To my parents, Harry and Patricia Kraemer—who taught me the values

To my wife, Julie Jansen Kraemer—who by her example encourages me to live the values

To my children, Suzie, Andrew, Shannon, Diane, and Daniel—who inspire me to teach the values

And to Bill Jansen (1957–2008), my brother-in-law and special friend, whose love of life, people, and adventure I will never forget
