Good luck on your speech. I echo Graham's sentiments that I do not know much of the history of Tom's as I only visited from time to time. Yes after the passing of Tom I am sure it is different. Bubba is right that it is still going to the best of my knowledge. I did like the idea of it being a place for all men's garments that do not fit the "norm" of trousers. It just seemed to get hi-jacked, and not just with threads.
