Joanna, just a note to let the family know that Tom was very respected in the crude oil Purchasing, Trading and Transportation group and he will be missed. I had some good visits with Tom in Midland Texas, and had the opportunity to work a deal with him when I was at Phillips and Tom was with a company that I think was in the Kansas City area, it may have been Farmland Industries. I have seen some e-mails from the Crude Oil Group expressing their sympathy and respect for Tom. I remember Tom and I laughing that both of our families lived a 1/2 mile apart in Elk County Kansas and my older brothers and sisters spent a lot of time with his Father, Uncles and Aunt, and Tom and I met in Midland Texas, of all places. It is a small world.
