In one word, Tom was a man who gave. He gave much to his family, friends, work, and to his colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>Tom was a strategic thinker, a visionary who was brilliant, innovative and creative. As such, he contributed much to the development of MEDEX, especially in the field of health training. He generously gave his knowledge, his expertise and his skills.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was also a serious bird-watcher and made many contributions to the field of ornithology.<\/p>\n<p>Tom changed the thinking and indeed the lives of so many of his colleagues and students, who he touched with his inspired teaching, as well as the lives of his friends and love ones.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Seattle Class 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":221,"featured_media":0,"parent":401,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3459","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/221"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3459"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3459\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16189,"href":"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3459\/revisions\/16189"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
