Thomas Lee HAWKINSON

I was a 'hayseed' from North Dakota - that moved into a rental house next to Tom in 1961. He befriended me right away and began to teach me how to play golf, softball, basketball, football - - most of which I knew nothing about. We went to school together at Havermale JHS - then NCHS. We played most of the golf courses in Spokane together - - and rode our bikes all over town. In fact, we biked to Fish Lake a couple of times. I owe much of my success throughout my life in sports to Tom. ...

Tom was such a great guy! Sorry we didn't get to connect this last weekend. (9-27- 9-28 2025)
