After several years I finally feel as though I'm getting somewhere with Poser and 3D Graphics in general. Thanks to any and all of those who have offered me encouragement over the years.

For my friend and beta-reader in Northern England - TrinityWildcat, for being as silly over Robert Goren as I am and offering me encouragement in my little scribblings.

To the crowd at the Dr House Yahoo Group: Thanks for the insight, the lively, friendly debates, and the outright lust and love for Hugh Laurie and his character "Greg House." Motivational, to say the least!

To the ladies that haunt the Amorous Intent and Amorous Intent Adult Groups at Yahoo:  Who would think that two little spots on the web would have so much inspiration, silliness, and adoration for Bobby Goren and Alex Eames?

I have to give a nod to Alison Krauss and Union Station. Their music provided much of the inspiration behind The Touch, along with Alison herself for Sabrina Wallace.

My Internet life would have come along at the least later if I had not been someone who had just discovered the Moody Blues and went online in search of other fans and answers. It's been a long time since 1993 but some things never, ever quite leave you.

Much love and thanks go out to Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry, also known as Montgomery Gentry. Thanks for the direction your music set me on.

Finally, there are those I need to thank above all else:

Richard, you are my rock in times of trouble.  You're gonna make a great husband, father and lawyer.  Take hold of what life has blessed you with and run with it.  Love, Mom

Bobby, you are my shining pride and joy.  You have taken the lemons of autism and turned it into lemonade.  We miss you while you are off at college at University of Illinois.  Good luck on the path that the Goddess has set you on!  Love, Mom

My parents, Bob and Treva, and my sisters, Dianne, Debra and Connie: You have not only put up with me and all of my oddities over the years but manage to still love me in the process.  There are some things that can never be repaid nor torn apart, and a family's love is that and more.  I love all of you.  Linda

To Mike, for being the brother I never had, and to Dan, for finally bringing happiness to Deb.  Third time's a charm, right?  Love, your nutty sister-in-law

To Sandy: I know you're not online right now and someday I hope to rectify that. Always know that I am praying for you, and that you'll find the peace-of-mind buried deep within your soul. Love always, Cousin Linda

Juice, you are never far from my mind.  After over a decade we are still the best of friends.  Remember I'm a phone call away, day or night.  Love ya always, Lindsey
