It is with much sadness that we learned of the passing of our good friend Tom. We remember well all of the summers that we and our families spent in Mt. Gretna - the lake, Gov. Dick, the soldiers field, the Timbers and Midge's corner. We will miss him. So long for now. The Hicks' - Kate Hicks Troup, Peg Hicks Byford and Bill Hicks.
