Tom was highly intelligent and loved to tease colleagues.  He didn't understand he sometimes went too far and offended people.   Dan Curzon Brown described him as a "perfectly adjusted person."  I told Tom once, "nothing embarrases you," which he seemed to like.  Tom was at his best during his two years in the early 1980s with the European Division; he rented a house in a German village where he entertained Marylanders including me.  Later Tom visited  me in the U. S.  but wound up telling me not to bother visiting him in Venice, Florida.  For me Tom remains a puzzle.  Sincerely,  John Cabell Breckinridge (Jack) Calbert.
