Brad Baker and Morgan Eurek filtered Jimmy’s world for teen authenticity, while George Weinstein, Mark All and Kathleen Boehmig provided support from the Four Elements. Chattahoochee High’s students and staff offered their heartfelt confidence in our work, and Northview High School offered the use of its hallway for the cover. We are exceedingly grateful to Dr. Thomas Inge for his honest and meaningful afterword. His devotion to solving the teen obesity problem is vital to the future of America. And, we are honored to have Doug Hennig as our inspiration. Without him, Jimmy Winterpock and his journal would not exist. Doug’s ability to lose excess pounds against insurmountable odds offers hope to all those who struggle with their weight. We feel gratitude beyond what we can articulate to Bonnie and David Buchanan, Michael Buchanan’s adventuresome and awesome parents; and to Don Lang, Diane Lang’s life partner, and Diane’s children, Amy and Donnie Lang, and Sarah and Chris Bollman, who helped make her writing life possible.
