DEDICATION

I dedicate this year to my husband, Dean, who has supported me through it all.  To my mother and mother-in-law who have helped wherever they could, and to the rest of my family for all their assistance and support.  To the members of District No. 7 for their help, and last, but not by any means least, to the Sisters of my Lodge, Melba #105, who have been so supportive and helpful for the past three years.
