There are many instances of Tod’s crashing into things in his early years. I remember him dashing down the stairs and tumbling the last half of the way many times. And many bicycle crashes. His sister Maureen’s reminder of a particular incident, I copy and paste from her email and allow her statement to tell the story. Any details you like can be conjured up in your imagination: ”...don’t forget about Tod yelling “Cowabunga” at the top of the steps in Glen Ellyn and jumping down to the bottom and crashing into the table…”

Tod’s loving mom,
