Dedication . . . i 1 v ,- t t i i Hi 3 1i i i , 4y Hmw America, America, God shed his grace on thee, And crowned thy good with brotherhood, From sea to shining sea . . . To whom? Or what? Tangible? Intangible? These questions raced through our minds for many hours when we tried to select an appropriate recipient for our dedication. We wanted something with sentimental value - yet not mushy; something more spiritual and idealistic than tangible; something which touched each of us - not just some. Our year of 1962-1963 brought many rough times to America. She struggled through a maze of difficult foreign decisions. her position sometimes frightening us deeply. Once again, she came through with head held high. Yes, we chose to dedicate this book to America and Americans as a way of reaffirming our faith in her and them. Surely she is blessed from sea to shining sea.
