Mike D's 1991 TTM Auto Project

[Zito75]

Tom Runnels lives in Ohio - he coaches in the Rockies organization. His wife is a newscaster in Toledo, OH. You can probably send a card to her so that he can sign it... Send me a PM if you need more info. I can hook you up.

Interesting that all activity on him went silent on SCN in 2010. I wonder if he moved and the address sites/books never found him again?

Possible - I think he was doing some scouting overseas for a while. He's been coaching with the Rox for a while though. I had a few conversations with him during ST from about 2007-10, cool guy...

If I can track the card down again, I may give him a shot. Cool that he's a nice guy to talk to...
