<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Aho,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I never had the opportunity to meet
Tom in person but he was always generous in sharing his thoughts and resources
with me through the years.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I did not know his background and relationships
with the Ponca. Reading his obituary gave me pause as aspects of it seem
to mirror my own experiences as an adopt kid.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Tom will be sorely missed.</font>
