Dedication

To look ahead and see what we may become, we must first look back to see how our past has enriched us. I dedicate this work to two men who lived during the same winters although several thousand miles apart. The first man is my Great-Grandfather Otto Wolf, a humble cobbler who lived in the village of Gommla in Thuringia, Germany. He dedicated his life to the care and comfort of sixteen children, the oldest of whom was my grandmother Ella. The second man is Black Elk, a Lakota holy man who shared this humility and dedicated his life to his family and his belief. The strength and conviction of these two men serve as markers of courage for me to look ahead and see what I may become.
