Tommy and Glen 2008

Tommy and Glen by Tommy's star.

From 1995-2007,I still didn't know how to contact Tommy.It was one of the roads you encounter that somewhere had an end to finding what you wanted.I would email Joey dee and he still didn't know where Tommy was or how to reach him,so it became a waiting game.

Then I spotted Glen Glenn,I had heard his music before and saw he was good friends with Tommy.I wrote him a note and asked how to get in contact with Tommy,I told him who i was and told him somewhat of my bond with Tommy,he said"he'd tell Tommy".Well it wasn't long after I got an email with a way to write Tommy.God bless Glen,if I hadn't of asked,I would of never been able to write Tommy again.

Then I met Carol, a very nice lady.she said"i'll tell tommy and see if he'll sign a picture for you".I was in my glory.I sat and wrote Tommy a 5 or 6 page letter, getting caught up on somethings like who past on,mentioning names of people we knew,he remembered me fondly.carol had him sign a picture and sent it to me,it was an old one but I finally had a picture signed by him although I no longer had my wall of fame but still something close to my heart.

Tommy's Birthday was coming up,I gathered pictures from Palm Springs thanks to Carol and Alan,old pictures,pictures from a boxing event I bought off ebay, pictures from an old houston tx dj who interveiwed Tommy in 1958, placed them in a scrapbook,all gathered just for him,the dj was kind enough to send a note as well.I wanted to always do this for Tommy and now I could,I worked on it till late at night and sent it along with a couple of cards, stamps and paper so he could write me and my number so he can call me anytime.

I write tommy now every couple of weeks,I sat one night and did a tape so he could at least hear my voice,our bond has always been there,it'll never go away.

I never heard from Tommy to know if he got the scrapbook I made for him, Thank Goodness for Carol,she asked this past May{2008} and Tommy thought it was beautiful.She sent me new pictures which are now in a new scrapbook for Tommy and some older pictures I found.

Glen went out of his way for me, one day i hope to thank" Mr.everybodies movin",he and Mary his wife have been very kind to me and so has carol,I can't thank them enough

Tommy now gets every letter I write him,I am sure they make him smile and I am sure they hold very dear to him.I still have my memories and I still have a special spot for Tommy,I always will and I still Love him very much.
