Book Quote by Brinkmann, Ron
““This book would never have been completed without the help of a number of different people. Many of these people are listed here, but many, many others who gave me ideas, information, and inspiration are not, primarily due to the fallibility of my memory. To them I apologize, and hope that the fact that their wisdom is being propagated and utilized is at least some small consolation. Thanks, first of all, to Tom Stone, whose enthusiasm for this book convinced me that it was worth doing,””
