I have edited this book for my late husband, Ronauld J Gould, who was a physician, adventurer, animal lover, clown, and Alaskan who had a very active and imaginative sense of whimsy. He was born and raised in Nebraska, and had the last 6 years of his life in Nevada with me, and his 2 Irish setters, several chickens, and many friends. His sudden and untimely death was a loss to many, but his life and legacy including this book, shall remain. My hope is that many smiles will be shared, and that the story will be read by many folks.
