This book is dedicated to my wife who, through the years, has understood my weaknesses and encouraged what strengths I have,

and to

Dr. Harold C. Bryant who did so much to make possible my work as an interpreter in the National Parks, and who helped instill in me some of the qualities I believe an interpreter should have.
