The story was edited by my sons Eric and Dave. I had Rey Rillo, the Architect in my firm, to make sketches of some of the persuasive methods employed by the Kempei-Tai.
My
secretaries, Mrs. Alicia D. Ramos and Carlota C. Sevilla, were occupied in typing and re-typing the stories as they were corrected. After it was finished, Charles McDougald, author of the Marcos File, requested a copy of the part describing the preparation and the raid of Muntinlupa. His comment was to have the story edited by somebody who has experienre in making a book. I decided to give the manuscript to my brother Raul, a jour-
nalism professor, for him to review the book to make all the necessary changes. It was already the first week of March and my target date for its release is April 11, the 50th anniversary of the Hunters. My son Dave helped in preparing laser printouts of the edited version to facilitate printing. LarryS. Francia, an artist-poet designed the cover of the book. The pictures of Airport Studio were provided by Mr. & Mrs. Amador Ong,the original owners of Airport Studio. Details on the story about Remy's death were gathered from Frisco San Juan and Seniong Angeles. To the above persons and all others whom I have interviewed through the years to make the telling of this story a reality, 1 can only say "Thank you." This book is theirs as well as mine.
