Tom was definitely the "Enabler in Chief". There are few of us that didn't
get something from him. In the peak year, he probably moved half of the OM
gear worldwide.
But we had other enablers rise up and keep the wheels of OM'dom greased.
Jim, Wayne, Bill, Joel come to mind. But Tom was definitely in a league of
his own. Last time we all got together he did admit to kinda going over the
top. We all remember the day when he got busted by his wife when she was
finally healthy enough to make it up into his loft and saw the hundreds of
OM items spread out everywhere. She thought all those boxes coming and
going had to do with his work-at-home job. BUSTED! That took some
'splaining.
The legends of the OM list.
