Blind Love [antikvár]

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many people contributed to making this book possible, and I greatly appreciate their cooperation, advice and criticism. Not everyone who helped can be mentioned—they will, I hope, recognize their contributions and accept my thanks—but I can specifically thank various friends and family of the Grahams and Zamoras; Texas police, law enforcement, and government officials; Air Force and Naval Academy officials; fellow journalists and various Mansfield and Crowley residents: Charlie Allen, Mike Androvett, Vickie Bane, Cindy Bean, Laraine Bethke, Alicia Brooks, Dee Davey, Wayne Foreman, Gary and Vickie Foster, Gloria Franco, Jay Green, John Green, Connie Guel, Skip Hollandsworth, Nancy Huckaby, Lt. Commander Patrick M. McCarthy, Tim Madigan, Anne Maier, Blondy Malone, Mike Parrish, Alan Patton, Ellise Pierce, Bonnie Redin, Karen Roebuck, Chuck Sager, Damon Steele, Carlton Stowers, Shakey Texan, Darrell Thompson and Novella Young. Without their assistance, in large and small ways, this book would not have been possible. The mistakes, of course, are my own. I owe a special debt to both Evie Thompson and Tom Nugent for their valuable research contributions, to my editor Charles Spicer and his assistant Stephen Murphy for shepherding the manuscript, as well as to friends and family—^Ed and Lil Linfante, Bonnie Smith, Martin Gross, and Janet and Dylan— for their soothing and steadfast support.
