Tom I hope you read this, although, I left a comment previously, felt I needed to say this; without you knowing it, over the years that I've listen to your show, which as been at least 22 or more years, you've been a mentor, a father, a brother, a cousin, a best friend, a confidant, a motivator, a believer, an educator, a fact finder, a listener, a funds raiser, a shoulder to cry on, a positive image for Blacks, but yet, after being so much to so many people in so many roles over the years on The TJMS, YOU have never been an "Uncle Tom", and that's what makes me proud of you! Much love, blessings and success in whatever God has in store for you in this life.
