Bon vivant, raconteur, and honest genealogist. Apt words to describe Tom.

Tom goes about his work in a respectable way. No sifting through other people's garbage, as archaeologists do. Tom blows the dust off the parchment and reads the historical documents.

Whe John set up this webpage, he described it as a labor of love. And if love means giving, sharing, and making people feel welcome, Tom has done that well.

Let Tom be our mentor. Each of us can contribute something to this webpage. Go where no one has gone before. Make it so.
