Thanks for sharing, Skylar.

My favorite quote, about the statue outside of the Athletic Department
building bearing Tom's likeness:

*Q:* Are you uncomfortable with it because of your humility?

*A:* I don't know how to phrase it, but I wish I had a button where it could
just go down into the cement and then if there was a rare occasion where
someone wanted to take a picture with it, they could push a button and it
would pop right up.

Sort of captures Dr. Tom's personality in a paragraph ... 8^)

A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring
one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their
own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the
mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of
good government... - Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address
