The Communication Playbook. Teri Kwal Gamble
We dedicate this book to our children, Matthew, a scientist, and Lindsay, an attorney, and their partners Tong and Daniel. We also write it in the memory of our parents, Martha and Marcel Kwal, and Nan and Wesley Gamble, and for our grandchild, Beckham Myles, who came into our lives last year, joyously reminding us of the magic of the cycle of life. Every day in Beckham’s life is an adventure, as it should be for us all.
