Me and Tom

This picture was taken some time during 1966-67. What you have here are a couple of high-school friends who were posing for someone’s mom. I’m not sure where the picture was taken. I got a copy of it in May of 2011. That means I had to wait for about 45 years before I got to see it. That might make me a little upset if not for the fact that I’m just glad to have the picture. This is Tom, a friend who recently passed away. I’m very glad that I got to spend some time with him over the years. We were good friends in high school and roommates in college. He would eventually go to Albuquerque to work at Sandia Labs. I stayed in Oklahoma to be a computer grunt. The last time I saw Tom was a couple of weeks before he passed. God have mercy on his soul.
