We are deeply appreciative of the support received from our families and close friends who remind us that achieving important goals is best done within a framework that balances personal and professional life. I (Ray) am indebted to my wife, Judy G. Chipperfield, for fostering a creative environment for consultation and reflection, and to my son, Jason P. Perry, for reminding me of the important things in life. I (John) would like to thank my mentor, Charles F. Elton, my wife, Bunty Ethington, and my children, Dawn Farrar and David Smart.
