Dear Dottie, I am sorry to be tardy with this message. I just returned from Ireland to get the news. I always respected Tom as fellow history teacher, and enjoyed interacting with him as he was a real character! He had an influence on many people,even beyond his students and colleagues. My most sincere condolences to your family.
