My thanks to my three beautiful childrenâJennifer, Nicky and Anastasiaâfor their special love and also for once in a while tucking
me
in at night! Thanks to Mary St. John and Debbie Schweic-kert for reliving part of the past with me. Thanks to Lou Nelson, Frank Weimann, and David Rosenthal for their enthusiasm and support. And a special thanks to Steve Delsohn for being so extraordinarily sensitive and understanding.
âAissa Wayne
My thanks to Mary St. John, Pilar Wayne, and Debbie Doner for sharing their lives and insights; to Lou Nelson and Cheryl Booth for their energetic and expert contributions; to Frank Weimann for his unstinting belief in the book and in me; to Joni Evans for her support and generous spirit.
A special thanks goes to David Rosenthal, my kind and extraordinary editor.
Thanks to my wife, Mary Kay, the best friend I've ever had and forever the love of my life.

As a child, Aissa felt a constant need to be near her father (1963) | |
