HOW THOMAS GOT INVOLVED

One day, maybe sometime in mid-January, 1998, Thomas was minding his apolitical business in the Emerald City, when he got a message from David Crockett Williams. Thomas returned David's call, and David informed him that the DoE was holding a public meeting to hear comments on DoE's proposed Comprehensive National Energy Strategy (CNES). David related his experience at a CNES public hearing in California, and suggested that Thomas attend a similar one scheduled for February 19th in the capitol, and put in a pitch for infinite energy.

Over the years his involvement with various "Peace Marches" repeatedly brought David to DC. Owing to his static position outside the presidential palace, sometime around 1986 Thomas first met David. Favorably impressed both with David's stated personal goals and steadfast, active commitment to the ideal to benefiting all humanity, over the years Thomas developed considerable respect for David, as a person.
