I would like to thank the inhabitants of Dayton who, though they often disagreed with me, were usually kind and welcoming. In particular, thanks to Gloria, Kurt, Laurie, Matt, Sheriff Sneed, and Rocky. Thank you to Diogo, my stepson, for use of his poem, ‘The Bridge,’ and his loyalty. I would also like to thank Tom Hedley, for encouraging me to write this book, and Frances Coady, for publishing it in America. Thanks are also due to my father, who told me things he didn’t have to, corrected things I couldn’t know, and endured the sometimes surprising consequences of their exposure. To K. Brunt and James Cornford many thanks for, respectively, information on my mother when she was a student and background on the Cornford/Darwin side of the family. Most of all, I would like to thank my wife, Denise, my daughter, Anna Bella, my sister, Sarah, and my brothers, Francis and Ludovic, for supporting me in this effort to tell an often painful story.
