Acknowledgments
would like to thank my wife, Annelle, for tolerating cardboard cars zipping
around the house. Thanks to our daughters, Tia and Ember, for drawing assis-
Itance and encouragement.
I can’t omit the tireless efforts of my agent, Renee Zuckerbrot, as well as the
assistance of my editor, Jerome Pohlen. Last, I won’t forget the ladies at work who
smiled and patiently nodded affirmation every time I showed off my latest and
most fantastic cardboard creation.
