Dedication: This book is dedicated to...our families for their love, patience and understanding, to those who have gone before us, today's generations and those who will follow after us. The Past, Present and the Future. We also dedicate this book to all the people whose stories are yet to be told... Hopefully this may inspire them to write.
We also want to thank Jan Teagle Kapetas who looked deep inside our hearts and minds giving us the inspiration to make our dreams come true; who shared with us the long, humorous, frustrating hours, making a big difference, setting our words free, flowing onto many pages about our lives and history.
