Giving credit where due

I owe my life to this guy, Ken Grant, a man to have at one's back:

You should read his op-ed pieces.  They're always thought-provoking and seeking improvement in our daily lives.  Ken walks the walk before he talks the talk.
We became friends in the mid-90s when he was a news radio reporter and I was crusading to bring change to the Delaware Family Court system.

Ken and I are separately on the Extras portion of the Atlas Shrugged DVD.

This is my very savvy and beautiful sister Melissa Brannon Sward who came in and cared for me during and after my hospital stay [with her eldest, my nephew Brannon -- a dashing young gentleman], by cleaning my Augean library.
