To my mother, Ilona (Weinberger) Winkler...

Who brought me to this world and taught me what's right and what's wrong.

Who instilled in me, that in life not everything is black and white.

Who trained me to judge every person in a positive way.

To my wife, Vera (Neiser) Vertes...

Who has been my partner in good and adverse times, created a family and warmth of a home.

Who made me a better person and became my best friend.

Who guided me to recognize the real meaning of love, understanding, respect and appreciation.

To my only granddaughter, Jaclyn Emily Vertes...

Who is one of the tangible proofs of my destination in this troubled world. She is my hope that our family's history will continue, and my Autobiography will not end with the last page
