Johnson Space Center Memorial Tree

NASA plants a tree in memory of individuals who have made noteworthy contributions to the space program approved by center management. A Memorial tree (Live Oak) with a trunk 3" or greater will be planted at JSC (Johnson Space Center Houston) in memory of Tom. This will occur in the fall of 2008 between October and February. Also a memorial marker with Tom's name.

Tom's high school Friend suggested this and Tom's Sister followed up. More information on exact location and directions to visit this memorial are coming soon.

The Art Alliance Center at Clear Lake

The Art Alliance Center is located across the street from NASA (JSC). A memorial brick has been purchased and placed beside the garden bench in front of the Art Alliance Center at Clear Lake in memory of Tom. Please visit the Art Center and spend some time enjoying local Clear Lake Art and rest on the park bench as well.

Tom's Trees

This painting is an open spacious abstract landscape of Texas black oaks. It has a very relaxing, warm, strong confident feeling and also creates an aura of freedom. This painting is named after the Artist's Brother Tom, who passed away in August of 2007. He was a Mechanical Engineer and worked for NASA contractors at the Johnson Space Center in Clear Lake City, Texas. He was awarded the NASA Snoopy Award. This is a life time achievement award given by the Astronauts on STS shuttle missions. He also built hardware that was a part of Space Station. He loved the Texas outdoors with camping, hunting and the wide open space. He was a fantastic Brother and a great man. This art is available for purchase through Bentley Publishing Group.

Check out Suicide.org website Suicide is most often caused by depression. Depression has many sources. Some chronic illness (especially illness that is untreatable and terminal) can cause depression. If you read and learn about Pick's you can see that there is no treatment or cure for Pick's. It can only be diagnosed and confirmed after death. Pick's Disease is an ongoing degenerative illness that causes brain cells to die and muscles to stop working, including digestive muscles. There is no known way to slow or stop the degenerative process. At least not in this life time. But we could work toward more science and more options for treating Pick's and for understanding and treating the many other causes of depression. Make a contribution to research and new science. Depression is an illness. Sometimes a secondary illness. Let's stop the suicide stigma. Please click, read and learn! http://www.suicide.org/suicide-causes.html
