In the first picture, Richard on the right is shaking hands with Ike Leggett, our County Executive. In the second picture, I am standing on the left with DeBora King. (edited to correct this--I am bad with left-right orientation and had Richard on the left in the picture with Mr. Leggett!)

Today our local community held a 40th anniversary celebration, and as part of that they honored Thomas's memory. Herman Taylor, our delegate to the Maryland Assembly, read a citation, and a trumpeter played Taps in the courtyard of Page Elementary School where Thomas went to 4th and 5th grades. The person who originated the idea of doing this is DeBora King, the current president of the Page PTA. It was beautifully done, and we are grateful to the Tamarack Triangle Civic Association for this honor.
