This book is dedicated to my wife Shirley Ann Bruckner Reece, born 12/03/1932 and died 09/29/1999.
Thanks to God for the gift of Shirley for the 46 years of our marriage and for the seven children (Mary Kay, Kathy Ann, Barbara Jean, Sara Lucinda, Anna Marie, Susan Theresa, and William Omar II) we were privileged to bring forth. Shirley was raised in Chicago and received her BS in Foods and Nutrition at Iowa State University. We were united in marriage prior to receiving our degrees in 1954.
Shirley was a model wife and mother. At every age she had wisdom beyond her years and was admired by all who knew her. She personified joy, received by grace through God, enjoyed life and loved Ames. Because of her example, support for my vocation, and her enthusiasm for family, church, community, and the veterinary profession, I have been encouraged and privileged to continue with productive professional activity, which includes the Fifth Edition of Functional Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals, and thereby give honor for her presence throughout much of my life.
