Mike,
Tom is not working for the Navy. He is teaching engineering at U of Mississippi. His research is now focused on landmine detection. He and Sharon are quite happy in the small college town they now find themselves.
If Tom does get on the ghetto list or the doppelganger list, then I would suggest that the 'dirty' part be dropped from his name when writing about him or to him if you want to maintain good relations. I would want that for myself you know.
Other subject. Who's going to put on a NY's party?

Some of you know Dirty Tom Muir.
I met a colleague of Dirty Tom last night at a cheese
& wine thing. He is a civilian ex-submariner who
like Tom is in USNavy submarine research. We
mostly chatted about interesting subjects; he also
said that Dirty Tom's recently wed wife (Sharon?)
"had literally saved his life." On inquiry this meant that she
had gotten Dirty Tom to cut down on his booze jones.
Dirty Tom like yours truly has a pee aitch dee.
I couldnt help envy the Dirty Tom's various
postings around the world whereas I had to stay
at home and NOT live in Italy, Monterrey, CA
and currently in inland Mississippi at some Navy.
facility there.
Michael Pastorius with whom I was chatting had
with his wife returned recently from a long posting
in London. He is a tall man with a splendid red
mustache, somewhere over 60 who currently runs
Navy submarine research at UT at the Pickle research
center.
As I had just met a Canadian submariner at a
pre-Christmas party who told me about Canada's
recentl purchase of 4 poorly maintained mothballed
English submarines, Pastorius filled me in on other
aspects of this weird submarine deal.
As for why Canada would need to replace 4
submarines in its fleet, that neither the Canadian
nor Pastorius had any explanation for since
Canada has no known enemies.
As for why the US needs to do cutting edge
submarine development, Pastorius reminded
me that if we stop doing it, we lose the ability
to do it. Use it or lose.
He said that there are 2 four star admirals in
Hawaii who are autonomous of Washington.
They assume a possible Chinese submarine
threat in the future. This may be ridiculously
unlikely from a historical point of view. But
from the viewpoint of keep doing it or you'll
lose it (cutting edge submarine research that
is) it is a slam dunk.
