To the reader:
Throughout the book the generic "businessman" and the pronoun "he" have been used for the sake of brevity. In all instances it is the author`s intention to imply both the male and female gender.

Acknowledgments
My gratitude to all those who have passed through my life, whether in a positive or negative manner. All have contributed in some way to the substance of this book.
My gratitude to:
• Kurt Survance, who patiently saw me through my numerous false starts and provided me the necessary insights to structure this book.
• Karen M. Dibblee; without her input this book would not have been the same.
• Gayle Vrla, my friend, who is always there for me. • Dottie Walters, for her unfailing spirit and support.
• J.J. Liu Tsai, my former classmate, for her love and friend ship.
• Tamra Sinclair for her great patience.
I give a special thanks to the reference departments of the Marin County Library in California and the Mulmoah County Library in Oregon.
To all I am indebted. Without their teamwork this book would not have been possible.
