It would be an unforgivable act of omission if I failed to express my deep personal appreciation to those who have joined me in this intergenerational celebration of human worth.  Dan Stotz persuaded me to undertake this venture.  If the work has merit, the credit is his.
     I am especially grateful to Ernie Harwell for his gracious Foreword to the book.  I doubt a kinder man than Ernie has ever graced our planet.
     Terri Devall has taken responsibility for the cover design for the volume. Working with such an accomplished professional has been a great personal pleasure.
    I am particularly indebted to Ben Rolfs for his able assistance in helping get the book on the Internet.
     I want to especially thank all of you, some whose names I don't even know, who have generously given me the ideas I have incorporated in this small volume.  You know who you are and now, hopefully, you will know how much your input is cherished.  It is certain I couldn't have done this without you!  Thank you.
     Finally, I wish to express my gratefulness to you, the reader, for taking time to get to know From This Mountaintop.  May this small volume encourage you to help build a bright future for humankind based upon the knowledge of how much we of all generations have in common!
