A moment to thank TC

[Orangeyes]

Sometimes, we take for granted the great work Tom does to make this community special. I was just going through some of the recruiting data base pages and realizing all of the time & effort it takes to do such a comprehensive mapping for us. The Cat has a full time job and is the top man in his field of expertise. He is widely respected among his colleagues, I have witnessed that firsthand. We trade barbs all the time, to outsiders it may look pretty viscous but we know better. I would never say these things in conversation with him because that is just not the way we operate.

Here, here -- hats off to both Tomcat and Orangeyes!

As an out of towner, the insight you both provide is invaluable.

Plus, he's a functional gingerholic and a damn fine golfer.

Agree on the first part...

There are a lot of people that contribute to this site and make it a superb place for the SU fan. That includes the knowledgeable posters and insiders that keep the rest of us informed. But no one would have this as a place to converse if it wasn't for Tomcat, OE, and the other founders & benefactors that created and maintain it. I for one appreciate it every day and think today is a great day to especially honor Tomcat. Thanks for your part in making this a place for all of us!!

And sadly, I am an enabler. Hi, my name is orange79, and I bought Tom a ginger ale at the Boston regional.

agree - thanks Tomcat and thanks Orangeyes

I'd like to thank Tomcat as well. Before joining this world-wide-web community, I thought the only people intersted in the tuba were fat teenaged boys with bad skin. Because of Tomcat, I now know that internets dweebs have a keen interest in the instrument as well (havent met Tom, so i cant confirm whether he also falls into the fat with bad skin category). Anyway, I salute you Tomcat.

More seriously, I seem to recall Tom's description of the raging Genessee River being one of the funnier things I have ever read on these boards. :rolling:

Don't feel bad. His boyish charms turn us all intoo enablers.

I know of no other board with two people as essential as Tom and OE. Thanks to them, not a day goes by w/o me checking in at least once, and usually several times.

BTW, Tom, what's your take on Reed's Ginger Brew?
