A Special Thank You to my wife, Sharyn Albini, who had to listen to all the writes and rewrites over the years.

Dedicated to my parents, Louis Alfred Albini and Katherine Jeannine Albini.

Inspired by my love for animals, my love for America, my father Louis Albini, and Clement C. Moore.

Honoring my Christian Faith, my good friends and a few people from the past who were very special to me. I’ve used their names as the names of my characters in the Rescue Ranch Series. I had so many friends with the name Bob I had to use the name Bobo to cover them all. They became the voice of wisdom on the farm and it was a fun way to keep my friends around me. This way we could all live forever in the stories. I won’t get them all in but I’m going to try.
