I want to honor the assistance of the Master guide Lai Tsi for his invaluable knowledge, which is always there when I need it. I lovingly thank my daughters Sandra Griffin and Donna Taylor for their support and assistance. I also wish to thank all of my family of friends at the Healing Arts Center for their wonderful support and encouragement.
