Your words were a fitting tribute, and the carepages helped us all get by. <BR/><BR/>I will be a poor substitute, but when you're state side we can grab a beer and re-live the memories. <BR/><BR/>It's weird seeing others whom I don't know, such as Chuck - leave messages about dad on your blog. He touched so many in a genuine manner. Hard to believe he's gone. I'll scan my eulogy for you, so you can read what I said. Additionally the services both DC and Omaha were filmed and so we've got those on DVD. <BR/><BR/>Talk soon. <BR/><BR/>StephenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000823728641791312.post-732737337574458942009-02-03T05:28:00.000-08:002009-02-03T05:28:00.000-08:00Hello, writing from Tokyo - this post caught my ey...Hello, writing from Tokyo - this post caught my eye. Are you a native Nebraskan? I am interested in tracking down any Nebraskans in China. Having written for the Daily Nebraskan for several years, your piece grabbed me. <BR/>Please drop a line at<BR/>bryanpeterson98@yahoo.com<BR/>or stop by<BR/>http://emptyhandswornshoes.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000823728641791312.post-73349413958861452692008-12-13T16:03:00.000-08:002008-12-13T16:03:00.000-08:00Sorry to hear about the death of a great friend, J...Sorry to hear about the death of a great friend, Justin. I can't imagine dealing with that kind of thing from such a distance. <BR/>Electronic communication is cold comfort, but keep in touch, old buddy.<BR/><BR/>Be well.pdmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17842836287688640818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000823728641791312.post-80795075258866036832008-12-07T06:59:00.000-08:002008-12-07T06:59:00.000-08:00Justin, Of course I am biased, but this is your be...Justin, Of course I am biased, but this is your best post yet. A tribute to an outstanding journalist and even a better person. If you could share the website location with me, I would love to go read more about Tom from his friends. <BR/><BR/>Too many great memories to share from the good old days - and they truly were the good old days. <BR/><BR/>I think back to those days as a journalist and while I don't necessarily miss the job or the deadlines, I miss the people, I miss the comradarie. I even miss eccentricity of Joe R . . . but not as much. In the past few years I had a few dealings with Tom at USA Today and it was nice to know the big time didn't change him one bit. He was always Tom.<BR/><BR/>I also appreciated your take on the RMN. People told us 25 years ago that newspapers were dying. I didn't believe them. I didn't want to believe them and I never thought they would. Today, I seem to see the grim reaper every day clutching a newspaper in one hand. <BR/><BR/>My best to you, my friend. Take care of yourself. Keep telling your stories. They will help keep Tom's spirit alive. Peace.<BR/><BR/>ChuckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
