I first met Tom when he was working as an Exhibit Specialist for Harpers Ferry NHP in (about) 1980. He was quite a character, but very helpful and kind to a budding young historical architect. We kept in contact when he went to Steamtown, and I to Gettysburg, and then reconnected in Colorado Springs after his retirement (of sorts). Though I have not seen his since he left the Springs, I recalled him often and always thought of him as a friend, because he was. Barb and family, I am sincerely sorry for your loss.
