Get well soon Tom.

So sorry to here about your injury Tom. Many prayers coming your way Bro.

Ed, I'm glad you were there ........

I just got of the phone with Tom's wife, Jenifer. Tom is going straight into surgery, NOW (9PM) after Dr Dobkin read his CT scan. He will decompress the spinal cord of his herniated cervical discs.The surgeon is the same Doc that fixed Kenny up, so Tom is in very good hands.

I visited Tom just before the scan at 5PM. TomB is tough, has a positive attitude, and is thankful to be alive. . He's lucky Ed and Larry were nearby.

Sending positive vibes and prayers to the entire Backer family. He will be fine.
Wayne Kopit and family

Get healed quick, Tom.
... sending back some of that positive energy you put down here and in your surfing.
