BOOK OF DAYS
by Sara Reinke


This book is dedicated with love in memory of my uncle,
James E. “Pete” Howard
(August 1, 1956-April 11, 2001), Chief Petty Officer, United States Navy,
who began it all with a simple gift that has yielded a lifetime of bounties for me ...
And in memory of my father-in-law, Rodney R. Reinke
(October 18, 1941-June 8, 2001),
in whose gentle smiles lay unspoken volumes.
Ta a fhios sin agam ta sibh in eineacht le me.
Go raimh maith agat, mo'cairde. Codladh samh duit.
