Tom is how old? (Hint: it started 12-17-64)

Many happy returns to Tom - it has been a great ride so far and we all hope it continues for a long time still. The whole family has really leaned on him for the past 15 or so years for their ski gear and we all appreciate his efforts. As you will see from the pictures, skiing and family have played a big part in his life so far so why change now? As the youngest sibling he always had someone there to help him along the way and now he is doing the same thing with the youngsters and those of us dottering along toward the sunset. How about a shout out for Tom and a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

  3. "Thomas, alles Gute zum Geburtstag!"

    I've either wished TD a Happy Birthday, or I've ordered some pickled pig stomach.

    Tom, your birthday present will be dropped off at the store as soon as school is out.

  4. Happy Birthday Tom!! Thanks for all the hookups, Clark and I always look fresh on the mountain because of you. Also I'm wondering if swimsuits were not invented, or my dad just liked wearing cut off jeans, and you liked wearing some sort of speedo at the Lake !
