This story has remained
safely hidden away in a dark corner of my attic for the last fifteen
years.Sufficient time has now elapsed
for it to meet the light of day.Hopefully the decision to release it from its four banker’s boxes will
not result in a new final chapter being written, especially not by anyone other
than the undersigned.
Several people helped me with
the underlying case.First and foremost
was Eli, without whom I would not have gotten very far, and would probably have
been a casualty in someone else’s book, rather than the author of my own.Eli, I owe you my eternal thanks and respect.
Of honorable mention is my
assistant Donna who worked diligently supporting Eli and I for the six trying
years of this endeavor.We couldn’t have
done it without you.
Finally, Jeannie, my staff,
my friends Bill and Kathy, and the rest of the people who took their time to
review my never ending series of rough drafts, thank you for your patience,
your confidence and your support.
