Hello, my high school math teacher and long-time family friend, Tom Beveridge, and his wife, Joanna, lost their beloved home in the Pack Fire on Gregory Lane. Thankfully, both were out of town when the fire hit, or crews probably would have had a difficult time getting Beveridge out of his beloved home that they built in 1995.

Many of you probably know Tom from his various jobs around town in addition to being a math teacher. One of his most treasured jobs is riding in the 4th of July parade, bringing in the American flag. His wife, Joanna, was a meticulous housekeeper. Anyone who knows Joanne knows she would antique shop for months antiquing for just the right item for their home.
