I never had the pleasure of meeting Tom but have heard many great things about him. One thing I haven't heard is about him focusing on mentoring new cavers. If SWR will be developing an award for new cavers, then it should be named for someone whose focus was new cavers, as in the case of Chuck Stuehm in Texas. Maybe Tom fits that perfectly. I don't know one way or the other. If not, I suggest naming the award for someone who better fits the award and creating another award named for Tom that would honor him more by being more appropriate to his strengths, interests, and accomplishments.
