Yes, I am tall.
I am actually 6’4” and thin which accents the fact.
(I avoid vertical strips on clothing and try to wear horizontal, but it doesn’t seem to help much)
Why would I choose this as my blogging site name? Just because of a couple of memories…
-I had a good friend in college that took sign language and my sign name was the letter T raised above her head.
-I recently went to visit my cousin's 4th grade classroom. As soon as I walked in the door, this little girl piped up: “Oh my goodness, he’s tall! he’s taller than Mt. Everest.” So for the rest of the day I was Mr. Tall and by the end of the day all the little girls had a crush on me.
So... who is Mr. Tall?
My name is Tom Glass. I grew up in Uruguay, South America; my parents have been missionaries there for the past 27 years. I graduated from BJ in 2003 with a business degree. And now, I live and work in Greenville and attend North Hills Community Church. (No personal bias here… but North Hills is the best!)
I love… Jesus, family, church, friends, teens, teaching children, pottery/art, tea, coffee, books, and photography…

Posted by: gabe at November 16, 2004 08:42 AMhmm, you weren't one of my english 102 students, were you tom? i believe i recall having a tom glass who was tall... but perhaps there was more than one? just curious.
Posted by: melanie at November 16, 2004 01:04 PMHaha, I'm the opposite of you...I try to wear vertical strips. I should name my blog Miss Short :)
Posted by: Dana at November 16, 2004 02:00 PMMelanie, yes, I was in your english 102 tutorial class. It took me a moment to realize this because we had to call you Ms. Suydam. Sorry for any heartache that we put you through :)
Dana, lol!
And thank you everyone else...
Posted by: Tom at November 16, 2004 06:43 PMoh, i'm glad i know now. yes, i remember you well.
i thought the "melanie" might be a bit confusing, but i sure wasn't going to write ms. suydam there! :o) i try to avoid that as much as possible. (unless i'm at the bank or something!)
