Donor & Contributor Tom's Fun Time Facts
Physical Description: Donor Tom, in addition to his donations has been a long time advocate of the free shirt archive and a very good friend. Still, I was unprepared and touched when he sent me an analysis of the donations to the free shirt archive in calendar time. Here are his findings.

Donor & Contributor Tom's Plea
"I am not advocating that donations be withheld until such time, but the calendar is not there for aesthetic purposes only people! Look first at what you give, then when you give it. There are many dates untouched!"
