                   To the Heroes

 

  Thank you, Bill for sharing your loving oceanic ways.  My sincere appreciation to Terry Pinney of Dolphins and You for your encouragement and dolphin pod-like support of my endeavors in photography and writing.  Thank you Dr. Paul Spong, the founder of the first Greenpeace whale campaign, and Dr. Randy Eaton of the Orca Project for recognizing my inspiration to turn the world around.  Thanks to Tori Cullins and the Wild Dolphin Foundation for helping me unite the land and the water peoples.

 I deeply appreciate those at the Marine Mammal Center, and the Wildlife Center of Kenwood for education; not only in natural history but also in the subject of inexhaustible dedication.

 

  

 

Tearful thanks to all the ocean creatures, especially the cetaceans (dolphins, whales and porpoises), and the pinnepeds (seals and sea lions) that I have known, both wild and captive, for keeping their souls shining...so that we may all see the light!

Most of all, I acknowledge the help of my guardian angels; for without their relentless, yet softly-spoken enlightenments these words would never have been written.

 

 

 

 

 

Dedication

This book is dedicated to my mother, Mickey.

Thank you for fearlessly guiding  me through
the mist-shrouded door 
leading to the
limitless world of 
The Dream Time
