To my wife, Susan Shea Ulsch, my mother, Evelyn Frankenberg Houck, my brother, Phillip Ulsch, and his wife, Josie, my daughter, Jeanne McCabe, and Kenneth Brown. Around them, and their own growing families, my own universe revolves. To Joseph and Margaret Frankenberg, and N. M. Ulsch Sr. And to those in our family who fought overseas for the enduring liberty we enjoy years after their sacrifice: N. M. Ulsch Jr., Edward Frankenberg, Joseph Frankenberg, and Archie Shea.
