Fast forward 42 years to 2018. Tom has had an impressive woodworking career and is on our campus as a Visiting Artist. He decides on the spur of the moment to make a quick trip to New Hampshire to visit his mentor, who is closing up shop. When he gets there, Jere surprises him by saying, “Tom, you know I’ve got your chair.” And sure enough, there it is in the corner of the shop: dusty, forlorn, in need of minor repairs, but gloriously whole.
