Tom was intelligent. A quick study playing chess. Had a sense of humor. A prankster,. at the particular expense of neighbor girl, Becky. Played many horse and basketball games on driveway basketball court. Played football and kickback in the West Circle street. Made model cars;. Tom’s 1962ish Pontiac model car was fast, racing down the steep driveway. Good memories forever.
Tom was intelligent, athletic, and spontaneous. One of the first ones picked for games and one of the last ones standing in grade school spelling bees. I remember being at Capital Theater watching an early Elvis movie when Tom jumped up and started dancing in the aisle. He carried that enthusiasm for life through high school and then to Stanford. He will be fondly remembered.
