If you’ve read MC Press Online, formerly Midrange Computing magazine, you likely fondly remember author Thomas M. Stockwell. His decades of commentary and analysis on a wide variety of industry-relevant topics made him a favorite of readers.

When Tom decided to semi-retire, he stepped out of the IBM arena and became a reporter for a local newspaper in his hometown of St. Helena in California’s beautiful Napa Valley. On September 28, 2020, Tom wasn’t reporting news; instead he became part of the news when his home, along with many others, was burned to the ground by what is known as the Glass Fire.
