I met coach Thome at the boys basketball game last night. Expect to see a full interview in the print Observer sometime this spring.

In our brief conversation I did learn a couple things:
*He's very excited about the job.
*He will begin working inside the school this fall
*No, he is no relation to Jim Thome
*In fact, his name is pronounced differently. It rhymes with "home". So we have another Ed Favre/Brett Favre situation.
