Tom lives with his wife, Lori, in the Sierra Nevadas where he practices as a professional
geologist for the United States Forest Service. Lori works within the health and education industries.
Our friend, Friederike, is our coach and mentor in all things Magyar agar. She and her family live on
the Bodensee near the German/Swiss border. Our dear friend, Marianne, lives with her family near
Budapest, Hungary. Marianne is very knowledgeable about the MA and she translates my German e-mail
into Hungarian so that our mentor, Andrea Lugosi, can keep us on the straight and narrow. Andrea also
lives with her family near Budapest where she works in the agricultural industry.
