Tom was one of a kind. Every old Armed Guard sailor who knew him, who swapped e-mail with him or talked with him by phone, will ever forget him. Nor will any of us ever stop being grateful for what he did in our behalf. It can't be much longer before we're all gathered in the mess hall of some ghostly Liberty ship, recalling memories of long ago when we were young and went to sea with a prayer that we'd be present for the long voyage home. Best wishes to everyone here. Fran
