I know he's mostly a west coast basketball player, college at Saint Mary's (Calif.) and pro with the Warriors. Still, Tome Meschery's a remarkable fellow. As a young lawyer in Seattle I had the pleasure of watching him play (with our Jeff Mullins) against the Sonics. He was one tough hombre on a very good Warriors team.

There have been two recent stories, one about him (http://www.contracostatimes.com/columns/ci_11426968) and the other about a Saint Mary's kid who broke Tom's school rebound record (http://www.mercurynews.com/sports/ci_11411547) (dunno if that would be true if Meschery had been allowed the four years permitted now.)

Meschery is one of the student athletes who, as a adult, really made a difference in peoples' lives: Poet/author; coach, teacher. Not many NCAA basketball players can say all that.
