You might find this piece from today's Howard County (MD) Times to be of interest -- they got the name of DCMM (3rd paragraph from the end) wrong but the rest of the article is pretty good.

Tom

 

Congratulations on the article...

Now that you are famous will you continue to hang around with us .. simple mini people ?

Ahh -- but if I were rich, I'd be driving a Ferrari

 

I would NOT be driving a Ferrari.. I'll take my MCS over a ferrari everyday simply because I KNOW i can handle the snow here in michigan with my MCS.

 

Great article and congratulations! You can be our spokesmodel for DCMM.

 

Congratulations Tom,

I think it's pretty cool that I can say I'm friends with a real rocket scientist!

 

I don't get it. You own a Mini. When do you find the time for all of that? Shouldn't you be out motoring? Where are your priorities, man?





Just kidding. Congrats! LMK if you need a translator next time you go to Russia.

 

Let's think about how great this award is -- yes, Tom is the only American (ok, non-russian) to get this award --- but they give it out in the middle of winter -- who do they expect to come up there are accept???

Yes, I love telling people I am friends with a rocket scientist almost as much as I enjoyed the story of you using your dishwasher to clean car parts and Elizabeth married you anyway!!!!

Congrats on the excellant article ---

Hugs,
PB

 

Surprisingly & pleasantly, the weather in St Pete was tolerable. Half the days were bright sun, snow a couple of days, temps near freezing. We took bootwarmers and ended up not needing them. And vodka is good anti-freeze.

Now don't go telling too much about my sordid past and days of mis-spent youth.

 

Congrats, Tom, on your prestigious new honor! And, BTW, you're good at planning steamtrain rides, too! LOL! :smile:
