The last two stories have had dedication for people that have influenced my stories. Just like them, I have a person who has inspired me to write this. So, like my mother for 1943 and Quentin Tarantino for 1968, I have one for 1970.

This would be awarded to my uncle. He has become the major father figure in my life, and he has influenced my writing in a way like the other two have. He shaped my attitude towards characters and the material I place in my writing. For that, I am eternally thankful for. Thank you, for helping me realize that I was a writer.

Although we don't see each other much due to distance, I think about all you've said to me almost every day. You have affected the kind of person I am on a level you may not even know. That then effects my writing as well. Thank you for that, because I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for you.
