Their contribution has been
invaluable.
I am exceedingly grateful to Athena Schina, Professor at Athens University, who wrote her text with professional skill and a profound understanding.It is pleasant to report the gracious and individual help and consistent moral support of my artist friends George and Olga Famelis.
