Do you happen to know if Tom is still involved in the hobby?

Val, I'm sad to report that Tom passed away several years ago. We were great friends, and though I didn't see him often, we spoke on the phone a lot. At some point, he decided to sell all his stuff and pull back from the hobby to devote more time to his growing family, and I think he was happier for it. We are the beneficiaries of his passion for all things Senators, though, and his checklist book represents years of work. Tom was a wonderful man and a great hobbyist while he was involved. I miss him a lot.
