I met Tom and spending a little time over a few days with him. He showed me the inside of his trailer which was covered with multi colored duct tape. Definitely a creative form of artwork. He also showed me his solar panels he used to power the inside and how they worked. I really enjoyed the time I spent with him. Tom was a fascinating man and a gentleman. He will be missed.
