Dedication
On Sunday, December 6, 2020, my friend and teacher, Maria Tritico was shot and killed by a stray bullet. Her talent and humanity senselessly snuffed out. Maria epitomized kindness, humor, creativity and a tremendous vision of what we could be as humans through her many examples of service and love. She inspired and challenged me through her gentle and knowledgable encouragement and kind and positive criticism. Above all she was my friend and I miss her so very much.
