AB When  it  came  to  writing  a  preface,  it  was  with  some  uncertainty  whether  we  would  compose  a  preface  or  a  foreword  for  this  edition  of  DeMyer's  The  Neurologic  Examination:  A  Programmed  Text.  A  preface  is  typically  written  by  a  book's  author,  while  a  foreword  is  an  introductory  essay  by  a  different  person  that  usually  precedes  it.  The  purpose  of  a  preface  is  for  the  author  to  explain  to  the  reader  why  the  book  was  written  or  how  it  came  into  being  while  it  typically  ends  with  their  acknowledgements  to  those  who  assisted  in  its  conceptualization,  development  or  who  provided  the  author  support  through  the  endeavor.  With  that  background  it  would  seem  that  we  are  clearly  the  "different  person"  and  should  limit  ourselves  to  a  foreword,  but  we  also  have  a  tale  to  tell  as  to  how  we  became  involved  at  Dr.  DeMyer's  and  his  family's  request.
