ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

  For those that labored to get this book printed, I say a huge thank you. I am forever indebted to you. You know yourselves well. Again, my brother and friend-Mr. Roland Massaquoi thank you for such a brilliant idea. Although you put me in trouble, I am better off in the end. Remember I am billing you if my heart cuts, lol.
