My biggest apologies Tom. I was in line waiting to get out of work
(serurity is very tough here!) and it dawned on me I left you out.
To all - We all know Tom and his famous silver 2L. At Applebees we had to
supply Tom with crayons and a kids menu so he could connect the dots. He is
very good at it! He made an apple into a SEROC logo - what a hoot!!
