A forward written by Tom
Tom is one of the nicest guys in the universe. I still cherish the time I spent with him over the years. I first met him in Knoxville and we talked about the new Hall of Fame he was working on. He showed me the stuff he had gathered in an old empty building near the fairgrounds and asked for some help on Ascot stuff. He and the people who put that thing together were magnificent and he played a large part in it's success. Over the years we were together often as I traveled back to Knoxville for a lot of years. Later, I quit the yearly trip because of my love for the non wing stuff, and I was there because the CRA was running nearby, and I would take in the first night of the Nationals. I would work in the museum during the day, then go up to the viewing level when the race started and after the heats, he would smile, shake my hand and send me on my way to the next race. Like many of my friends in racing, I miss him and hope we cross paths again in the future. He was very ill recently, but came back to health and moved back to his home in New York where he grew up. Keep on posting Tom, your history in racing is nice to watch unfold on facebook.
