My parents, Harold and Kathy Polton, were born and raised in a city that Wentworth designed. They have given me an appreciation for that place and time and I thank them. I dedicate this project to them. As always, Bobbie and my daughters Maya, Madeline and Rachael, have been very supportive of my efforts.
I have been given significant help and encouragement from the following:
