Note From the Publisher: When reading Ten Little Sisters, a story about separation, to 44 children in a local school I read, "They missed one another," a little boy in the front row held up his hand. "I know what that means. My Daddy is in Iraq." I stopped reading and asked for the hands of other children with parents, grandparents, brothers, or sisters, in Iraq or Afghanistan. Little hands went up all over the room. I glanced at the teacher. She nodded affirmation. I asked about their families and they responded, some with tears. We eventually went back to the book and they listened quietly. The teacher later wrote that she was glad I took the time to have each child speak. It wasn't a hard decision to make..

There are other children, in those war-torn areas, that are hurting. Gary Sinise and Laura Hilldenbrand are co-founders of Operation Iraqi Children (OIC). For over three years the organization has provided school supplies to children in Iraq, distributed by U.S. soldiers. You might want to contribute to this very worthwhile effort—Google Operation Iraqi Children.

Teachers, Professors and Mentors have played important roles in Wenzel's life. They include teachers: Helen Harrington, Glendon Gabbard, Dick Eastman, Donald Shanower, Anne Zeidman, Lilla Heston; and a special thanks to historian, researcher, and author, Wayne C. Temple.

Virtually all of the publisher's family have provided assistance to Mayhaven over the years through their various talents. Here the author's grown children at a casual family gathering, and notes on their expertise..
