Some comments that have been left that I'm afraid people won't see

1971 or was it 72? it was a warm ann arbor evening. tom and I out, not doing much, just listening to the radio. then Otis came on. tom joined and I still remember him singing "sittin on the dock of a bay" to me. It touched then and still resonates almost 40 years later.

Tom and I were friends in high school~the same class. We also both went to UofM. We got together for a date, 72-ish. He picked me up in a (did he have a red MG?)He took me to the AA Experimental Film Festival at the old art/arch building on Main campus. Pat Olesko performed that night. Then we went for a few beers at the Del Rio. It was a wonderful evening and I'll always remember enjoying Tom's company. That was the last time I saw Tom. Almost 40 years later and I always wondered what happened to him. You never forget Tom.
I'm Jean Morgan Compton; some of you might know me better as the sister to my more famous musician brother, Scott. But, Tom and I were classmates. Lots of fun memories from HS as well. Nice to see pics and hear his voice. Still in MI. Wish I could be there for the Memorial but have an oldest daughter graduating from EMU. Best, Jean

I hadn't remembered the surf board and black room until I read this. What I remember is the drum set in his room. I also remember one night we girls, Theresa, Martha and I, were hanging around in Martha's room and Tom came in just after taking a shower, with only a towel wrapped around him. He started telling us about when he was skiing and, of course, being very animated, right when he "jumped down the hill" his towel fell off. We all giggled and thought it was so cute and funny. I think he was in 8th grade.

From Lisa Anderson on March 26:
When Tom first became interested in surfing I decided that I would save up my money and buy him a surf board. I remember writing a letter to Grammy telling her that I was going to save up all my money until I could buy Tom a surf board. I think I was going for $100. She sent me money towards my goal. I can't remember if I ever managed to get the funds but I remember that I wanted to do this for him. This was clearly before he started tormenting me every morning I must have been around 10.
