I dedicate this book to my entire family—my wife, my children and their partners, and my grandchildren. They are very important in my life and I love loving them. I hope that over the years I keep developing the skills of doing so. It is a gold star activity. —Robert E. Lefton, Ph.D. I dedicate this book to my wonderful teachers. I have kept a mental list of the special teachers who have helped me in so many ways. These include my parents, brother, wife, and children; other relatives; friends and acquaintances; teachers in school; and business associates. I particularly want to thank a teacher, the late Fred Werremeyer, who taught me to teach, and a business associate, Dave Farrell, who taught me to stretch. —Jerome T.
