“Tom was very professional and an open minded thinker. He was exceptional in brainstorming sessions for magazine ad copy as well as ideas for articles in two of Conklin's quarterly magazines. He would always be open to meet with the art department and get their thoughts on stories and photos regarding articles and collectively work on how to "spin" a story for a certain readership. Tom was a pleasure to work with and the end result deliverables were exceptional because of his open-minded thinking.” May 13, 2008
