Be Thou At Peace

| I remember Tommie from countless games of Dungeons and Dragons, and for the 100th night show. He had a vision for that show, and drove us to get it done, and get it done right. He, more than any of the rest of us, was responsible for our show being exciting, interesting, and moving at a fast pace. I remember he was adamant that the show not last more than 90 minutes, and scene changes had to be fast. He had great imagination, great intelligence, and great potential. I m honored to have counted him a friend. He will not be forgotten. |
