The next story up for the 'EAN year in review' is called
'Truck Stop Tom'
Who can forgot the amazing story of Tom? Tom is the beloved co-pilot of an OTR truck driver named David, and their home base is in Virginia. During a trip through Erie early this summer, Tom escaped at the Travel Centers of America truck stop in Harborcreek. Many networkers shared his photo and worried for Tom's well bein...g. As you may know, it is a high traffic area, surrounded by open areas and woods. David had to stop his search and sadly leave Tom's last seen area, but the word got out. We had networkers on the case, and all the employees of TA were keeping an eye out for Tom. After several days of no sightings of Tom, an employee in housekeeping found Tom hiding under an air conditioning unit! It was truly a miracle to find him safe, although very scared and hungry. They were able to contact Tom's very happy and very relieved family in Virginia to give them the good news! In fact, Victoria from TA happened to have a trip planned, and offered to drive Tom part of the way to meet David's wife to pick up Tom!
This is an amazing outcome, and shows that networking and compassion make a big impact! To the employees of TA who helped Tom get back home, we thank you for going above and beyond to help. You are heroes!
