                                                        One of the things I'm impressed with is how well-informed people are. To that end, I thought I'd give a platform to..., well... anyone, I guess. The first, is a favorite contributor Here's his first, of what I hope will be, a regular presence on TomServations. -- Take a read of Ralph Gauthier... (As always, your comments are welcome, AND WANTED.)

                                                        Alexa Elkington, -- Las Vegas, Nevada...

                                                        Picture
                                                        I've known Alexa for five+  years and have aways been impressed with her "fresh-eyes" approach to life. She seems to have a new way of looking at things. -- She's a mom, a wife, a 'thinker', a 'doer'... AND... a professional / accredited Marriage and Family Therapist. I know her more as one of the most interesting people I've ever met. -- Read her first column... then sit back and think about it a little; -- she certainly has a point(s?)

                                                        Ralph Gauthier, -- Omaha, Nebraska...

                                                        Picture
                                                        I've followed Ralph for more than 16 years; in that time, he's amused me, bemused me, and often educated me.

                                                        See what you think... he keeps getting better and better to me...



                                                        Steve Spain, -- Omaha, Nebraska...

                                                        Picture
                                                        I met Steve in 1981, he's truly a nice guy, then and now. More importantly, he's matured into an observant, insightful, 'participant-in-life'. I like reading his work, and hope you do too.

                                                        Mike Gill, -- Fresno, California...

                                                        Picture
                                                        I met Mike in Las Vegas, he was a media consultant, trying to sell me advertising; - and stood me up twice for lunch. Why does that matter? Because he's tenacious, and wouldn't give up. We eventually met, and have enjoyed each other's friendship ever since; and I always liked his viewpoint(s) - See what you think...
