A solid jock with perfect timing.<br />I followed him after his shift on K/Men, and I'll never forget the day he told me about his near-ticket, from the CHP! He had a muscle car, I believe it was a Dodge Challenger....One more citation and he was going to loose his license. When he got pulled over, he pretended that he was deaf and mute!! LOL... The rest of the story is priceless!<br />RIP Tom, we're gonna miss you.The Helmsmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28230378.post-48651110381883162142012-05-09T16:08:13.770-07:002012-05-09T16:08:13.770-07:00THANKS, JOHNNY.
