George,
While I don't think that is the first thing one would think about
regarding Tom, I recall him being open and agreeable with all cavers. I got to
know Tom as a fairly new caver and went caving with him when I was a relative
novice. Kathy's first trip up 3 mile hill was in Tom's Bronco.
While I didn't know Tom as well as a lot of others, he seemed to be a
friend to all.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you
didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from
the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
attributed to Mark Twain, but no record exists of his having written this.
