Special thanks go to a few
of my best friends Thanks to Phoenix Michaels for the majority
of the conception and graphic design for the cover and his
invaluable advice. Thanks to Celina Hicks for her role as the
beautiful model displayed on the front cover and as an
invaluable editor for much of the book. Thanks to my friend and
co-conspirator Brent Fletcher; who has also helped me to keep
developing as a writer.
Special thanks to Jim
Schmolke, Roy Stover, Eric Bissbocci and Don Watson and Tim
Bloch who have been patient enough to read my stuff, giving me
needed feedback along the way. I want to thank my stepfather
Jay Disorbo for his everyday example of what true work ethic and
discipline is about. I want to thank many of my friends from
Philly, for their love and support. To Debbie Pansire, Chris
Lynch, Jon Lynch, Mrs. Lynch, Mr. Mullen, John Mullen, Little
John Delaney, John Aberant, Brian Anderson, Bill Hoffman, Paul
Harcelrode, Maribeth Reagan, Aunt Rosie, Uncle Skip and Aunt
Rita with much love and gratitude for being there over the
years.
Specials Acknowledgments To:
Phoenix
– For the positive
influences that he has played in my life. I am thankful that I
have such a friend as a fine example of a man who always pursues his goals with
vigor… even the ones that scared him. As a person, he has been
one of my top inspirations in life.
Brent Fletcher
– For his caring and his unflinching support of my goals even at
the cost of putting some of his off. He has also been a positive
influence towards my quest to improve myself and has been a calm
voice when things got tough.
Vincent Lazarus Chimera
– a name that I have given to a friend who has volunteered to
come forth and be my lightening rod as I have helped him to vent
his many disappointments in life.
Neo
– A friend who has filled in
at times as a father, a favorite uncle, an older brother I wish
I had and a friend who has save my life and hopefully saved me
from damnation. Thanks for giving many ideas on how to get
important messages out without going Postal.
Poppy
– Without her early encouragement to write and to complete my
first Book ‘Zen & The Art Of Resistance Training – A Yogic &
Scientific Approach To Weight Lifting’ I very likely would
have never discovered the joys of writing and the books and the
stories that needed to get out would remain buried forever. To
her I have a single message that I hope she understands
“To the many fond memories of the good times;
forgiveness of the transgressions and bad times;
My hope for the promises that life may bring us –
if we live with honesty, integrity and walk in the light.”
Last but not least this Book
as with the other books is dedicated in memory of:
Tom Jennings-
My friend whose life and our friendship - tragically cut short.
He taught me a lot about courage and what it means to stand up
for your friends, for what is right in the face of adversity.
I miss you.
Most of all, this book is
dedicated to My Mother.
She has more than anyone
taught me about discipline, sacrifice, compassion, friendship,
love, loyalty, to both friends and just causes. She has given me
more than I could ever repay in several lifetimes. Having her as
a mother has tempered me… kept me from evil, made me think twice
about doing questionable things.
I miss her everyday.
