I was one year behind Tom all through Monroe and Riley. We lived about 2 blocks from each other and hung out together as part of the same group of kids. He was a good athlete and could run like the wind. The old group of kids started losing touch with each other about the time he returned from Viet Nam as some were still in high school, some were in college and still others had entered the adult world of relocation and work. I've often thought about Tom wondering how he was doing. You will be missed my friend.......Dave Priester
