Did you ever hear about the night Tom and 2 clients were stranded overnight in Sept up at the pickup lake on the American, if not it was pretty crazy. Tom took these 2 guys from New York that weren’t the best clients, I think they were lawyers of course. I got picked up and a huge storm rolled in when I got back to the lodge. Chris tried a few times to fly in and pick Tom up but he just couldn’t do it. It rained and rained all night long. All I could think about was this really stinks for Tom. I knew there wasn’t much wood out there and all they had was the lunch they took. Anyways as early as Chris could fly he went and got them. I was waiting by the lake when they pulled in. First the 2 clients hopped out looking like death warmed over and not happy, then Tom popped out with a big smile on his face as always. We got back to his cabin and he told me how they were freaking out about the bears coming to get them and complaining about no food, etc. So of course Tom never letting anything get him down tried to keep them busy by picking berries and collecting a little firewood. All night long they whined and were freaked out , but Tom held it together.Tom hopped off the plane after being out in the rain all night with a couple of bad clients and had a big smile on his face. It is just funny how he never let a crazy situation get him down.
