n October, 1983, recently divorced, I packed up two kids and three cats, borrowed money from my parents, and moved to Lake Geneva. The furniture and our clothes were late arriving. The check from parents took two weeks to clear, so we lived off my daughter's birthday money. Ray bought a dress for me so I would have something to wear on my first day at TSR. I went from being one of the youngest employees at my old job to one of the oldest at TSR. (I was thirty-five!) But when I entered that building and saw Zeb's cubicle decorated with hundreds of Transformers and the art department with the hand waving at me from the toilet in the middle of the room, then I met for the first time with Tracy Hickman and Michael Williams and the rest of the Dragonlance team, I knew I was home.
