Author's Note:
There are some misspellings in the book --
and that's what happens when you try to proof read
your own work while on a three month trip
across the Czech Republic.
I take full responsibility for the misspellings,
but as the French say here, "C'est la Vie."  
And as a Czech might say:
Tamto je život
Meanwhile I hope that does not distract from the facts presented.   
Alas, I was just unable to find some one else to proofread it.
