    “Honor to Whom Honor…” A Matter of Acknowledgment

    “No man is an island, no man stands alone.” With equal appropriateness John Donne’s words might be paraphrased “No author is an island,” for others helped make this book a reality. Recognizing the contribution of others is an ethical obligation and a pragmatic necessity. And so I wish here to say my thank-yous:AGOL 8.1

    To Barbara H. Phipps, librarian and friend, for research of elusive facts;AGOL 8.2

    To Jackson A. Saxon, M.D., health educator extraordinary, for major research assistance in updating health data for this second, revised edition;AGOL 8.3

    To Dottie Christman, my faithful secretary, for tirelessly (and uncomplainingly) reproducing consecutive drafts of the book manuscript on her word processor;AGOL 8.4

    To James A. Cress, John W. Fowler, Robert W. Olson,AGOL 8.5

    To Robert Spangler, and Kenneth H. Wood, friends and colleagues in the ministry of Jesus Christ, who read the advance text and offered most helpful suggestions for its improvement;AGOL 8.6

    To Richard W. Coffen, book editor for the publishers, for his sensitive and sympathetic consideration of both author and manuscript, and for the ultimate editorial achievement: allowing the author’s personality to come through the printed page, rather than his own;AGOL 8.7

    To Irene, my loving and understanding wife, who believed in and encouraged my literary predilections, and who shared ungrudgingly with this competitor for my total attention; and, finally, to many others (too numerous to mention individually) who contributed ideas and suggestions as the work of writing and revising progressed.AGOL 8.8

    With Tennyson’s “Ulysses,” I too “am a part of all that I have met.”AGOL 8.9
