This site is dedicated to my wife Laura for always believing in my writing; Sheepshead Bay born Dr. Norman Cavior PhD for a lifetime of help, support, and friendship; Professor H. Leonard Fisher for years of kindness and introducing me to the web before it was world wide; Congressman Anthony D. Weiner 9th District New York for inspiration and in his actions demonstrating public service is a noble endeavor; to the Congressman's staff who display on a daily basis that great customer service is still alive and well; to my Brooklyn friends and family who in are no small part of happy years in the neighborhood; and my mother and father who taught their kids to have pride of where we came from, and that you can go home again.
