I wish to dedicate this book to my husband, one of the good ol' boys, Robert W. Lanier, who is known in Echols, Clinch, Lowndes and Hamilton counties as "Hoss."

Without his two major sacrifices—playing golf every blessed day the wind didn't blow over seventy miles per hour or during electrical storms, and entertaining his buddies till the wee hours most nights in his private pub—this book would not have been possible.

It don't get any better than this, honey. This book's for you.
