Tom

The Alberton Papers, Vol. V, #XV
By Dick Darne 2-5-08
This week I will use my space to shamelessly promote a good cause. My friend, Tom wheeler, who has been one of the mainstays of the Alberton area for many, many years, has been quite sick lately. He had to be transported to Seattle for medical help and incurred quite a few expenses not covered by insurance. I have known Tom for almost 30 years and have found him to be very generous with his time and money when someone was in need. anyone else who has known him for any time will attest to his willingness to step up and help. He is also one of our unsung heroes of Alberton and Mineral county. You name it and he has served on it. When things break, like as not, he had a hand in fixing it. He has always been a good advisor on local government matters. In short, enough platitudes, it’s time for the rest of us to help him.
This Sunday, Feb.10, at the Alberton elementary cafeteria, from 3:30 to 5:30, there will be a fund raiser for Tom. There will be a potluck dinner, silent auction and music by the Gravely Mountain Boys.
It’s time for the rest of us to step up and help, so be there! dd
