JUN 2013: Entry JUL 2013: Terrie Masters reports that Tom Freeman passed away on July 21, 2013. Says Terrie: " I have a phone message from Joan Freeman telling me that Tom passed away last night. I have not yet been able to reach her, and will continue to try. We were very close friends for such a long time. I am deeply saddened.Tom developed Parkinson's some years ago, and lost many of his usual pleasures. Primarily the computer as he was unable to function between his eyes and fingers. Tom was a pediatrician, and had to stop his greatest joy, helping children. Walking and talking were very difficult and much of his pleasures were difficult. Those who came to know him, enjoyed the man Tom Freeman was. AUG 2013: Entry SEP 2013: Paolo Bagnaresi, the author who gave
