Lots of wonderful memories of travel with Tom, from Lake Quinault to Croatia, from Alaska to Oaxaca. Tom loved music and it was fun to see how much he enjoyed the Santa Fe opera and the San Francisco Symphony. He was curious and always ready for a new adventure. Tom was a kind and sweet man (beneath that gruff exterior) and I and many others will miss him.
