To:
My defunct wife Lê Thị Vân-Anh who had successfully though austerely tried to provide our six young children with nourishment and schooling, and even myself with supplemental food, during more than 12 years I was harshly imprisoned by the communists.
and to:
My dear friend Thompson A. Grunwald, the first Director of United States Information Service in Huế, Central Vietnam, whose precious assistance helped me become the first ever to teach English-by-Radio to Vietnamese listeners.
