Tom Van Dyke – Co-Blogger, Friend, and Mentor

Tom Van Dyke – Co-Blogger, Friend, and Mentor

I just found out from mutual friends that Tom Van Dyke passed away last November. We never met in person, and we only had occasion to talk by telephone a few times. Our friendship was such that we communicated over New Reform Club and by a good many e-mail contacts.

Tom was a patriot. He was also my friend, and a source of encouragement. He encouraged me to write and to blog, and in particular, to do so, at New Reform Club. I have done that, and I hope to continue to do so. In some ways, Tom was a mentor. I will miss him—I am sure others will too.
