Daredevil Thomas met every challenge from his third birthday until his eighteenth. Yeah, at three, he climbed kitchen cabinets—not life-threatening. Just a start.
Fourteen? Chugged rum while friends egged him on. One! Two! Three! Go! Tommy! Go!
At eighteen, he met his final challenge when he loaded a rusty metal rock-mining sleigh on his best friend’s logging truck, pulled it to the top of Lucky Hill, jumped inside, and with a loud YYYEEEEHHHAAA! rocked down the mountain straight into a tree.
Now the sleigh rests beside the school, covered with the names of tearful friends graffitied on the sides.
