Another alternative is to not maintain a pointer to the head of the 
linked list.  For operations like getParent() and getChild(), your 
service program only needs to know the element that the caller is 
currently working with.

If you really want to be able to get back to the first element easily, 
another option would be to have the caller pass a 'custTree' data 
structure which has two pointers, one pointing to the first element and 
one pointing to the 'current' element.
