Another Tom Dunlap

[Tom Dunlap]

Google has a search feature that will comb through media and return links to whatever criteria you desire. I have several searches including ones for Treebuzz and my name.

Over the years I've found out about the other TDs. There is a funny story about one and now a connection to another.

On one trip to Wales to visit with Paolo Bavaresco and his wife we went out to dinner with another couple. While we were talking the other couple mentioned that they had been to visit a friend in Sun City AZ. Later in the meal my last name came into the conversation. Introductions are generally just first names anyway. When they heard my name they said that their friend in AZ was named Tom Dunlap. My reply was...Oh...the realtor? Everyone stopped eating and looked at me. What?! How did I know?! Google search.

Small world...but I don't want to rake it!

Another TD writes a column for the Redding CA newspaper. Over the years I've read his columns a few times. He wrote a cat related column a while ago. A couple of weeks ago I had a cat rescue which worked out very well. I wrote to TD in Redding and now--->

I'm the one who does trees...and cat rescues

That's a great story Tom!

To us climbers though, I'll quote "The Highlander, There can be only one". You're the man - Tom Dunlap.

Outstanding! Well done Tom Dunlap. Witty fellow, "That Tom is the one up in a tree and this Tom is the one that isn't. Getting high is not my thing." lol I've googled my name, Robert Douglass, there sure is a lot of us out there. The real me didn't even appear in the white pages. Oh well, fame will have to wait for another lifetime for me, lol.

Funny story there Tom. STIHL tracks my activities with Google alerts. They told me that they get plenty of info about a MC that is a pro Rugby player and one MC that is a pro skateboarder. It is funny to check them out.

Cool, Trevor. Douglass is a Scottish name. I've been there and talked to someone about the name. The two s'es in Galic are really to ff's like symbols that are pronounced like s sort of. Some people keep the double s some drop it.
