Remembering Tom Brown...

My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Tom Brown.

Tom was the former Mayor of Oak Ridge and I considered him a friend. I met Tom when he ran for County Commissioner in 1998. While he lost that campaign, he went on to become Mayor and represented that area of the county well. I spoke with Tom about a month ago related to the Horse Show in Oak Ridge. We had a pleasant conversation and I let him know how much I appreciated his leadership over the last several years.

Let's hope there will be more elected officials like Tom Brown....
