Acknowledgments
Special thanks to my parents, Ruth and Barry Kircher,
who took time
out of their busy schedules to find and send me the
photos I requested.
And also thanks to Ruth for letting me use her pictures.
And to Jeff Mann for helping with computer problems,
proofreading the text,
discussing the physics of hammers, maintaining my
sanity in the final hours,
and bringing me lots of chocolate.
"Thanks!"
