I would like to dedicate this story to Mary Lindesmith who taught me how to follow your artistic talent. I watched within a basement as she painted her masterpieces. With love, laughter and beauty. And to my children and my wife who have always been my inspiration in life. They see and cherish everyday without color or difference. And their being will always shine within me and everyone they meet. And a final thanks to Dan Patrick and Gary Huntley. Your friendship, guidance and drive is invaluable in this world. You both have inspired my life.
