CREDITS
Credit is due to Karen Carter, who parted with valued information about retirement communities. Thank you, Karen, for taking the time and effort to educate me on the complex subject of retirement living. Stan Carter gave tips on a mixed-doubles tennis match. I appreciate your expertise, Stan. As with every book, I relied on my daughter Franziska’s proofreading skills. How wonderful to have such a gem in the family! Again, Valoise Douglas applied herself to a superb editing job. Last, but not least, I thank my husband, Wilfried, for his readiness to explore locations with me. For researching this book, he accompanied me on a trip to Utah and helped scout out a Ventura beach for the setting of my fictional retirement community.
