Does anyone on The List know "Tom O'Toole"  ?
I notice that just about all the photos were placed on that website by Tom
O'Toole in 2010 or 2011. I thought Tom O'Toole was no longer with us. He
used to run the "O'Toole Lines" model traction business out of his house in
Richmond Heights, OH. Is he still around?
