A homage to Tom- a letter he wrote to Sierra in 1990

[Alistair]

I can't copy the text, but from here: http://sierra.gracenroark.net/index.php?pr=Catalogs
Download: Sierra News Magazine, Volume 3 Number 1, Spring 1990 edition to see a letter written by our very own Tom, published on page 39. My wife spotted it in my collection. It's kinda inspirational.

(Not to mention, the website kicks ass too!)

Regards,

Michigan, eh?

Whereabouts, Tom?  (I'm originally from the Flint/Saginaw area.)


...And yes, Andy's site doth kicketh much ass.

Geez, I forgot all about that letter.

I'm originally from the far-west side of Detroit, near the Dearborn Heights border.  Lived in the the area (Detroit, Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, Farmington, Westland, etc.) for 37 years, then moved to the northern Chicago area to be with my current wife, Dianne.  We're now living in the Green Bay, Wisconsin area.

I just got back from a trip to the Detroit area, last night; I spent a couple of weeks back home visiting my family.  I miss the motor city with a passion...

Oops Sorry guys.

As well as that SQ4 difference, there's a RadioShack excerpt he has on there that has a "Hero's Quest II" box!

Tom, you still looking for a 2400bps modem? I got one right here, it's a real bargain! only 95 bucks... 

Seriously, though, that letter really touched me.
