Tom-The Man He Didn't Have To Be

I'm a volunteer at Challenge Alaska and Tom has always been a huge inspiration to me. That guy could do anything, from teathering a bi skier and sharing in the thrill sailing down the mountain, to assisting a heavy client off the snow over and over again with a smile on his face and encouragement in his voice. He was an amazing office manager yet he never seperated himself from the people that he said "were the ones making it happen-the volunteers". People like Tom just don't come around that often but when they do, it kind of reminds us of just how good the world can be and all that's possible within each of us. Thanks Tom, thanks for being the man you didn't have to be...SkiBetty
