I have been fortunate enough to be inspired by some very special people. To acknowledge their impact on my life is to represent honor and respect. These are some of those special people that have given me tremendous direction in my life, whether directly or indirectly.

MOM AND DAD  

These wonderful people are the reason that I am here. My parents were very kind hearted, loving, accepting, and sweet.

My father was very patient and had a gift of intense focus. His endurance was unmatched. At the same time he was mannerly and a gentleman.

My mother's kindness was contagious. She treated everyone as equals and always had something good to say about a person.

I could go on and on about the traits and qualities that I learned from my parents.

MOM AND DAD, THANK YOU FOR THE GIFT OF LIFE.

 I WILL MAKE YOU BOTH PROUD.

STEVE KADER

This is my "BEST FRIEND" in the entire

 world.

Words cannot explain how much this man

 has influenced me. His intellectual advice

 given to me over the years has helped to

 shape me into the person that I am today.

His personality is special and unique. He is a

 genius, a philosopher, a comedian, and a

 caring human being.

  Steve, having you in my life has made my

 days better on this earth. You and I have an

 understanding beyond spoken words. We

 have shared

 so much and I want you to know that no

 one

 will ever be closer to me than you.

You have taught me that "I am the niche",

 and this information is the very driving force

 behind me believing in myself. When you

 said those words to me at that very moment

 I changed for the better. I owe you respect

 and honor forever. 

Steve, thank you for everything and you will

 always be my best friend. Without you I

 would be lost in this world.

We are one.

"I LOVE YOU"

WAYNE GREEN

 This man is well versed, experienced, and truly cares about the world. You are out of your mind if you do not purchase his "Secret Guide To Health". His unique style of writing, wit, and humor will delight you, and his wisdom will educate your miseducated mind. :)

Well look at that Wayne, you made my most important list. Just sit back and relax and bask in the proper recognition that you rightly deserve.

 You've spoken words and I have absorbed. You've written sentences and I have understood. You've gathered words and sentences into paragraphs and I have applied. It is an honor to facilitate to others the knowledge that I've acquired from you.

 The days of being uninformed and ignorant are over. Thanks Wayne !!!

   LEO BUSCAGLIA

Thank God for Leo and his genuine nature. He opened up my heart as well as my mind.

Because I was fortunate enough to study this man and his teachings, I have become full of Love and understanding. His books and his words are truly a most treasured memory of my past. And I intend to use this knowledge to shape the present moment, as well as to assist me transitioning into the future.

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."

Thank you Leo Buscaglia.

 BRUCE LEE

"Don't think, Feel."

"It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that Heavenly glory."

Bruce Lee taught me to "Focus" rather than

concentrate. When you concentrate you only

see one thing yet when you focus you see

the entire picture.

Focus and you will succeed.

Thank you Bruce Lee.

 BETH JONES

Beth, when I was very sick with Lyme

 Disease, your support and humor were

 what got me through some of my most

 difficult days.

You were always an entertaining and

 favorite friend to me in times of need.

I will never forget that and will always hold

 you dear to my heart.

Thank you for being one of my very

friends throughout all the years that we

 have known one another.

"I LOVE YOU".

RICHARD OSWALD

This man deserves tremendous respect. When I was young and confused and lacking direction in my life, Rich stepped in. He took the time out of his day to give me attention and guidance. There was not one single negative word that this caring man said to me. His positivity was then and still is a great influence in my life. He adds variety and enthusiasm to every conversation.

Rich, I'm entertained by your eccentric, interesting, and intelligent personality. Thank you for always being genuine with me.

You are appreciated.

"I LOVE YOU"

KELLY BELL

It would take pages to describe the influence that this incredible man has bestowed upon me. He is a life long friend, a genius, a caring soul, a "path clearer", a talented Martial Artist,  and a gentle warrior. He has a gift of energy and what makes this so very wonderful is that he will share it with you. There is a feeling of "uplifting" when he approaches you. Kelly, your energy is contagious and I feel more intelligent and content when you are around. I appreciate your time spent educating my internal cravings for knowledge.

Because you have chosen to share your personality and teachings, I want you to know that I will never take you for granted. I cherish the fact that you care enough to make a positive difference in my life, and help to guide me on my path.

I want the world to know that I'm proud to call you my friend.

Kelly, you are one of a kind.
