Introduction

To the memory of John Jerome, author of Truck, my original influence. 


This story takes place over a seven-year period though it won't seem like it to the reader. I encountered many minor characters along the journey both while experiencing the story and then while writing it.  Drafts of this book included the names of everyone who played even a small role in its development.  I later concluded it was too many names for a reader to keep track of.  I have opted to name only those people who played a significant role in the project, or for Checkers in general. Everyone who touched my life in this effort deserves to be named but not at the expense of readability.  If your name isn't here you will at least find reference to your contribution.
