THOMAS MERILL KIEHNE, Alexandria, Minnesota, E-2 "Big Tom," as we all called him was really a great guy from that famous tourist state of Minnesota. He never let anything get him down; he just took life in stride. With his superior academic standing Tom was there when you needed him, and he was probably in the bag if you didn't. Most of us in E-2 will always remember Tom as everybody's friend and someone we could all count on; but then what can you say about a guy who's been your friend for four years?
