Hi there Father Tom. It has been to long since we talked. I have been working and living in Seattle since 1985. I always tell the story every Thanksgiving about what happened when you were suppose to pick me up at Gallaudet University and take me to Kitty and George's home in central Virginia. You picked a totally Deaf guy (Jim Arpin) who was waiting for some one to take him to their place for Thanksgiving dinner. You drove down 125 miles all the way to Kitty and Georges house and when you arrived there, Kitty said "That's not Bob". I don't know what you were thinking then but you drove all the way back and dropped Jim back off at Gallaudet and picked the real me up and drove back to Kitty and George's. That was the only time I had two Thanksgivings on the same day. I love telling that story every year at Thanksgiving. It brings out the real spirit of what Thanksgiving truly means. Drop me a line when you can. I would love to hear from you again.
