Tom, adventures and photos

Even at a young age, Tombo, was always exploring, climbing mountains and getting into mischief. I've uploaded a few images of him that demonstrate that.

He had many adventures that involved getting in trouble for things he didn't do (but was associated with so much trouble people assumed it was him). He never intended to get into a mess, but was extremely curious about how things worked and why, that he took things apart and sometime couldn't put them back together (good thing he went to school to become an engineer). He was always game to try something knew and was a good calculated risk taker, maybe less so as he got older (or more calculating?).

He was also pretty patient as you see (he had three girls, I don't think he had a choice). Growing up the middle child of three and the only boy, he learned pretty quickly not to mess with his older sister and too be patient with his younger one. Although he often got both of them into trouble as well.

They all shared a love of photography, but especially my dad (I have four of his old cameras, which are in extremely good condition). Not only was he pretty good at being the model (where he crafted a pretty goofy smile), but also took many of the photos in the several photo albums we have of his childhood. Mostly he took slide photos, of the places, and mountains he loved to visit and explore.
