Somehow this horrible news has escaped me until Debbie sent me an email this morning. I am heartbroken ! Back in 2007, I met Thom and Debbie at a show near Cheyenne. From that moment, they made me part of their "group". I was going through a divorce at that time. Being invited to meet with other Forum members for breakfasts and lunches was a real morale booster. I spent many great days with Thom and Debbie at shows (and restaurants) over the following years. If you sat for a day at a show with Thom and Debbie you saw how much other "regulars" just loved them ! Thom was my kind of guy. He could "dish it out", and appreciated a good return in kind. I remember walking into a show to sit down with him for a day. I strode up wearing my big 'ol Tom Mix Stetson. Thom says "What the $#@!$ are you doing Driskill" ? .... "What do you mean" ? says I....... "You can NOT wear a hat like that with TENNIS SHOES " !! Well .. of course Thom was right, and I never did again. Those shows and meals together were golden times of great fun. As I know many MANY others do ..... I feel privileged for Thom to have included me among his friends. This really HURTS !
