From Ann McGonigal

I can not believe we have been friends for 22 years! Yep, 22 years. A lot has changed since then, but through it all, we have kept in touch and each time I see you, it’s like I just saw you the day before. We met our freshman year at Kutztown, I believe it was the 3 hour drawling lab in the basement of Old Stain, I mean, Old Main. It’s amazing we actually met, as my attendance lacked consistency, especially the Friday classes, 3-6pm when happy hour awaited SOMEWHERE. But I’m sure you made EVERY single class as you were as determined then, as you are now.

So when we met, gas was about 90 cents a gallon, the stock market had just crashed, sound familiar? Crack was making its debut, as well as Guns N’ Roses, and Fox Network~ The Simpsons! We were young (definitely), we were innocent (sort of) and we were in the middle of no where USA!

So here we are several states and children later, and although our contact is sporadic, I still consider you a very close friend, with memories of my youth that I will cherish forever! So I raise a glass for you today, Tom; to health, happiness and many more years of friendship! Hear! Hear!
