To my wonderful parents, Willie A. Coney and Rosa D. Coney, my loving husband, John F. Allison, and my sweet daughter, Kayla Desiree Allison. You each played a special role in inspiring me to reach for the stars, stay focused, and work hard. I love you!

To my wife, Deborah, who puts up with my idiosyncrasies and is always there for me. When we got married she promised that I would never be bored, and she has definitely exceeded that promise. She is the love of my life and, while I don’t say it often enough, Ihopethatsheknowsit.
With special thanks to the members of the Metroplex Access Developers (MAD) group — colleagues and friends who are always available.
