Tom is not a person that toots his own horn. I personally would like to thank him for arranging the reprint of the directory. I learned so much from it. Now hopefully the Historical Society will consider a reprint of the 1885 History. PLEASE!!! Now I will probably be in trouble for giving Tom this recognition, but he deserves it as far as I am concerned.
