Comments:

After fifty-some years in Oregon (after Alaska), Pat and I have moved to Arizona. LOVE IT HERE!!

My memoir "On Call in the Arctic" became an Amazon #1 bestseller, and I'm so excited to report that it is currently in Hollywood being pitched for film. Hollywood is a hard nut to crack, but I always believed the only guarantee in life nothing was going to happen was if you didn't try, so I'll never give up trying. Please keep an eye on my website, ThomasJSims.com, as hopefully I'll have a novel coming out before long and the launch will be announced there. Take care - and stay healthy!

School Story:

Probably my fondest memory is Leadership Class taught by Dr. Baca. His encouragement helped me crack the shell I'd built around myself since my parent's divorce and struggles I had trying to deal with drug problems of one of my brothers.

Hi Paul. Just had to share something funny with you. I'm putting final revisions on my new novel titled "Margin of Error" and I forgot I named one of my characters Paul Smith. He's not a major character, and he's not a 'bad guy' either. In fact - he's one of the few characters in the book who doesn't end up DEAD!! Ha. Just thought you'd like to know you are going down in literary history! You'll need to read the book to find out more.

Hey ole buddy! Have a great one. You sure look good in your photos and that's wonderful to see. I'll be catching up with you in a few weeks. Hope I live long enough to get my next book out. Take care.

Hey Ben. Here's wishing you a happy birthday. We are all getting a bit older, so make every day count! Thanks for your AF service. You probably aren't aware I was in the USPHS in Alaska which, at the time, was a division of the Coast Guard. Makes us happy to have served our country, right?! Have a good one. Tom
