      DEDICATION

      (A repeat from previous books but always relevant)

      Always to the memory of my late husband Albert Zakin

      To my children Nancy and Jeff, and Barbi and Ken

      All my grandchildren: Lizzie and Jon, Carly and Peter, Andy and Dana, David and Susan, Kenny and Alyson and Debbie and Michael

      Finally my great grandchildren: 13 in number and they are not to be slighted, but are too numerous to name individually

      (I do know their names however!)

      ACKNOWLEDGMENT

      To Elise Alarimo, indispensable and a major help to me throughout the entire production of this book. Too bad there are not several of you and then I would be willing to share your capabilities with others. Right now I want to keep you all to myself. You are absolutely great. Thank you! Thank You!

      To Xlibris for doing their job with such dedication once again

      ANOTHER BOOK?

      Forgive me as I am a penitent. I told all of you who are the readers of my other 12 books (maybe the three of you) that I would not be writing another book ever again but there are three reasons why I changed my mind.

      1. I found some things that I wrote in Florida.

      2. I also found some things from the North Shore Towers writing class as well.

      3. I am particularly fond of Elise who has done the typing of all my other books in addition to conducting all the business parts of those publications. Therefore I would truly miss having her in my life, and since she would probably dump me if I didn’t continue writing, I am once again doing so!

      P.S. Also the most unusual reason that this will really be my last book (if I make it) is because I will be 100 years old on February 10th, 2018.

      Wow! I really can’t believe it myself and I’m sure you can all understand why this is really my last book.

      So those of you who will now be reading this final bit of writing, I do hope you enjoy it and (perhaps) you’ll think of me in your future. (Mine is iffy!)
