I met Tom, Mel, and the kids at the Atlantic City show a few years ago -
Gene has it right. And I must say that the girls, ages 16 and 18 at the
time, were the two most impressive teenagers I have ever met. They had their
own lectures at the show, and were on their own after Tom introduced them -
he left the room. They had no trouble holding the attention of a adult
audience whose average age was well over twice their own, They were the
experts, and the audience knew it.
