A few times I had thought of asking if you and the late General were in any way related, Tom. Guess I got the answer, but not in a way that I had hoped.

I never met GEN Odom, although I have read some of his writings and made a special point of watching his TV appearances and taking note of what he had to say. A very impressive, in fact formidable, man and mind. We are rather the worse for his departure.
