I get a few minutes into this conversation and realize Tom was PRETTY CLOSE to a friend Senior Year. I even went to his Graduation Party! But I never knew much about Tom. Now he fills me in on his pressures to succeed on a struggling football team, being a teenage fireman, and his long desire to join the Air Force that almost feels like a story of destiny.
