Tom looks like someone it would be oh so good to know. #11416858Sandy Driscoll December 26, 2015
I agree with all the comments above - he looks like someone we would all enjoy knowing! #11416880Nikki McDonald December 26, 2015
Tom is a wonderful, friendly person, as warm as his twinkling eyes and smile would lead you to believe. He's especially good with the young people who come to the fort and loves to explain how tools are forged in terms that they can understand. He has lots of grandchildren, so I guess he gets lots of practice :)Emile Abbott January 31, 2016
