One morning, a few days before closing on the Wizard Academy land purchase that took all the money we had, I got sucked under a dark wave of inadequacy as I thought about the vision Roy had been sharing with Wizard Academy students.

After a few moments of breathless panic, I was calmed with an absolute “knowing” that the right people would come and help at the right time, and together, we would do something amazing.

You are those people and I sincerely thank God for you.

This book offers our humble thanks to all those wonderful people who pulled together to lift an underwater dream into the bright light of reality.

P.S. I am saddened that only a small percentage of you will find your photo in this book. Too seldomly did we remember to pull out a camera while you were here! But you know who you are. We do, too.
