Many of you out there either met Tom "Iron Butt" Phelan on his cross country journey years ago, or read about his adventure on-line. I first met Tom on his return from California to New York where he lived before moving to North Carolina back in the late
90's. I've crewed for many of Tom's races, and that was when I met Rita, his wife. I can never find the right words, but I will miss her smiling face.<br>
