Publisher’s Note
Dick Terhune and I have known each other for forty-five years. We started together in Nebraska radio in 1981, when he was already the sharper voice on the air and I was still learning what a microphone was for. The following year, when I wrote a television series called The Westborough Crusaders for Cablevision, Dick was one of the actors who brought it to the screen. Years later, when the catalog opened to audiobook production on ACX, Dick auditioned for five of my books before either of us realized the other was on the platform. The discovery closed a circle that had been open since we left Nebraska. The audiobooks he has voiced for us carry that long acquaintance into the recordings, and the work is stronger for it.
Dick is also one of a handful of people in the world who correctly knows how to pronounce Beatrice, Nebraska. Outsiders say “BEE-uh-trice,” the way you would pronounce the girl’s name. The Nebraska pronunciation is “bee-AT-trice,” and getting it right was always the quiet marker among radio announcers of who actually knew the territory and who had just learned it from a map. Dick belongs to a smaller circle than that. He pronounces it “Beatville,” which is what the locals call it, and there is no map that gets you to that one.
