It was a pleasure working under Tom as an intern for a few semesters during my days at @ValpoU. You couldn't ask to share an office with a nicer, more genuine human being. Chicago will miss you, Tom! Enjoy retirement 😎

Okay, @Vikings fans... This one's for you!

I was blessed with the opportunity to meet former Vikings and @Seahawks WR @nateburleson at the East-West #shrinebowl in Las Vegas last week. He spent his time talking to as many Shriners as he could and is all around a great guy!

BREAKING: Queen Elizabeth II has died, Buckingham Palace says. Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, and a rock of stability over more than seven decades, was 96.

Elizabeth was on the throne as the U.K. rebuilt from war, and both entered and left the E.U. https://t.co/GhOpxV9ggc
