As Tony got into and out of trouble, I found myself rooting for him. The more I read, the more I knew I wanted to meet him.- Donna Poole Stetson, EducatorTony's story reads smoothly and would make a good movie - personal achievement despite numerous obstacles, the military connection, the drive to be successful while possessing a wild side, volatile family interaction, elements of the human condition . . . and much more. Everyone can relate to Tony's story on some level.- Ben Maxwell, Retired Secondary Teacher and AdministratorI was inspired and very impressed with Tony's journey. It was amusing to read how much trouble one person could actually get into and still accomplish all that he did. Tony will undoubtedly inspire any young person to take control of his or her destiny.- Janet Puglisi, Manager/AdministratorTony is a true Horatio Alger story of a young man who in his youth made some wrong choices. It speaks of a man's determination to fight back and clean the slate through fierce hard work. It shows the rise from the depths of darkness to the light of success.- Frank Lefty Pignone, Stoneham, MassachusettsI was a student of Tom White's Business class for years. What kept me and the others coming back to his class was to listen to the stories he told about Tony and his long association with Japan. His first hand knowledge of Tony, combined with his understanding of the Japanese people and culture made the stories all the more interesting. The truth is, we all wondered if Tony and Tom were one and the same.- Hideo Oshima, All Nippon Airways, Tokyo, Japan
