He served as JACC executive secretary and jumped at the chance to be editor of the Community College Journalist magazine. He was a regular at Morro Bay nearly 30 years after he last advised the student newspaper at Southwestern, although he did teach journalism classes and advise the campus magazine in the post-Devore years. Tom devoted endless hours to other causes in journalism education, too. Tom was a mainstay on that committee, along with Art Margosian of Fresno State, Warren Mack of De Anza, Tom Nelson of Pepperdine and later Cerritos, Tom Kramer of Pierce, Jack Beisner of CNPA, and myself. There were other members over the years, but those are the ones I remember being there most if not all of the time.
Art is gone.
And Tom Nelson. And now Tom Pasqua. At Morro Bay this year, I had dinner with Tom Kramer. I have many other memories of Tom Pasqua. Then there are all the memories outside of journalism education.
