Matthew Gosney I’m extremely grateful to two loving parents who taught me right from wrong, a love of learning, and a value system that provides sure footing in challenging times. I’m happiest and most successful in my life when I live the way I was taught. I also wish to thank my wonderful wife, Sharon, and my son, Grayson. Both of you fill my days with immense joy. The two best titles I have are husband and father—I do my best to honor them. Mom, Dad, Sharon, and Grayson—this one is for you. Claretha Hughes I would like to dedicate this book to my late father Eugene Hughes Sr., who was a foreman in the 1950s in Lake City, South Carolina.
