Day of Change was completed in 1976, the year my mother
died. It could be argued she had no part in the writing but the spirit she
instilled in me - in everyone - is in the book. Equally instrumental was the
mill which we were in the turmoil of restoring. Literally toppling into it
its millstream, Julia, our small children and I worked, fought, laughed, wept
and turned it into an environmentally-sensitive home - dry toilets, wood stoves,
furnaces and recycled water. The process was testing in the extreme.
It is to my mother Lilly, the Mill in Three Bridges, New Jersey, and my wife
Julia I dedicate Day of Change - one who gave me life, a structure
whose life I helped prolong and the woman who gives my life meaning.
