This year we have really had our ups and downs , but even through the toughest times I could still count on those very few to come through . And , it was with their help that made this book what it is . Only those who wanted to be a member of the staff and were dedicated enough to stick with it really know the effort it takes to produce a book and can, therefore, thoroughly enjoy it. And to those I say THANKS ! Lauri Talmadge Johnson
