Hey Ed
I bet you he bought you a beer or three!
That's what we Aussies do!
Peter, if Tom makes it up as far as Montreal Canada he has a bed to stay.
Just let me know. It would be a pleasure

OK...Change of Plans...Tom is now settled with his new arrangements that have been changed. June 6th to August 27th
Destination is Minnesota, 2 1/2 hours south of Minneapolos at a fabulous camp. Camp Lincoln-Lake Hubert
He will be the Baseball coordinator there.
After that he and his good friend Michael will travel around the states.
They hope to travel to New York Down the East coast and various states back to Chicago.
Tom and Michael both have 12 month Visas and hope to find some work whilst they are over there. Michael is 18 and Tom is 19.
Tom is more than happy to split his travel arrangements from Michael should he find other opportunities as Michael has relatives in Minneapolos.
regards
Peter :-)
Oh Boy, He is gonna have himself so much fun......Told him to steer clear of a couple of my lady friends in Vegas B-)

If Tom isn't burnt out on the awards industry, give the guys a map of our forum members' businesses. Another set of hands is always welcome. :-)

Peter,
If the camp is 2½ hours south of Minneapolis, then David T. is just a few more hours south, then Zona & Jim are also near there and then I am 3 hours south of them........... Tom can just make a trip straight south on I-35 and catch a job at all of the award shops and finish up in Dallas with The Brewers. Boy, am I a tour director or what????? (devil) I'm sure all of the people mentioned could learn from him as well him from them. With all that work lined up, I don't know if he would have time to sightsee. :O

Peter,
If they want to schedule NY around XMAS we can use them. I'll try to find some college kids they can bunk with. If they want to go to Philly they can do that at any time and bunk at our house.

Peter,
It's kind of like all 3 of my girls......they each worked for me while in their teens for 1 summer. They all had the same reaction. "Well, I don't know what I want to do when I grow up...... but I do know I don't want to work in the awards industry" :S
Oh well, that just leaves more customers for me :P
... and no fighting for dad's business when I go the the big trophy cup in the sky!

Peter - If Tom and his friend make a swing south we will be more than happy to put them up for as long as they would want to stay. I have two empty bedrooms and bath down stairs. My college age kids would see to it that they would have fun.
Peter one thing you must do is rent the movie - "Fargo" - it will give you and Tom an idea of the local accents. I love the accents from that area -I have some good friends from that part of the US

Some more info re the Boys :
Tom and Michael;
Both have sales skills : Think about the charm of an Aussie salesperson ! We've got the coolest accent
Both have Photography skills, having worked as Photographers for Kathys sisters Photography Company.
Both have international Drivers licences.
Both are quick learners and will take any work.
Both are as funny as !
Michael has worked as a male model ( a tall good looker ) His Uncle is a movie producer in Minneapolos and has made some really big Movies
( will find out which ones if you like )
Tom is a very fit sports jock, Football ,Baseball, Wrestling, Gaelic Football
and devastatingly handsome...( like his Dad ).
They intend to do the Camp America thingy, then head to New York, Go up to Canada, back down the East Coast of the USA, cross the Country, then go up the West Coast. They are over there for 6 months. ( In other words whereever they can or where they may be needed or where they can get accomodation and work )
I'd like to thank those that have offered various facilities so far , should anyone require any assistance by these bright young Aussie guys, please email or PM me with phone numbers or contact details.
I can then pass these on to Tom and Michael who will call or PM or Email to touch base so you can get to know them and tee things up as to where you are etc.
They are totally open to where they go..
Any help would be appreciated and I hope I am not being too presumptious in my request.. :-)

You say the guys will be coming to the West Coast.
Tell them there will be serious consequences, if they don't make arrangements to meet up with myself and my family. :-)
I'm a native Southern Californian and I'll make sure they see all the places of high import.
