Facing the Hunter (22 page)

I would like to thank Peter McGrath and David Savage, two men of the N.B. woods, and thanks also to my son John Thomas Richards who hunted with me last, and Anne McDermid my agent. Thanks to my brothers John and Bill, wife Peg and son Anton. I would thank also Les Druet, Bob Drisdelle and Jason and Wayne Curtis, and all the great men over the years, and great women too, who knew the value of what they said and did.

Special thanks to my editors Tim Rostron and Catherine Marjoribanks.
