Acknowledgements

To my wife Nancy for her love, support, and encouragement while writing this business guide. Had it not been for her patience and delicious meals and especially her meatballs and Italian meat sauce passed down from her Polish mother (married to an Italian), I would not have had the stamina to complete this work.

To my children who always knew Dad could fix anything.

To Joe Matthews, who with an editor’s eye, smoothed the rough edges and refined the story.

Finally, I thank my hundreds of loyal customers over the years that have trusted in me and their kind compliments that mean so much to me.
