I remember that interview like it was yesterday. It was done by Lester Holt. I am traveling from London to Chicago today with my wife to join up with my 2 boys, stepdaughter and my beautiful granddaughter to watch the Bears -Giants game in the United Suite. ( Thank you Mileage plus exclusives!) Heading to Hawaii Wednesday for my 22nd consecutive Thanksgiving there. Quick trip. I take the red eye home to Newark on Saturday night than head back to Australia Sunday night for a Tuesday afternoon Charity event for Children’s Cancer. It’s called Bailey’s Day. Please feel free to go online and look it up. Bailey was my best friends son who died of brain cancer at the age of 2 about 15 years ago. Every year I donate the miles to auction off 4-5 round trip business class tickets for 2 international. It raises a lot of money. It is an awesome event held the first Tuesday of December every year. There is a golf outing in the morning. Please feel free to join me! Maybe even donate yourself. Happy Thanksgiving to all. We all have so much to be grateful for.
Hiya Tom, hopefully see you at Baileys Day in Mordialloc! Cheers, The wodlands is in great shape this spring

Wow! I have been following your story, and I continue to be in awe. 4 million PQM in a year: tip of the hat to you, good sir! Hopefully I can cross my next MM threshold soon. And, here's hoping to run into you aboard United Polaris soon!

Tom, it was great meeting you in the LHR GS lounge a few minutes ago. BTW, my wife couldn't understand why I was so excited to shake your hand. She said you just look like a normal guy. Happy holidays!
Happy holidays!
