Though Tom never made it to the moon, his journey through life took him to places just as unique. But not even the prestige of working in the White House and the CIA could take away Tom's disillusionment and despair when he loses the most important person in his life.

Kirkman—White House artist, CIA spy, inventor, and Amish man (1934-2018).
