You had to either bring your book to Tom at a conclave to get it signed, or drop by is trailer and buy the book directly from him to get it signed. when Allan Fish came through Lake Charles and I met him for the first time, we went out to dinner, and then dropped by Tom's trailer and both purchased books that Tom was nice enough to sign. He also gave allan a couple of .56%ers which he had tied (one of which allan was nice enought to give me). Tom put most of us tiers to shame...his tying room was pristine, neatest I've ever seen....must have been something about being an engineer...
And I think that Mark D, would agree - the best part of the evening was chatting with Tom. He was a really neat fellow. He was complaining to me that they wouldn't let him renew his pilot's license because he had suffered a very mild heart attack. He hadn't been able to pilot his plane for nearly a year so he sold it. I asked him how old he was. He was 86 at that time! Sadly, he died three months later. Allan -- Allan Fish Greenwood, IN [EMAIL PROTECTED]
