Dedication


I dedicate my story to the memory of my parents
Anne and Jacob
For loving each other and their eight children

To the memory of my three departed wives
Ida I loved and lost
Eleanor for marrying me and bearing
Five beautiful and loving children
Bernice for sticking with me
through thick and thin
And helping to raise my family

To grandmothers Rachel and Teresa
They enriched my childhood

To cousin Ed; more than cousin: best friend
To Irv and Herman
my youthful constant companions

To uncounted friends: honourable mention
To each I am grateful

To my children...
You are the best of
me
