Tom's brother was my creative writing teacher many years ago when I took a few classes at Community College of Vermont in Brattleboro. He was pretty funny, sold cars during the day.

He did tell a funny story about his brother in the 70's being in NYC with a sample case trying to sell his stuff to some retailers or something. He gets accosted on the subway in the wrong part of town and the guys are asking him "what's in the case, man?"

Without missing a beat Tom opens the case and shows them the samples.
"Wow! you work for Tom?"
"I am Tom."
"NO Shit, man we love your toothpaste..."

His brother said "Knowing Tom he probably ended up selling them a bunch of toothpaste.
