Most weeks found Tom spending his Mondays playing Euchre at Greencroft and spending his Tuesdays taking class at the Boardwalk clubhouse. Tom was very talented and won several awards for his artwork. By the time Thursday rolled around, he was usually down at the local VFW playing Trivia with the "Born To Be Wild" team of Henry & Deb Harris, Kent & Terry Maggart and Sue Lantz.
