Tommy and I were in most of our high school classed together. I remember him as very friendly and kind with everyone. I never heard him say a negative word about another person. He was good in everything he did. He was a litte more serious about his studies than many of us. Everyone respected him. I particularly remember him with fondness in Latin III and IV with Miss McDermott. He struggled a lilttle when we had to do recitations but never complained and always was perfect in his translations. I'm sure his Latin background helped with his medical studies! I hadn't followed his career after high school but am not surprised he became a successful doctor. I wish I had been in touch with him during his time in Huntsville and had met his family. He had a full life of service to others. I am proud to have been with him at Reynolds. My best wishes go out to his family.
