This one is truly sad for different reasons. Two of which are in the photo above. Our fellow classmate Tom Moorman passed away on April 7, 2011 of an apparent heart attack. At the moment this is all the information I have. As more details are made available I will post them here. And yes, that is Sherri Gerdel in the photo above with Tom taken in January of this year. They look so happy together, don't they?
