUTES

To…Arizola Magnenat, and Author’s Ink creative writing class, Wheatland, Wyoming.  Arizola was not only my instructor; she was a dear friend who lost her battle with cancer.

To…Mr. Thomas A. Boshinski, Assistant General Counsel of the Mead/West6avco Corporation, for his permission to use parts of the defunct Blue Horse Composition Book  for my book cover.

To…Three very well-known authors who were kind enough to answer my emails and wish me well on my novel:  Haywood Smith, Bebe Campbell and Anne Tyler.

To…My good email author friend, Cora J. Morace, whom I have never met personally, but she has passed on good advice, encouragement and friendship.  “Clink” to you, C.J.

To…Behlerite author friends on the Behler Messenger Board, whom I continue to rely on for information, advice and encouragement.

To…My son, Matt Bennett, who is my computer instructor, as well as the Graphic Designer who put my first book cover together and shared in the design of the final one.

To…Lynn Price, Acquisitions Director at Behler, who wiped frustrating and discouraging tears away through her emails.
