The Banquet: On the evening of October 26, there will be a banquet and ceremony to honour tom. David Dodge, the Chancellor of Queen's University, will serve as master of ceremonies for the evening. A number of colleagues who have worked closely with Tom over the years, at Queen's and elsewhere, will offer tributes and, hopefully, some gentle roasting of our honouree.
