Oh Tommy, how am I going to do without you during football season-I use to get up early after each football game just to give you a hard time about being a Scotland Raider. You were always such a good sport-the last thing you said to me was SAM-I know where your heart is--yes Tommy-with the Scotland High Band! I will never forget your loving spirit❤. Your Scotland-Raider Buddy-SAM
