As Toms younger sister I'd like to share a comical memory from our childhood, in Armona Ca, about 57/58. Tom & I were often left "In Charge" when the folks were away on church business. On one of those occasions our 2 youngest brothers at the time, Jim & Richard, became involved in a much too rowdy jostle. It was UNUSUAL for Tom to be the one to intervene (normally it was left up to me). Tom jumped up took them both by an arm & marched them outside into the front yard. Tom stood there a minute or so as the rest of us thought, Uhhh Ohh, they are really in for it now. Finally he said "OK, I was going to give you guys some bubble gum...WELL now I'm NOT...!!!" And that was it...LOL
