DEDICATION
To: BERNARDITA
September 6, 1933-August 19, 1994
My fondest, fairest face in all the world. Beloved wife and mother of fourteen, lovely grandmother of nine (so far) and loving sister to all; whose thirty-nine years, three months and fifteen days of life upon this earth shared with me—God's gift—was the most elevating excitement of my soul. Poetry in its pristine purity.
